• Striking Out Swinging: Specialist Success Following Forced Task Inferiority AI翻译
  作者：Bond, Brittany; Poskanzer, Ethan

  摘要：Organizing work around specialized professionals leverages their deep expertise and mastery of particular skills. However, as work becomes more flexible, organizations often require specialists to perform some work outside their specialization. These tasks, which distance specialists from the area of their greatest contribution, could diminish their performance by being distracting or tiring or by creating negative comparisons with others who are more proficient in that work. Contrary to these...

  摘要：Prior research has identified the value of reconnecting dormant ties (i.e., people you used to know), allowing individuals to refresh relationships and mobilize the value inherent in a tie (i.e., its social capital). However, less well understood is how this reconnection process occurs, including how it can be done well or poorly. To address this lack of knowledge, we conducted multi-organizational research combining an inductive, qualitative field study of professional reconnections by indivi...
• The Corporate Opportunity Structure for Shareholder Activism: How Activist Hedge Funds Exploit Board Demographic Diversity AI翻译
  作者：DesJardine, Mark R.; Shi, Wei; Marti, Emilio

  摘要：Inspired by research on social movements, we extend the idea that activists look for opportunities to target firms to the realm of financially motivated shareholder activists. Focusing on activist hedge funds, we argue that hedge fund campaigns are more likely to succeed when boards are slow and less united and that, compared with more homogeneous boards, demographically diverse boards tend to act more slowly and with less unity. Although these attributes make demographically diverse boards mo...
• Do Lower-Power Individuals Really Compete Less? An Investigation of Covert Competition AI翻译
  作者：Zhong, Yufei; Li, Huisi (Jessica)

  摘要：Competition is one of the defining features of organizational life. In this research, we identify a prevalent but overlooked type of competition-covert competition, which we define as behaviors with the intention to win (i.e., advancing one's interest/position while disregarding or hurting the other party's interest/position) that are unclear to or hidden from the other party. We argue that one's relative power in dyadic social relationships influences covert competition. Based on the theory o...
• Time Is Not Money! Temporal Preferences for Time Investments and Entry into Entrepreneurship AI翻译
  作者：Gutierrez, Cedric; Sloof, Randolph; Crilly, Donal

  摘要：Starting a business requires investing both money and time in the hope of future financial benefits. Because investments and potential gains happen over time, the way in which individuals value the future relative to the present-that is, their temporal preferences-may be an important driver behind the decision to become an entrepreneur. Whereas existing research examines temporal preferences for financial gains, we advance this research by theorizing about temporal preferences not only for mon...
• Legitimating Illegitimate Practices: How Data Analysts Compromised Their Standards to Promote Quantification AI翻译
  作者：Stice-Lusvardi, Ryan; Hinds, Pamela J.; Valentine, Melissa
  作者单位：Stanford University
  摘要：Prior studies that examine how new expertise becomes integrated into organizations have shown that different occupations work to legitimate their new expertise to develop credibility and deference from other organizational groups. In this study, we similarly examine the work that an expert occupation did to legitimate their expertise; however, in this case, they were legitimating practices that they actually considered illegitimate. We report findings from our 20-month ethnography of data anal...
• Learning Strategic Representations: Exploring the Effects of Taking a Strategy Course AI翻译
  作者：Heshmati, Mana; Csaszar, Felipe A.
  作者单位：University of Washington; University of Washington Seattle; University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：Despite the popularity of strategy courses and the fact that managers make consequential decisions using ideas they learn in such courses, few studies examine the learning outcomes of taking a strategy course-a research gap most likely the result of the methodological challenges of measuring these outcomes in realistic ways. This paper provides a large-sample study of what individuals learn from taking a strategy course and how those learning outcomes depend on individual characteristics. We e...
• A Temporal Perspective on Boundary Spanning: Engagement Dynamics and Implications for Knowledge Transfer AI翻译
  作者：Zobel, Ann-Kristin; Falcke, Lukas; Comello, Stephen D.
  作者单位：University of St Gallen; Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; Stanford University
  摘要：This study adopts a temporal perspective to investigate how boundary spanners can increase the inflow of external knowledge by engaging with both external and internal parties. We add to prior work on knowledge transfer by shifting the focus from engagement levels to investigating engagement dynamics, especially the degree of switching between external and internal engagement across consecutive time periods. Drawing from a cognitive perspective, we argue that switching strongly between engagem...
• Inverted Apprenticeship: How Senior Occupational Members Develop Practical Expertise and Preserve Their Position When New Technologies Arrive AI翻译
  作者：Beane, Matthew; Anthony, Callen
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Santa Barbara; New York University
  摘要：New technologies create a dilemma for senior members of occupations. Traditionally, practical expertise and position are considered correlates, yet when new technologies arrive, they may be knocked out of alignment. This means that senior members must develop new expertise lest their position be threatened. However, because position often signifies expertise, developing new practical expertise may be challenging. Indeed, senior members face strong pressures not to appear to nor actually devote...
• When Funders Aren't Customers: Reputation Management and Capability Underinvestment in Multiaudience Organizations AI翻译
  作者：Keith, David; Taylor, Lauren; Paine, James; Weisbach, Richard; Dowidowicz, Anthony
  作者单位：Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); Harvard University
  摘要：In contrast with for-profit companies, many multiaudience organizations, such as universities, hospitals, and nonprofits, receive revenues not just from customers but from third-party funders. This distinction is most stark in donative nonprofits that receive all of their funding from noncustomers and have long been perceived to underper-form because of persistent underinvestment in organizational capabilities. In this paper, we explore how the need to manage funder perceptions influences how ...
