Holderness, Auteur ; Jeffrey Pontiff, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : pp. 1873-1886 Note générale : Management Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Hierarchy  Markets  Centralization  Decentralization  Organizational  structure Résumé : Using a comprehensive database of American prisoners of war during World War II, we find that survival from captivity generally declines as the hierarchy of a prisoner's group becomes steeper or more closely matches the military's established hierarchy. There is no evidence that survival is enhanced by being held in more hierarchical groups. One interpretation of these findings that is consistent with survivors' accounts is that the military's hierarchy was too inflexible to adapt from the battlefield to captivity and this inflexibility impeded trading among the prisoners.
