摘要：Strong ownership of the product development process, while facilitating the generation of new products, can exacerbate escalating commitment and impede timely termination. We examine how managers, with foresight, use buy vs. make decisions to create psychological and organizational distance from a product and preempt escalating commitment.

Arguing that ownership bestows investors with influence over information intermediaries from which investors can profit, we suggest that firms receive less favorable ratings from rating agencies in which their rivals' investors have greater ownership. Building on research in this vein, we develop a dynamic theory ...

Our findings show that in group settings, participants' imma...
