The idea that new ventures are simple mimetic reflections of the organizational practices of existing organizations contradicts the recognized importance of organizational diversity for innovation. There is an inherent contradiction in the literature between the persistence implied by the inheritance of practices from prior employment, and the experimentation prevalent in the organizational practices contributed by new organizations. This paper first accounts for mechanisms that may drive heritage of practices from parent organizations to their spawns. It then sets out to explore mechanisms that may cause a lower degree of diversity in applied practices among established organizations, and lastly, the conditions that may cause a greater degree of diversity among practice combinations of startups. The reviewed mechanisms suggest that the distribution of organizational and strategic practices among established organizations and startups to be somewhat dissimilar, and that startups significantly contribute to the variation in organizational practices. Using a sample set of Danish organizations, we find evidence of greater diversity in organizational practices among newer organizations, while established organizations are more likely to converge on a set of similar practices. Our results further indicate that strategic disagreements between the entrepreneur and their prior employer are associated with greater differences in strategic orientation. A distinction between strategic and HRM practices provides additional insights.

组织实践的差异:创业公司真的有很大不同吗?

新企业只是对现有组织的组织实践的简单模仿,这种想法与公认的组织多样性对创新的重要性相矛盾。在文献中存在固有的矛盾,既有从先前雇用中继承的实践所隐含的持久性,也有新组织贡献的组织实践中普遍存在的实验。本文首先说明了可能推动上级组织从上级组织继承其实践的机制。然后,它着手探讨可能在既有组织中导致应用实践中较低程度的多样性的机制,最后是可能在创业公司的实践组合中导致较高程度的多样性的条件。审查过的机制表明,已建立的组织和初创企业之间组织和战略实践的分布有所不同,并且初创企业极大地促进了组织实践的变化。使用一组丹麦组织的样本,我们发现在较新的组织中组织实践中存在更大差异的证据,而成熟的组织则更有可能在一系列类似实践中趋于一致。我们的结果进一步表明,企业家与其前任雇主之间的战略分歧与更大的战略方向差异有关。战略和人力资源管理实践之间的区别提供了其他见解。创业公司为组织实践的变化做出了重要贡献。使用一组丹麦组织的样本,我们发现在较新的组织中组织实践中存在更大差异的证据,而成熟的组织则更有可能在一系列类似实践中趋于一致。我们的结果进一步表明,企业家与其前任雇主之间的战略分歧与更大的战略方向差异有关。战略和人力资源管理实践之间的区别提供了其他见解。创业公司为组织实践的变化做出了重要贡献。使用一组丹麦组织的样本,我们发现在较新的组织中组织实践中存在更大差异的证据,而成熟的组织则更有可能在一系列类似实践中趋于一致。我们的结果进一步表明,企业家与其前任雇主之间的战略分歧与更大的战略方向差异有关。战略和人力资源管理实践之间的区别提供了其他见解。而成熟的组织更可能会采用一系列类似的做法。我们的结果进一步表明,企业家与其前任雇主之间的战略分歧与战略方向上的更大差异有关。战略和人力资源管理实践之间的区别提供了更多的见解。而成熟的组织更可能会采用一系列类似的做法。我们的结果进一步表明,企业家与其前任雇主之间的战略分歧与更大的战略方向差异有关。战略和人力资源管理实践之间的区别提供了其他见解。
