External Control of Organizations: Resource Dependence Perspective
Abstract
Resource dependence theory was originally a product of Jeffrey Pfeffer, who later was joined by Gerald Salancik (Pfeffer and Salancik 1978). I have given this theory an estimated validity evaluation of five stars; the same importance rating is awarded by organizational behavior-5.29 to be exact (see Miner 2006a, Chapter 19; also Miner 2007, Chapter 25). In contradistinction to these high figures, resource dependence theory receives only a threestar evaluation on practical usefulness. It is essentially a sociological theory and, like most other theories of this genre, does not appear to have generated any meta-analyses. However, numerous positive evaluations exist.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
