  • 1.  indicators of organizational adaptability and ability to retain resources

    Posted 05-22-2009 09:15
    Dear BPS Netters,

    I am looking for any research pieces that focus on the measurement of
    organizational adaptability - i.e. how 'good' is the organization in
    adapating to changing or turbulent environments, compared to its
    peers. My purpose is the cross-organizational comparison, preferably
    with empirical indicators that are robust across different industries
    and institutional settings.

    Similarly, I am looking for any publications that have measured the
    organizational ability to retain the organization-specific knowledge
    and / or any other critical organization-specific resources - also in
    comparison with peers.

    Thank you for any recommendations,

    Dear Pavel:

    I have developed a survey scale for the ability of a firm to develop new resources/competences, which is one aspect of "how 'good' is the organization in adapating to changing or turbulent environments, compared to its
    peers." The measure is not industry specific.

    I hope you may find it useful. See

    Danneels, Erwin (2008), “Organizational Antecedents of Second-Order Competences,” Strategic Management Journal, 28 (4): 519-543 .

    Erwin.
