TL;DR: An examination of the literature on conflict between work and family roles suggests that work-family conflict exists when time devoted to the requirements of one role makes it difficult to fulfill requirements of another.
Abstract: An examination of the literature on conflict between work and family roles suggests that work-family conflict exists when: (a) time devoted to the requirements of one role makes it difficult to fulfill requirements of another; (b) strain from participation in one role makes it difficult to fulfill requirements of another; and (c) specific behaviors required by one role make it difficult to fulfill the requirements of another. A model of work-family conflict is proposed, and a series of research propositions is presented.

TL;DR: An inductive study of eight microcomputer firms found that fast decision makers use more, not less, information than do slow decision makers, and use a two-tiered advice process.
Abstract: How do executive teams make rapid decisions in the high-velocity microcomputer industry? This inductive study of eight microcomputer firms led to propositions exploring that question. Fast decision makers use more, not less, information than do slow decision makers. The former also develop more, not fewer, alternatives, and use a two-tiered advice process. Conflict resolution and integration among strategic decisions and tactical plans are also critical to the pace of decision making. Finally, fast decisions based on this pattern of behaviors lead to superior performance.

TL;DR: In a longitudinal study, the authors found that higher group performance was associated with a particular pattern of conflict, and that teams performing well were characterized by low but increasing levels of conflict.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose several operational measures, and develop one that allows the use of secondary (financial) data to measure organizational slack, which serves to reduce goal conflict, to reduce information processing needs, to promote political behavior, or to facilitate certain strategic behaviors.
Abstract: According to various writers, organizational slack serves to reduce goal conflict, to reduce information processing needs, to promote political behavior, or to facilitate certain strategic behaviors. The salient feature is that the slack construct is usually discussed without a concurrent attempt at empirical measurement. In this article I propose several operational measures, and develop one that allows the use of secondary (financial) data.

TL;DR: The authors argue that domestic social conflicts are a key to understanding why growth rates lack persistence and why so many countries have experienced a growth collapse since the mid-1970s, emphasizing the manner in which social conflicts interact with external shock and the domestic institutions of conflict-management.
Abstract: This article argues that domestic social conflicts are a key to understanding why growth rates lack persistence and why so many countries have experienced a growth collapse since the mid-1970s. It emphasizes, in particular, the manner in which social conflicts interact with external shock on the one hand, and the domestic institutions of conflict-management on the other. Econometric evidence provides support for this hypothesis. Countries that experienced the sharpest drops in growth after 1975 were those with divided societies (as measured by indicators of inequality, ethnic fragmentation, and the like) and with weak institutions of conflict management (proxied by indicators of the quality of governmental institutions, rule of law, democratic rights, and social safety nets).
