• Learning by Contributing: Gaining Competitive Advantage Through Contribution to Crowdsourced Public Goods AI翻译
  作者：Nagle, Frank
  作者单位：University of Southern California
  摘要：As the economy becomes more information based, firms are increasingly using crowdsourced public goods as inputs for innovation and production. Counterintuitively, some firms pay their employees to contribute to the creation of these goods, which can be used freely by their competitors. This study argues that such firms learn by contributing as they receive feedback from the crowd of more experienced users and are therefore able to better capture value from using the goods. Data on firm contrib...
• No Firm Is an Island: The Role of Population-Level Actors in Organizational Learning from Failure AI翻译
  作者：Madsen, Peter M.; Desai, Vinit
  作者单位：Brigham Young University; University of Colorado System; University of Colorado Denver
  摘要：When a serious failure occurs within a population of organizations, members of individual organizations in the population attempt to learn vicariously from the event so that future failures may be avoided. This organization-level vicarious learning process has been extensively studied in the organizational learning literature. However, following a serious failure in one organization, a parallel process also plays out at the population level as population-level actors draw lessons from the fail...
• A Sociopolitical Perspective on Employee Innovativeness and Job Performance: The Role of Political Skill and Network Structure AI翻译

  摘要：We adopt a sociopolitical perspective to examine how an employee's political skill works in conjunction with social network structure to relate to the employee's innovation involvement and job performance. We find that employee innovation involvement mediates the relationship between political skill and job performance and that the number of structural holes employees have in their social network strengthens the positive relationship between political skill and employee innovation involvement....
• An Analysis of Organizational Structure in Process Variation AI翻译
  作者：Zhang, Dingyu; Bhuiyan, Nadia; Kong, Linghua
  作者单位：Concordia University - Canada; Fujian University of Technology
  摘要：In today's uncertain and dynamic market environment, the need for organizational structures that can respond to persistent improvement in organizational processes is more critical than ever. Current organizational studies emphasize categorized processes and structures, lacking any development of continuity in the temporal and spatial layers of environmental change. In this study, organizational structure is seen as varying according to departmentalization and assignment, whereas the process en...
• Manu Militari: The Institutional Contingencies of Stakeholder Relationships on Entrepreneurial Performance AI翻译
  作者：Hiatt, Shon R.; Carlos, W. Chad; Sine, Wesley D.
  作者单位：University of Southern California; Brigham Young University; Cornell University
  摘要：This study examines how ventures can leverage relationships with heterogeneous government stakeholders to enhance survival in different institutional environments. We consider how the distinct resources provided from venture ties to military and political actors represent complementary strategic assets that differentially influence performance in varying political and economic environments as well as under conditions of violence and political conflict. Empirically, we examine the effect of the...
• Minority Rules: Credible State Ownership and Investment Risk Around the World AI翻译
  作者：James, Barclay E.; Vaaler, Paul M.
  作者单位：Universidad San Francisco de Quito; University of Minnesota System; University of Minnesota Twin Cities; University of Minnesota System; University of Minnesota Twin Cities
  摘要：Research in management and related fields largely assumes that host-country state (state) ownership in investment projects raises risk for private coinvestors. We question that assumption in theorizing that minority state ownership may actually decrease investment risk in host countries where policy stability is low. Noncontrolling but still substantial state ownership signals to private coinvestors that states will maintain initial investment project terms yet limit interference in project ma...
• The Deep Historical Roots of Organization and Strategy: Traumatic Shocks, Culture, and Institutions AI翻译
  作者：Kluppel, Leonardo M.; Pierce, Lamar; Snyder, Jason A.
  作者单位：Washington University (WUSTL); Utah System of Higher Education; University of Utah
  摘要：We argue that organizations have deep roots in traumatic societal shocks that long preceded their founding. Drawing from the strategic management and social science literatures, we explain how traumatic shocks, such as conflict, disease, and natural disaster, can alter the institutional and cultural paths that determine future business environments. Historical shocks can help clarify the origin of cultural and institutional differences and help provide causal inference about why these differen...
• Optimal Distinctiveness in the Console Video Game Industry: An Exemplar-Based Model of Proto-Category Evolution AI翻译
  作者：Zhao, Eric Yanfei; Ishihara, Masakazu; Jennings, P. Devereaux; Lounsbury, Michael
  作者单位：Indiana University System; IU Kelley School of Business; Indiana University Bloomington; New York University; University of Alberta
  摘要：In this paper, we develop an exemplar-based model of the emergence and evolution of proto-categories-new groupings of products that are only weakly entrenched but have the potential to become widely institutionalized-and examine how different positioning strategies of new entrants vis-a-vis the exemplar of a proto-category affect entrant performance. Empirically, we study the U.S. console video game industry where proto-categories frequently emerge and evolve around exemplary hit games. Analyz...
• Social Media and the Development of Shared Cognition: The Roles of Network Expansion, Content Integration, and Triggered Recalling AI翻译
  作者：Leonardi, Paul M.
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Santa Barbara
  摘要：This study explores whether employees who have access to social media are more likely than employees who do not to develop shared cognition-similar perceptions of what and whom coworkers know. It also uncovers the behaviors associated with social media that allow employees to develop such shared cognition about their co-workers' knowledge and social structures. I conducted a multimethodological, longitudinal field study of the use of one type of social media-a social networking site-by employe...
• Meta-Organization Formation and Sustainability in Sub-Saharan Africa AI翻译
  作者：Valente, Mike; Oliver, Christine
  作者单位：York University - Canada
  摘要：In response to recent calls for theory to predict and explain the phenomenon of meta-organizations, we set out to identify the causes of their formation. Using a cross-case comparison of multiple case studies in sub-Saharan Africa, where nine focal firms varied in their response to the complexities of sustainability, we examined how and why some firms approached sustainability through a meta-organization while others did not. Our findings show that meta-organizations may be an effective means ...
