摘要：Transaction cost economics (TCE) carefully analyzes market failure while remaining largely silent about hierarchical failure. We argue that this omission occurs because TCE's opportunism assumption does not consider organizational member motivations under different hierarchical forms. Thus, TCE does not fully examine opportunistic behavior under hierarchy, resulting in an incomplete governance analysis. To fill this gap, we build a discriminating alignment theory of hierarchical choice that in...

摘要：Business model research has largely focused on business models as real entities, as cog-nitive and linguistic schema, and as formal representations. Although such research has made important contributions to the management literature, it has largely ignored the interrelationship between business models as schema and business models as formal representations in explaining business model change. We build on grounded cognition theories and the notion of boundary objects to offer a grounded cognit...

摘要：Research suggests that entrepreneurs persuade stakeholders to engage in risky projects in an uncertain future through visions, compelling narratives of the future. A unique challenge for entrepreneurs, however, is how entrepreneurs can construct a narrative that unites stakeholders with different perceptions of the degree of risk or uncertainty posed by the future. We address this question with a diegetic narrative model of stake-holder enrollment. Our primary argument is that, to reduce varia...

摘要：Integrating Hobfoll's (1989) conservation of resources theory with Berry's (1997) acculturation taxonomies, we develop a typological theory to explain the acculturation stress and adaptation processes of domestic employees in the context of globalization. From a resource-based perspective, we first identify four resources-social dominance, ethnocentric orientation, social capital, and absorptive capacity-that represent Hobfoll's four kinds of resources (i.e., object, personal, condition, and e...

摘要：Underdog stories--in which the disadvantaged and outmatched protagonist overcomes the odds-are ubiquitous. Leaders across industries, from telecom to sports, employ these narratives to inspire members of their organizations. However, little is understood about how underdog narratives influence the actions and attitudes of members of organizations. To address this gap, we explain how a leader's communication of an underdog narrative may instill confidence in members of the organization that tog...

摘要：The emerging processual view of institutions has eroded the assumption of institutional stability in favor of a more dynamic view of institutions as ongoing processes, thereby foregrounding the question of institutional stabilization. Grounded in a process ontology, we conceptualize institutions as ever-becoming yet enduring social processes that are meaningful and carry prescriptions for actors' legitimate participation. Building on this conceptualization, we develop a theoretical model of th...

摘要：Entrepreneurship scholars often lament the lack of economic growth in contexts of poverty and informality. We propose that this dismal assessment, as well as subsequent prescriptions to address it, flow from a narrow epistemological approach to informality based on absence, where the lack of (Western) market-supporting legal and regulatory institutions explain missing economic growth at the firm level. In contrast, we build a theoretical approach grounded in presence, proposing that a more com...

摘要：This article presents a theory of organizational purpose that is normatively neutral and, hence, can be deployed to study firms without prejudging their role in society. The argu-ment employs two philosophical concepts: intentionality and speech acts. The first is used to conceptualize the corporate mind, which is a set of long-lived beliefs about the world as it is and intentions about the world as it will be that drives organizational activ-ity. Corporate minds allow for complex and valuable...
