摘要：Regulatory categorization can be a matter of life and death to firms, as it sets legal limitations on the production and sales of their product. In this paper we set out to uncover this critical process, for which there is only anecdotal information in extant literature, by asking how regulatory categories are determined through the strategies and interaction of firms, regulators, and other category audiences. We use extensive archival data to examine how U.S. dietary supplement makers first m...

摘要：In this paper, we explain how managers establish resource complementarity during their strategizing efforts for interorganizational collaboration. Based on a longitudinal field study at an automotive company, we show that resource complementarity is not given but jointly constructed in interactions with multiple potential partners through recursive cycles of what we refer to as prospective resourcing. Prospective resourcing mediates the interplay of strategizing and collaboration, thereby reve...

摘要：We draw on institutional theory to study a common type of new venture creation that has been neglected in the literature: the translation of an existing organizational form from a different-and misaligned-institutional context. To do so, we conducted an indepth case study of H-Farm, an Italian venture that was founded as a business incubator, a type of organization that first emerged in Silicon Valley and other U.S. technology regions. Our study illuminates the specific configuration of legiti...

摘要：Efforts to incorporate external feedback are central to the process of entrepreneurship and to that of creative work more broadly, yet, because individuals may view aspects of their creative ideas as linked to their self-concepts, this can trigger resistance toward revision. Thus, feedback-induced change, while likely intended to increase the viability of creative ideas, might paradoxically undermine that viability by compromising creative workers' associated identity-based relationships with ...

摘要：Many employees feel a general sense of unfairness toward their supervisors. A common reaction to such unfairness is to talk about it with coworkers. The conventional wisdom is that this unfairness talk should be beneficial to the aggrieved employees. After all, talking provides employees with an opportunity to make sense of the experience and to let off steam. We challenge this perspective, drawing on cognitive-motivationalrelational theory to develop arguments that unfairness talk leads to em...

摘要：Social approval assets derive their value from favorable stakeholder perceptions. Past research has focused primarily on their role as signals that reduce stakeholders' perceived uncertainty about the firm. However, social approval assets can also serve as frames that influence how other information is interpreted. We theorize how the frames associated with two social approval assets-status and celebrity-influence the interpretation of equivocal information about newly public firms. Specifical...

摘要：Whereas most investors seek to maximize their investment, there are some who profit from downward stock price movement. Engaging in such behavior is called short selling, and it has increased considerably among publicly traded North American firms in recent years. This study builds on threat rigidity theory to develop arguments about the behavioral consequences of short sellers. We theorize that, when firms have a high level of short interest, managers adopt a defensive stance by halting new g...

摘要：This paper explores the impact of two types of voice and gender on peer-rated social status and subsequent leader emergence. Across two studies-a three-wave field study and an experiment-we find that speaking up promotively, but not prohibitively, is positively and indirectly related to leader emergence via status, and that this relationship is conditional on the gender of the speaker. Specifically, men who spoke up promotively benefited the most in terms of status and leader emergence, not on...

摘要：The influence of human resource management on innovation has attracted considerable research attention over the last decade. However, existing studies have primarily focused on the macro-level human resource management architecture, limiting our understanding about the cross-level origin of innovation. Developing an emergence-based human resource management framework, we propose that an employee-experienced high-involvement work system (HIWS) promotes innovation by eliciting collective interac...

摘要：Securing financial resources from investors is a key challenge for many early-stage entrepreneurial ventures. Given the inherent uncertainty surrounding a decision to invest in these ventures, prior research has found that experienced investors rely heavily on their investor gut feel-that is, dynamic expertise-based emotion-cognitions specific to the entrepreneurship context. In this paper, I inductively find that rather than being based on rapid, nonconscious impulse, as much of prior literat...
