摘要：We investigated the extent to which venture capitalists' (VCs') perceptions of entrepreneurial passion influence the VCs' investment decisions, We defined entrepreneurial passion as an entrepreneur's intense affective state accompanied by cognitive and behavioral manifestations of high personal value. We conceptualized VCs' decision making as a persuasion process in which entrepreneurs present a message (a business plan) to attract investors using the unimodel of persuasion. After developing a...

摘要：We examine the role of multibusiness corporations in the development of young industries. We propose and find that established firms diversifying into a new industry that owes its birth to a disruptive technological change give birth to corporate children that are both weaker survivors than freestanding start-ups and stronger legitimators of the industry as a whole. Thus, corporate parents promote the survival of other organizations in this type of young industry while hindering the survival o...

摘要：Relying on institutional theory, agency rationale, and environmental management research, we hypothesize that, in polluting industries, good environmental performance increases CEO pay; that environmental governance mechanisms strengthen this linkage; that pollution prevention strategies affect executive compensation more than end-of-pipe pollution control; and that long-term pay increases pollution prevention success. Using longitudinal data on 469 U.S. firms, we found support for three hypot...

摘要：We examine how firms use the experiential learning of certain supply-side agents-technology solution providers-to overcome technological, organizational, and market-related knowledge hurdles to adopting innovations. Studying the electronic banking innovations of 4,293 credit unions that had relationships with 55 such providers during 2000-04, we found that their technical experiential diversity positively influences client innovation adoption, although benefits taper off at high levels of dive...

摘要：We use meta-analytical techniques to address three central debates in institutional theory: Is organizational behavior the product of social structure or organizational agency? Does conformity to institutional norms enhance or diminish organizational performance? Can organizational field-level factors explain differences in the pull of isomorphic forces across organizational fields? We find that the influence of social structure is weak. Also, the adoption of isomorphic templates improves both...

摘要：The longitudinal, multisource, multimethod study presented herein examines the role of employees' work-family integration in the spillover of daily job satisfaction onto daily marital satisfaction and affective states experienced by employees at home. The spillover linkages are modeled at the within-individual level, and results support the main effects of daily job satisfaction on daily marital satisfaction and affect at home, as well as the moderating effect of work-family integration on the...

摘要：The mutual forbearance hypothesis states that when the same competitors meet in multiple markets, rivalry is deterred. Our study highlights how pressures for local responsiveness impact the veracity of this hypothesis for multinational corporations (MNCs) in host countries. We develop theory to explain how subsidiary ownership, home-host cultural distance, host country regulatory restrictions on MNC activities, and the presence of local competitors affect the rivalry-dampening impact of multim...

摘要：This article employs rhetorical theory to reconceptualize institutionalization as change in argument structure. As a state, institutionalization is embodied in the structure of argument used to justify a practice at a given point in time. As a process, institutionalization is modeled as changes in the structure of arguments used to justify a practice over time. We use rhetoric surrounding the institutionalization of total quality management (TQM) practices within the American business communit...

摘要：Drawing on institutional theory emphasizing translation and discourse, we explore outsider-driven deinstitutionalization through a case study of the abandonment of widespread, taken-for-granted practices of DDT use between 1962 and 1972. Our findings illustrate how abandonment of practices results from problematizations that-through subsequent translation-change discourse in ways that undermine the institutional pillars supporting practices. This occurs through new subject positions from which...
