摘要:It is widely believed that university and corporate research are complementary: companies invest in research in part to develop the capacity to absorb the knowledge emerging from universities. However, as we show in this paper, corporate research in the United States emerged when American universities were behind the world frontier in scientific research. Why, then, did for-profit businesses choose to invest in creating new knowledge, much of which could spill over to rivals, and whose conduct...

摘要:Workplace relationships are a necessary and critical component of being able to perform one's job and advance in one's career. The personal and professional resources required for navigating relationships with dissimilar work colleagues can be particularly costly for those in minority groups who are most often different from their relational partners. Drawing from interviews conducted with Black women executives, we examined how these women experience relational triggers that emphasize their d...

摘要:Empirical laws and regularities, such as Klepper's shakeout pattern for industry evolution or Gibrat's law for firm size, have shaped our understanding of organizations. Despite decades of research into profit patterns, no such widely applicable empirical regularities have been found for the dependent variable of strategy: long-term value capture. This study reports the discovery of a simple law governing this variable's distribution. A four-parameter normal log-normal (NLN) mixture distributi...

摘要:We develop a unified framework to examine the implications of two primary approaches to strategic decision making under uncertainty: designing and shaping future scenarios vis-a`-vis testing theories about future scenarios. We conducted a three-arm randomized controlled trial involving 308 early stage entrepreneurs, dividing them into three groups-design-based training, theory-based training, and a control group-and tracked them over approximately 1.5 years. Our findings reveal that both appro...

摘要:How do firms overcome the challenge of absorbing distant knowledge? Scholars argue that organizations need knowledge that is distant from their existing knowledge base to create novel innovative output, whereas others argue, in contrast, that organizations need knowledge to be similar to the firm's knowledge base in order to absorb it. We argue that organizations can improve their ability to identify and comprehend knowledge from a distant knowledge category through learning associations made ...

摘要:Organizations and the decision makers within them are increasingly subject to inconsistent performance feedback-feedback that contains elements that are incompatible with each other-which can lead to multiple interpretations of performance feedback. When this occurs, decision makers often recode inconsistent performance feedback as successful and continue with their current strategies, which allows them to avoid any self-threat from negative elements of performance feedback but implies that th...
