“…We counted systematically the frequencies of the appearances of the codes we identified, and cross-tabulated those frequencies against publication dates (years) to try to identify temporal patterns in the appearance of the different codes. Counting and cross tabulating are useful to identify trends (Bergh & Holbein, 1997), and content analysis researchers use these techniques as they consider that changes in the frequency with which words are used reflect at least a change in what the media pays attention to, if not in cognitive schema (Namenwirth & Weber, 1987 as cited in Duriau, Reger, & Pfarrer, 2007). We also analyzed the co-occurrence of certain codes, as co-occurrences of keywords can be seen as reflecting associations between the underlying concepts involved (Huff, 1990;Weber, 1990 …”

Our study also complements research on the role of analogical reasoning in business model innovation. Finally, we complement the market categorization literature by documenting a case of the emergence of a prototypical exemplar. Permanent repository link

“…Therefore, the analysis of word frequency in a massive amount of text can help to link everyday language use with the individual's personality, social behavior, and cognitive styles [80,83]. Changes in the use of words can also reflect changes in a man's attention [84].…”

Will the top managers’ attention to financial goals such as profit targets, operating expenses or debt payback schedule affect the firm’s innovation investment? The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the attention that the top management team (TMT) allocate on financial goals and R&D investment in Chinese firms. The roles of ownership type and company size as moderating effects in the relationship were also analyzed. This study used a panel dataset of 484 firms listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange from 2010 to 2014. The results show that TMT’s attention to monetary objectives was negatively related to the R&D investment. In the state-owned and large-scale enterprises, the negative relationship between the TMT’s financial orientation and R&D investment is weak compared to that in private companies and smaller enterprises, respectively. Several conclusions have been drawn. First, the attention paid by TMT to financial goals significantly affects the innovation investment of the company. Specifically, when executives press the importance of monetary targets, they reduce innovation investment, given that the effects of firm-specific characteristics are controlled. Second, corporate ownership significantly moderates the relationship. Given the same degree of attention bias toward financial targets, compared with those in private companies, executives in state-owned companies tend to be more willing to invest in corporate innovation activities. Third, as the size of the company increases, the company’s comprehensive strength and ability to resist risks would increase, which in turn raises the willingness to undertake high-cost and long-term-to-realize-benefit innovation activities, thus alleviating the effect of TMT’s pressure on financial performance.

Abstract:Purpose -The aim of this research was to develop a framework to understand organisational rhythm as a stimulus for further study into organisational change.Design/methodology/approach -This paper studies the experiences the Medical Discipline Colleges in The Netherlands as they underwent significant reorganisation and transfer of Ministerial authority. The data set consists of correspondence, reports and tapes of the meetings over 14 months and interviews with 26 employees.Findings -This research identified five sub-themes of rhythm (emphasis, intonation, pace, period and repetition). Putting these together, we present a framework to understand organisational rhythm during organisational change.Practical implications -We argue that by unpacking and exploring in more detail the sub-themes of rhythm (emphasis, intonation, pace, period and repetition) we can help to explain why complex change management initiatives may stall or fail to gain traction. By understanding the concept of rhythm as movement we can offer recommendations to organisations about how to move forward and overcome challenges associated with progress.Originality/value -In this paper, we make an important distinction between rhythm in terms of movement and flow of activity, which has often been overlooked by research, which focuses on temporal aspects of organisations, which we classify as frequency -relating to the sequencing and duration of change.
