摘要：Successfully navigating critical uncertainties during the incipient stages of new ventures requires these ventures to develop learning systems, and building the right team may be key in this process. Drawing on prior work indicating that entrepreneurial teams form using either an interpersonal-attraction strategy (relationships with similar others in a close network) or a resource-seeking strategy (instrumental focus on complementary skills), we theorize that a dual formation strategy, althoug...

摘要：Drawing from a 21-month field study of an athletic footwear and apparel company, I build theory on how a shared sense of meaningfulness forms through interaction ritual and emotion. I find that a shared sense of meaningfulness is composed of a shared feeling and a shared representation that are constructed sequentially. Leaders trigger and propel formation through a set of actions I refer to as ritual work that proliferates emotional energy across the population of members. Members subsequentl...

摘要：Views differ on whether individuals with a calling orientation toward work (i.e., seeing work as personally fulfilling and contributing to a better world) enjoy more favorable objective career outcomes, such as higher income and chance of promotion, versus those with a job orientation (i.e., seeing work as a means to a financial end). We suggest that the impasse is partially due to prior research's exclusive focus on how work orientation affects one's effort and subsequent job performance. Dra...

摘要：While the outcomes of brokerage have been extensively investigated, the issue of when and why brokerage structures persist or decay has attracted relatively little research interest. Taking the perspective of the disconnected firms to whom the broker is tied, the alters, we argue that structurally induced inequity in opportunity, or the broker's potential recombination of a larger share of alters' knowledge than vice versa, exerts a destabilizing effect on brokerage persistence. Furthermore, g...

摘要：We explore the global fossil fuel divestment movement to show how climate activists worked to stigmatize the fossil fuel industry using analogy. In doing so, we develop a model that illustrates how constructing a moral dualism is central to stigmatizing an organizational category. This involves concurrently establishing stigmatizers (ingroup) as morally superior and amplifying the deviancy of the fossil fuel industry (outgroup), both in relation to analogical contexts. Stigmatizers strategical...

摘要：Firms often depend on relationships with other firms to access important resources. When a crisis strikes a firm, the continuation of those relationships can be jeopardized, as many indirectly affected firms will leave the relationship. This abandonment can be particularly harmful if the crisis-struck firm is dependent on the relationship for valuable resources. However, some firms choose to continue their relationship with the crisis-struck firm. We consider what makes those firms resist the ...

摘要：Management scholars have argued and demonstrated that firms use strategic noise as an anticipatory form of impression management to minimize the effect of a potential negative reaction to an event of interest. In this study, we contribute to the impression management literature by exploring how both positive and negative strategic noise may intercede in the process of reactive impression management. We argue that in reactive impression management, since firms already know the initial market re...

摘要：Research has shown that most ventures fail, yet there has been limited work on investors' views of entrepreneurs who have failed in the past. We address this gap and call attention to an innate asymmetry between past failure and success. This asymmetry arises because success requires skill and luck jointly, whereas failure materializes due to either lack of skill (mistakes) or bad luck (misfortune). We ask: Are investors failure-averse and discount a failed entrepreneur even in the presence of...

摘要：Considering creativity as a journey beyond idea generation, scholars have theorized that different ties are beneficial in different phases. As individuals usually possess different types of ties, selecting the optimal ties in each phase and changing ties as needed are central activities for creative success. We identify the types of ties (weak or strong) that are helpful in idea generation and idea elaboration and, given this understanding, whether individuals activate ties in each phase accor...

摘要：Through an inductive study of learning and development (L&D) executives in 69 multinational organizations, we build a theory of marginal leaders' conception of learning in organizations. We found that, as marginal leaders, L&D executives lacked an established template for their leader identity and had to navigate conflicting prescriptions for their function. The conception of learning-a process that involved finding a place in relation to significant counterparts, taking a stance on learning, ...
