What determines the performance of strategic alliance managers? Two lens model studies

“…Each competency was rated as essential, necessary, or relevant. The content validity ratios (Lawshe, 1975) ranged from 0.7 to 1.0 suggesting that most experts believe there is overlap between the content of the competencies identified through the literature reviews and the content of the clusters, and are consistent with Zoogah and Josephs (2005).…”

“…An organization's strategic priorities, as determined by the leader, influence activities and allocation of resources (Hill and Jones 2001). Zoogah and Josephs (2005) empirically demonstrated that organizations are responsive to institutional pressures for minority-group employee representation. They found that a higher education institution's responsiveness to institutional pressures (such as those from employers, advisory boards, and alumni) for demographically representative faculty and student bodies varied depending on institutional size, demographic composition of faculty and students, and institution type (private versus public).…”

“…A second possible explanation for differential representation of minority-group professionals is discrimination theory (Becker 1971;Zoogah and Josephs 2005). This theory proposes that an individual (e.g.…”
