摘要：Although resources are instrumental to a competitive advantage, management must effectively bundle and deploy an organization's resources for an advantage to be realized. Despite their importance, little research has examined these managerial actions. Using a sample of competitive dyads, we tested theory regarding the effects of rivals' comparative resource stocks and managers' bundling and deployment actions on competitive outcomes. Results indicate that both comparative advantages in resourc...

摘要：The resources that individual directors bring to corporate boards are largely a function of their human and social capital. Although research has explored the value of having former federal government officials join boards, we study factors that make one particular former government official more, or less, attractive as a director than another. Specifically, we explore the depth, breadth, and deterioration of former government officials' human and social capital and find that these dimensions ...

摘要：We describe two theoretical explanations for the amount, pace, and costs of the prestige enhancement a firm engages in during the year before its initial public offering. The snowball model captures well-known processes whereby prestige-rich organizations accumulate even more prestige. The dressing-up model builds upon deadline-induced remediation, a phenomenon not previously studied in a macro-organizational context. In 242 software IPOs, the snowball model substantially explains final-year p...

摘要：Researchers have assumed that employee support programs cultivate affective organizational commitment by enabling employees to receive support. Using multimethod data from a Fortune 500 retail company, we propose that these programs also strengthen commitment by enabling employees to give support. We find that giving strengthens affective organizational commitment through a prosocial sensemaking process in which employees interpret personal and company actions and identities as caring. We disc...

摘要：This article extends research on the relationship. between employee mobility and firm performance by exploring how mobility between competitors and mobility between potential cooperators are different. We draw on social capital theory to argue that movement of employees both to and from clients may enhance firm performance, whereas only inward mobility from competitors benefits firms. We also hypothesize that it is more harmful for firms to lose social capital-laden human assets to competitors...

摘要：We examine the contagion processes whereby practices originating in one organizational population spread into and diffuse within a second. We theorize that endemic innovations native to one population spread to other populations through two distinct forms of contagion. We test this argument by observing information technology firms' adoption of corporate venture capital programs. Results suggest that geographic proximity triggers cross-population contagion, that within-population contagion ari...

摘要：We develop grounded theory about how individuals respond to the subjective experience of performing necessary evils and how that influences the way they treat targets of their actions. Despite the importance and difficulty of delivering just, compassionate treatment when it is most needed-when necessarily harming another person-little research has focused on those who must do so. Using qualitative data from 111 managers, doctors, police officers, and addiction counselors, we document how perfo...

摘要：We examine how the disclosure of negative firm information may prompt top executives to render personal and professional favors for security analysts, who may reciprocate by rating firms relatively positively. We further examine how negative ratings may prompt executive negative reciprocity toward an analyst and how such retaliation may deter other analysts' negative ratings. Because analyst recommendations influence investor behavior, firm reputation, and access to capital, our theory and sup...

摘要：According to real options theory, international joint ventures (IJVs) offer valuable growth options, yet there has been no direct evidence of whether, and under what conditions, firms actually capture such value. We argue that an IJV's ownership structure, product-market focus, and geographic location are important contingencies affecting the value of embedded growth options. Our evidence confirms that IJVs do enhance firms' growth option values, but only under certain circumstances. Specifica...
