Description

Explore the complex relationship between managerial freedom and organizational success with this academic study from Springer. This book addresses the discretion puzzle, a long-standing debate in business literature regarding whether granting more autonomy to managers improves, changes, or reduces company performance. By synthesizing principal-agent theory, stewardship theory, and managerial discretion theory, the author presents a new empirically-validated model designed to resolve these contradictions. The research is grounded in a significant data set featuring double-blind interviews with managers from 467 firms across China. Using partial least squares path modeling, the text provides deep insights for researchers, academics, and professionals interested in how management decisions impact performance within Chinese companies and multinational corporations. This work offers a bridge between conflicting theoretical results, providing a clearer understanding of management science in a global context.
