摘要:Recent management research suggests that firms try to orchestrate conformity and distinctiveness in their behavior to reconcile opposing demands of norm compliance and competitive distinction in order to appear optimally distinct. Whether they succeed or not depends on how audiences perceive the multiple signals they elicit. Extant literature has not fully uncovered how the media combine these different signals to form a representation of firms' behavior and their subsequent reactions to these...

摘要:While external search allows organizations to source diverse ideas from people outside the organization, it often generates a narrow set of nondiverse ideas. We theorize that this stems from an interplay between organizations' idea selection and the external generation of ideas: an organization selects ideas shared by external contributors, and the external contributors, who strive to see their ideas selected, use the prior selection to infer what kind of ideas the organization is looking for,...

摘要:Managers often desire to see their organization adopt new technologies but depend on autonomous professionals to use such technologies in practice. In seeking technology adoption, organizations thus must find a middle ground between professional autonomy and managerial goals. Extant scholarship has examined such middle grounds but has focused on adoptions of specific technologies. However, amid broad technology adoption pressures-expectations on organizations lacking precise prescriptions, suc...

摘要:The tournament literature has typically traced employees' competitive actions to characteristics of individual-level career tournaments. Yet, such individual-level tournaments usually transcend firms that themselves compete in a firm-level tournament. We study the cross-level implications of a firm-level tournament for the competitive actions that constituent employees undertake against other individuals internal and external to their firm. We propose a theory of individual reputational incent...

摘要:To hedge unforeseen risk, investors may prioritize male-led ventures that they anticipate most other investors will prefer, arriving at decisions that are biased against women. Yet, little is known about how investors infer such gendered preferences and when they are particularly likely to do so. Integrating insights from third-party bias research with social role theory, we posit that when women propose novel ventures, investors are more apt to make unpromising social approval forecasting-an ...

摘要:Problemistic search literature has long sought to understand which responses firms adopt when addressing performance shortfalls. Studies have typically considered certain responses and focused on established decision rules to examine search directions, thereby, implicitly assuming that all responses considered are workable solutions to performance shortfalls. Conversely, we argue that variations in decision -makers' beliefs about the effectiveness of particular responses in improving firm perf...

摘要:This study proposes that CEO attentional vigilance, defined as maintaining a consistentlevel of attention over time, can contribute to a firm's pursuit of exploration. Using datafrom new product introductions in the software industry, along with a text-based mea-sure of attentional vigilance derived from earnings conference calls, I find that CEOattentional vigilance to exploration has a positive effect on the firm's rate of exploration.Additionally, I observe that this positive impact is more...

摘要:The success of diversity initiatives depends on the support of those in positions of structural power-that is, managers. However, managers often resist such initiatives. Existing academic and practitioner conversations point to managers' demographics or ideology as the source of resistance to diversity initiatives. We propose that such resistance may originate from the managerial position itself. We argue that positions of structural power induce organizational identification, which motivates ...

摘要:Identifying executives' industry affiliation with categorical membership, this study examines how moving to a different industry impacts mobility-compensation outcomes. On the demand side, we propose that audience ambiguity and commitment concerns regarding cross-category moves limit the potential compensation of industry-changing executives. On the supply side, we argue that executives might accept smaller monetary rewards in exchange for acquiring experience in a new domain. Since category s...
