摘要:The existence of a learning curve in which a firm's costs decline with cumulative experience suggests that early entry provides learning opportunities that create an advantage by reducing future costs relative to later entrants. While prior strategy research has often assumed that learning curves are deterministic and known ex ante to firms, substantial evidence suggests that learning curves are inherently uncertain. If there is uncertainty in the learning curve, then the taken-for-granted wis...

摘要:Through digitalization, online platforms facilitate suppliers to meet market demand with customized offerings, but this business model's value-creation potential is often hampered by market frictions. Consequently, suppliers may avoid exerting effort and so customers may be unwilling to pay a premium. This article develops an analytical model to address market frictions. We identify circumstances where the classic reputation mechanism is insufficient and then propose a new strategy whereby the...

摘要:Existing work on legacy in management has focused on the upper echelons and on the legator-the person leaving the legacy. Drawing on the meaning maintenance model and concepts surrounding psychological ownership and identity, we build a model that focuses on legatees-the beneficiaries of the legacy-in the lower echelons. The depar-ture of a manager, informal leader, or star serves as a disruption to legatees' mental rep-resentations of their working world. That disruption causes them to attend...

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: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:In this paper I examine the ancient wisdom on how to make good leadership decisions that Antigone offers. Creon, Antigone's ruler, preconizes the traditionally masculine leadership conduct, with hubristic tyrannical tendencies, that deliver tragic consequen-ces. Antigone schools Creon and the audience, firstly, by identifying the behaviors and circumstances that favor bad and untimely leadership decisions. Then Antigone presents the wisdom of phronesis as the way forward for good and timely le...
