摘要：The term actor is a central yet contested construct in institutional theory. Regardless of one's position, institutional theory requires a scaffolding that acknowledges the novelty and diversity of actor analyses and facilitates the commensurability, application, and reach in scholarly uses of the term. We put forth a view of actor as an abstraction that consists of three core elements: (1) the level(s) of society that claims about actors occupy (e.g., from individual to organizational to soci...

摘要：Managers and academics are increasingly viewing innovating firms as being interdependent on other firms in the business ecosystem. But how might the structure of interdependencies shape the innovativeness of firms in an ecosystem? To answer this question, we develop a search-based theory that considers a multiplicity of upstream and downstream firms simultaneously innovating in an ecosystem, contributing to and searching for novel combinations of components. We conceptualize two types of struc...

摘要：In today's turbulent business environments, work teams frequently face a variety of adverse conditions and, as a result, can experience process breakdowns and performance declines. Despite existing research on team effectiveness, we know very little about what enables teams to bounce back from adversity-induced setbacks. This is problematic because such negative experiences can lead to team failure. In response to this, we draw from conservation of resources theory to develop a comprehensive t...

摘要：CEO retirement represents the most common reason for executive succession in the United States and globally, with important implications for many stakeholders. Yet a comprehensive theory of late-career-stage executives-such as those approaching retirement-is absent from the management literature. Building on the literature on liminality, we develop theory centered on late-stage CEOs by conceptualizing executive retirement as a process that unfolds in three phases. In our framework we integrate...

摘要：This article reflects on our article of 2009, Organizational path dependence: Opening the black box, which received the Academy of Management Review's Decade Award in 2019. We review how the article has been used in subsequent research, discuss the criticism it has elicited, and reexamine our original propositions in light of theoretical insights gained since the text's publication. We also explore the linkages to related concepts, such as complexity, hierarchy, agency, and expansion. We concl...

摘要：The 9/11 terrorist attacks manifested change in the world around us and caused many people to reevaluate their work and lives. Nearly two decades later, with the benefit of hindsight, we can see the effects of changing political power on the American Dream-and, in turn, on the perceived purpose of business organizations and individuals' experience of the meaning of work. To study these phenomena through a diversity of perspectives, we examine four post-9/11 stories in which business is a centr...

摘要：The vast domain of research in business schools may be categorized according to Stokes's four quadrant classification, which uses two dimensions: consideration of use (yes or no) and quest for fundamental understanding (yes or no). Viewing business school research in the context of these quadrants, it becomes clear that all four quadrants are so closely linked that research in each informs and inspires research in the others. It is therefore critical that business schools promote research in a...
