摘要：Drawing on the Coase theorem, we consider a firm's decision to transfer patent ownership to another firm in the markets for innovation. We deem that the proximity of a patent's technology structure to that of a firm's patent portfolio will generally result in greater marginal productivity of the patent, leading to enhanced prospects for the firm's economic return. We thus predict that firms are more likely to trade patents when the technology structure of a patent is closer to the technology s...

Prior research suggests that interorganizational trust develops when the trustor has adequate confidence in the reliability of the trustee's services.

Yet platfor...

Yet, segmentation may, ironically, support the ideal worker image and reinforce the persistence of overwork. Drawing on two-year-long ethnographic studies of yoga teacher training, this paper considers how individuals shift how they manag...

In this study, we investigate the factors that lead managers to choose resou...

摘要：One of entrepreneurs' key tasks is mobilizing resources from external resource holders. Although we know how entrepreneurial ventures gain initial access to resources, we do not yet fully understand how they maintain their resource mobilization, particularly in the face of potential threats. During our 11-month study of prosocial ventures that emerged to alleviate the suffering of refugees in Germany, four attacks on the European public occurred that were allegedly committed by refugees. These...
