Intuition in Management Research: A Historical Review

In this historical review we chart the progress of intuition research over the past eight decades. We highlight the distinction between intuition research in management and intuition research in base disciplines and related fields, and offer a critical commentary on the ways in which the dynamic between these two historical threads has affected progress in the study of intuition in organizations. We conclude by identifying several promising new directions for intuition research, and offer a number of recommendations to intuition researchers in management which may help in taking this topic forward in ways that do not recapitulate previous errors, diversions or digressions.     

创始爱心资金获取：情感信任还是能力信任

创始资金是新创企业开展创业活动的关键资源,但由于新创弱性和缺乏有效的市场记录,创业者不得不更多寻求非正式制度的社会网络支持,来自家人和朋友的爱心资金是对正式金融机构融资制度的重要补充和替代。已有研究大多将爱心资金与爱和情感联系起来,忽视理性因素的考虑。结合中国的制度文化情景,建立基于情感信任和理性信任的爱心资金获取整合模型,深化创业资金获取的社会网络和制度理论分析。基于2009年至2011年中国新生创业活动动态跟踪调研数据进行实证分析,采用Probit回归方法对社会网络、制度环境、创业活跃度和爱心资金之间关系进行理论分析和实证检验,进一步考察爱心资金结构差异对创业绩效的影响。研究结果表明,情感信任与能力信任的交互作用与爱心资金存在正相关关系,制度环境对情感信任与能力信任的交互作用与爱心资金的关系存在负向调节,创业活跃度则呈现正向调节。研究结论拓展和深化了创业社会网络的分析框架,将情感和理性因素结合起来,突破了已有研究对于血缘的利他主义和朋友的道义责任的情感性单一解释。     

A Novel Regression Approach: Least Squares Ratio

Regression Analysis (RA) is one of the frequently used tool for forecasting. The Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) Technique is the basic instrument of RA and there are many regression techniques based on OLS. This paper includes a new regression approach, called Least Squares Ratio (LSR), and comparison of OLS and LSR according to mean square errors of estimation of theoretical regression parameters (mse ß) and dependent value (mse y).     

Collective Intuition: Implications for Improved Decision Making and Organizational Learning

This article establishes the foundation for research on collective intuition through a study of decision making and organizational learning processes in police senior management teams. We conceptualize collective intuition as independently formed judgement based on domain‐specific knowledge, experience and cognitive ability, shared and interpreted collectively. We contribute to intuition research, which has tended to focus its attention at the individual level, by studying intuition collectively in team settings. From a dual‐process perspective, we investigate how expert intuition and deliberation affect decision making and learning at various levels of the organization. Furthermore, we contribute to organizational learning research by offering an empirically derived elaboration of the foundational 4I framework, identifying additional ‘feed‐forward’ and ‘feedback’ loop processes, and thereby providing a more complete account of this organizational learning model. Bridging a variety of relevant but previously unconnected literatures via our focal concept of collective intuition, our research provides a foundation for future studies of this vitally important but under‐researched organizational phenomenon. We offer theoretical and practical implications whereby expert intuitions can be developed and leveraged collectively as valuable sources of organizational knowledge and learning, and contribute to improved decision making in organizations.     

Differentiation of capital and international labor migration: constructing a working hypothesis

Various studies on trends in international labor migration are first reviewed. A hypothesis is then constructed to explain international labor migration in terms of the differentiation of capital. An important distinction is made between the oligopoly capital and non-oligopoly capital of industrialized countries (core states): non-oligopoly capital needs migrant workers, whereas oligopoly capital tends to go abroad and employs the labor it needs in less developed countries (peripheral states). The hypothesis is tested using data for European industrialized and semi-industrialized countries. Suggestions for further research projects are given.
