摘要：How does the legitimacy conferred on entrepreneurial endeavors affect the legitimacy of subsequent ones? We extend the notion of a legitimacy threshold to develop and test a recursive model of legitimacy. Whereas extant research has focused on whether entrepreneurial endeavors garner sufficient support from key audiences to cross this threshold, we argue that the order of magnitude by which they succeed or fail is also consequential for later entrants. Distinguishing blockbuster from unsung su...

摘要：In this research, we ask whether and how founders bring about business model innovation. Grounded in an in-depth longitudinal multiple-case study, our analysis reveals three practices that help explain how founders' thinking patterns and behaviors shape business model innovation in their ventures: industry-spanning search, complex system thinking style, and powerful centralized decision making. Three corresponding yet opposing founder practices are present in cases with low business model inno...

摘要：Although previous research has highlighted the disproportional contributions of star employees to their teams, an emerging line of research has begun to examine the potentially negative consequences of team stars. Drawing on a social model of team creativity, we develop a dualistic model of the influences of team creative stars on team creativity. Specifically, we explore the roles of two types of team members-star and nonstar employees-in driving team creativity. Across two multiwave and mult...

摘要：The communities of research and practice are embedded in different knowledge systems; research favors rigor, while practice favors relevance. Many management scholars have concluded that cocreating knowledge with these two knowledge systems is difficult and rare, with such criticisms or reservations often being based on an event-based account of cocreation in which the cocreation activities occur over a distinct period of time with a clear beginning and end. However, event-based accounts bring...

摘要：As an organizational form, cooperatives are increasingly being used throughout the world across different industries and sectors. While it has been suggested that various benefits can be derived from shared ownership, cooperatives are often characterized by conflict among members that, in turn, can lead to eventual failure of the cooperatives. Existing theory has suggested that the choice of formal control structure can play an important role in mitigating conflict, but a longstanding debate e...

摘要：In demographically diverse organizations, employees charged with socializing others-socialization agents-must navigate a deep tension between the organization's needs to integrate individuals into a collective and individuals' needs for recognition of their unique identities. Through a qualitative study of employees in an urban charter high school where race and class inequalities are salient, we find that socialization agents experience this tension as identity threatening. We develop a theor...

摘要：When actors transgress social norms, their social status colors the severity with which they are punished. While some argue that high-status transgressors attract severe punishment when accused of ambiguous transgressions, others contend the opposite. In this paper, we attempt to reconcile this theoretical inconsistency. We propose that the capacity for social status to color third-party judgments of transgressions may depend on the status type of high-status actors. Drawing on the evolutionar...

摘要：Firms consider multiple reference points simultaneously to assess performance; however, these referents may be inconsistent in signaling success or failure. Consequently, decision makers use one of two contrasting decision rules when responding to inconsistent feedback: problem solving or self-enhancement. So far, disparate theoretical logics and mixed evidence has limited our understanding about when decision makers shift their attention from positive to negative aspects of inconsistent feedb...

摘要：Many new ventures have to pivot-radically transform what they are about-because their original approach has failed. However, pivoting risks disrupting relationships with key stakeholders, such as user communities, who identify with ventures. Stakeholders may respond by withdrawing support and starving ventures of the resources needed to thrive. This can pose an existential threat to ventures, yet it is unclear how they might manage this problem. To explore this important phenomenon, we conduct...
