Divisional Multimarket Contact Within And Between Multiunit Organizations, Arturs Kalnins Feb 2004

Divisional Multimarket Contact Within And Between Multiunit Organizations, Arturs Kalnins

Arturs Kalnins

The theory of multimarket contact has important but uninvestigated implications for interactions among a firm's divisions because divisions often meet and even compete in multiple geographical and product markets. I hypothesize that firms with incentives to induce competition among divisions will act to reduce levels of multimarket contact among those divisions. Further, I predict that, in markets with substantial uncertainty, firms will increase divisional multimarket contact. I find support for these hypotheses in the setting of the franchised fast-food industry.

Shaping The Body & Soul Of The Board: The Role Of Institutional Pressures, Alfredo Enrione, Fernando Zerboni

Alfredo Enrione

The world is witnessing a massive and generalized effort to improve the practices within the board of directors. However, there is still little understanding of the processes by which these new practices or models are adopted. Moreover, there is a growing consensus that the most important challenge is improving not only the more structural and visible attributes of the board but the internal dynamics that are much harder to monitor by a third party. This work seeks to bring some light into this discussion by analyzing the role of the environment in the adoption of specific board features. We propose …
