摘要:I theorize the coevolution of technology and design by integrating research on the evolution of technology with ideas from sociology, marketing, and psychology that explain the effects of design. Specifically, I apply work arguing that visible design attributes, such as color, shape, or texture, allow producers to explain what their products do and how best to use them, to excite users in a way that generates sales, and to extend the basic functionalities of their products by highlighting thei...

摘要:Activist campaigns describe efforts to modify socially or environmentally detrimental industry practices by contesting prominent industry members' versions of those practices (i.e., target firms). We adopt a sociocognitive perspective to account for variance in when and how the managers of target and nontarget firms attend to, interpret, and respond to pressure from activists. Overall, we enhance theory by explaining why firms in an industry differ in their reactions to activism, even when the...

摘要:The philosophy of science offers two different perspectives on how empirical findings contribute to knowledge accumulation. The law-statement perspective interprets contributions to the extent that empirical research confirms or refutes general axioms of theory. Alternatively, the model-theoretic perspective recognizes contributions from models that improve scholars' ability to represent the world of managers. Management scholars often have limited awareness of the philosophical tradition unde...

摘要:We integrate research on family business and discontinuous change to better explain why incumbents vary in when and how they adopt discontinuous technologies. Family influence induces companies to strive for continuity, command, community, and connections and, thus, alters the mix of constraints under which firms operate. Consequently, family influence weakens several of the inertial forces described in the discontinuous change literature, particularly the level of formalization, dependence on...

摘要:As a new perspective for understanding firm responsiveness to stakeholder concerns, we propose a strategic cognition view of issue salience that is, the degree to which a stakeholder issue resonates with and is prioritized by management. Specifically, we explain how a firm's cognitive structures of organizational identity and strategic frames use different core logics to influence managerial interpretation of an issue as salient. We then present a typology of firm responsiveness and suggest th...

摘要:Various bodies of literature attest to how crises significantly damage the way people relate with one another damage that lasts long past the cessation of those crises. Such relational disturbances are problematic in terms of crisis management theory. If crises are understood to be operationally resolved yet the relational systems that underlie organizations remain disturbed, the crises may not truly be resolved, with implications for ongoing dysfunctional patterns of behavior, organizational ...
