The resource-based view of the firm in two environments: the Hollywood film studios from 1936 to 1965

Article Abstract:

This article continues to operationally define and test the resource-based view of the firm in a study of the major U.S. film studios from 1936 to 1965. We found that property-based resources in the form of exclusive long-term contracts with stars and theaters helped financial performance in the stable, predictable environment of 1936-50. In contrast, knowledge-based resources in the form of production and coordinative talent and budgets boosted financial performance in the more uncertain (changing and unpredictable) post-television environment of 1951-65.

Some organizational consequences of CEO succession

Article Abstract:

This longitudinal study examined the impact that chief executive officer succession had on changes in the structures and strategy-making processes of some large corporations. The results indicate that succession events tended to be followed by a diffusion of authority and, in the context of poor performance, by increased organizational information processing. New leadership was also associated with change, regardless of direction, in most of the dimensions of structure and process assessed. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
