摘要：As jobs become increasingly unstable and contingent and employees are increasingly geo-graphically separated and likely to communicate via technology, employees may find it more difficult to feel connected with one another and to navigate work interactions. We the-orize that, given such circumstances, employees are likely to engage in work-related imag-ined interactions, mental simulations of interactions with work-related others. Drawing on a core social motives framework, we propose two prim...

摘要：The ability of teams to self-organize and engage in spontaneous collaboration is crucial to 21st-century organizations. The large extent of nonroutine activities in such organiza-tions hampers the effectiveness of traditional management instruments, such as monitor-ing effort and performance levels and exercising fiat-resulting in increasingly important self-organized collaboration. To explain how such collaboration is possible, we suggest a refinement of the psychological assumptions underpin...

摘要：Creativity has long been defined in terms of novelty and usefulness. Surprisingly, how-ever, there is relatively little agreement about the precise meaning of either dimension, the relationship between them, or the process through which they are produced. In this paper, we explore how novelty and usefulness have been used explicitly and implicitly in the creativity literature to reveal three ways to understand the definitional constructs. We propose that these three understandings give rise to...

摘要：We present a theoretical framework to address the inherent endogeneity problem in entry-timing research by distinguishing the concept of first-mover benefits (FMB) from first-mover advantages (FMA)-the former being a counterfactual and (usually) unob-served pure treatment effect, and the latter being an actual observed combination of treatment and selection effects. They differ in the baseline to which the first mover's performance is compared-either to the follower's actual performance (for F...

摘要：Building on pragmatism, we advance an entrepreneur-as-scientist perspective and depict entrepreneurs as engaging in causally inferential action by forming beliefs, testing these beliefs, and responding to the feedback received. However, this sequence of entrepreneurial actions arrives with a set of companion doubts: namely, doubt about product- market fit, because the entrepreneurs' beliefs are self-chosen; doubt about feedback validity from false positives or false negatives; and doubt about ...

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：We address a key theoretical issue in the literature of dominant coalitions by explaining why, contrary to conventional wisdom, we observe the emergence of different coalitions under identical equity holdings of shareholders. Shifting the focus from exploring drivers of dominant coalition configurations in isolation (e.g., equity holdings), we expand on a relational perspective to explore how relational ties (soft power) among family shareholders interplay with equity holdings (hard power) in ...

摘要：The paper unpacks the black box of informal institutions and theorizes about the role of informal networks in channeling continuity and change in informal institutions. Spe-cifically, we argue that the persistence of informal institutions depends on the function-alities of the informal networks upon which they rest. When informal institutions are enacted by informal networks that are relatively affective and relatively closed, their persistence is higher than the persistence of informal instit...

摘要：In this essay, we review Jacques Ellul's (1964) book The Technological Society to highlight technique-the book's central phenomenon- and its theoretical relevance for organizational and institutional theorists. Technique is defined as the totality of methods rationally arrived at and having absolute efficiency ... in every field of human activity in society (Ellul, 1964: xxv, emphasis added). More than simply machine technology, technique involves the rational pursuit of standard-ized means or...
