  摘要：The rapid growth in the use of teams and multiple team membership has led more organizations to structure work around dynamic teams, characterized by short lifespans and fluid membership boundaries. This approach to organizing work makes it difficult for teams to work efficiently or to support the learning and growth of members. Given the importance of productivity and learning, we ask how these processes can be supported in dynamic teams. We do so in a randomized controlled field experiment c...
• Shareholder Activism and the Deterrence Effect of Democratic Politician Shareholders AI翻译

  摘要：Firms strategically establish political connections in the hopes of obtaining access to resources and opportunities controlled by the state. However, little is known about benefits that may accrue to firms from ties with politician shareholders. We explore potential spillover benefits of such ties in the context of financially motivated shareholder activism (financial activism). Specifically, we examine whether financial activists are deterred from targeting firms owned by Democratic politicia...
• Mavericks and Diplomats: Bridging Commercial and Institutional Entrepreneurship for Society's Grand Challenges AI翻译

  摘要：Many of society's grand challenges, like access to education, improved public health, and building smart infrastructure, occur in established fields, often ones where noncommercial logics matter. Grounded in a theory-building study of two well-matched EdTech ventures in the nascent MOOC market in the U.S. higher education field, we unpack their strategy formation processes. These ventures faced the dual problem of forming a successful strategy in a nascent market while changing an established ...
• Can You Go Home Again? Performance Assistance Between Boomerangs and Incumbent Employees AI翻译

  摘要：Boomerangs, that is, rehires, should have advantages over other new hires when integrating into an organization due to their familiarity with the work context and their pre-existing relationships. However, research suggests that the effects of hiring boomerangs may not be straightforwardly positive. To better understand these effects, we investigate how boomerangs' social integration into a work team differs from that of other new hires due to their pre-existing relationships and how those rel...
• Do Boards Reward and Punish CEOs Based on Employee Satisfaction Ratings? AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate whether boards of directors reward and punish chief executive officers (CEOs) based on employee satisfaction ratings. Using data from Glassdoor, we find that CEOs tend to receive larger bonuses when employee satisfaction ratings increase. Similarly, we find a higher rate of CEO dismissal when employees become less satisfied. Further, we investigate three factors that may amplify the role of employee satisfaction ratings in CEO evaluations: the importance of employees to financia...
• A Model of CEO Succession Planning as a Risky Investment: Anticipated Costs, Uncertain Results, and Contingency Conditions AI翻译

  摘要：As a counterpoint to the prevailing normative view that CEO succession planning is universally wise, we develop a model of such endeavors as risky investments. Our model has three elements. First, we identify the potential costs of CEO succession planning, including opportunity costs associated with absorbing CEO and board attention, CEO-board conflict, and various forms of organizational disruption. Second, we identify and unpack the potential results of CEO succession planning, with explicit...
• Let Us Not Speak of Them, But Look and Pass? Organizational Responses to Online Reviews AI翻译

  摘要：In a world where five stars have become the standard for evaluating many transactions and consumers turn to the crowd for guidance when making a wide variety of choices, organizations cannot dismiss online reviews as inconsequential. And whereas we know a lot about how organizations respond to reviews online, there has been a lack of systematic evidence showing how organizations behave in response to online feedback once their screens are turned off. This paper leverages a novel combination of...
• Female Entrepreneurs Targeting Women: Strategic Redirection Under Scientific Decision-Making AI翻译
  作者：Gagliardi, Luisa; Novelli, Elena
  作者单位：Bocconi University; Bocconi University
  摘要：This paper explores whether and to what extent a scientific approach to decision-making can be a useful tool for helping entrepreneurs overcome limitations in the commercial exploitation of their idea, particularly when these limitations stem from their status as users of the products or services. Using data from a variety of sources, including three randomized control trials and LinkedIn data, and focusing on female entrepreneurs who develop a value proposition targeting female consumers as a...
• Atypicality and Accountability: Evidence from Five Experiments AI翻译

  摘要：This paper investigates the interactive effect of organizational atypicality and accountability on evaluation. Prior research has shown that audience members sometimes react positively and other times negatively to atypical organizations or that the main effect of atypicality is not always consistent. We seek to further advance our understanding of this inconsistency in the assessment of atypical organizations. To do so, we focus on accountability, defined as a person's expectation that they m...
• Does a Theory-of-Value Add Value? Evidence from a Randomized Control Trial with Tanzanian Entrepreneurs AI翻译

  摘要：Entrepreneurs making decisions under uncertainty are encouraged to evaluate their initial ideas through hypothesis testing, but entrepreneurial approaches vary in their emphasis on ex-ante theory development prior to collecting evidence. In this paper, we examine whether and how entrepreneurs benefit from adopting an evidence-based approach or a theory-and-evidence-based approach to decision making. We conducted a field experiment with Tanzanian agribusiness entrepreneurs by randomly assigning...
