摘要:How firms capture value from their innovations has long interested strategy and innovation scholars. Prior work has focused on legal, economic, and social mechanisms for isolating knowledge from imitation as being crucial to this process. Our contribution extends this stream of research by identifying how design choices about the way knowledge is manifested (e.g., into routines, blueprints, prototypes, or products) can inhibit a counterparty's ability to imitate knowledge relating to a focal i...

摘要:For better or for worse, one stakeholder's utility derives in part from their perceptions of how other stakeholders are being treated by the business. Yet, to date, the stakeholder literature has not explained well what stakeholders are actually looking for in a business's treatment of other stakeholders. We allow for and help explain an emerging view in the literature whereby stakeholders might be looking out for each other's interests, but we round out that view by also allowing for and expl...

摘要:The existing research on identity work is primarily focused on identities in isolation as well as how individuals respond to identity threats. We seek to broaden the identity work literature in several ways. First, in order to take into consideration multiple identities, we adopt the intrapersonal identity network approach, which focuses on the relationships-both ties and hierarchical salience-between identities in order to theorize about how making changes to one identity impacts the relation...

摘要:Evidence suggests that firms often do not respond even when they are aware of an attack and have the capability to counter it. We believe that this is because they engage in a form of nonresponse that we designate as strategic forbearance, a phenomenon that has been mostly neglected by scholars of competitive dynamics. We view such forbearance as a critical component of competitive strategy-an attempt to situate responses to attacks within a more complex and nuanced strategic, organizational, ...

摘要:Employees form commitments to multiple targets, and the coordination of those multiple commitments has become a ubiquitous part of the contemporary workplace. However, commitments are still largely studied in isolation or in one-off combinations, and current commitment theory does not account for the dynamic interrelationships among multiple commitments. To address this deficiency, we propose commitment system theory (CST). We draw upon general systems theory to depict commitment systems as ma...

摘要:Support systems for early venturing efforts need to be harmonious with the emergent nature of those efforts. With the current literature treating the conceptions of new ventures as exogenous, there has been a limited focus on the transition of venturing efforts from nebulous, open-ended, and accidental toward becoming scalable, focused, and deliberate. We develop a dynamic model for organizing support systems for the early phases of new venture creation, where scattered ideas evolve into ventu...

摘要:An important conversation in entrepreneurship focuses on the question of whether entrepreneurial opportunities are objective or subjective. The discovery view suggests that they are objective. The creation view suggests they are subjective. Resolving the debate requires first understanding what objectivity is for any social phenomenon. The debate can then be disaggregated into two questions: Are entrepreneurial opportunities ontologically subjective, and can they be epistemologically objective...
