• Why Are Firms Rigid? A General Framework and Empirical Tests AI翻译

  摘要：We present a general framework for understanding why firms are slow to make major strategic changes in a wide range of empirical settings. We then apply this framework to investigate, more specifically, the relationship between firm age and scope in hedge funds. Our empirical analyses demonstrate that younger hedge funds outperform older hedge funds both before and after the launch of a new fund. Based on our framework, these results suggest that age-based rigidity in hedge funds is more attri...
• Choosing the Company You Keep: Racial Relational Demography Outside and Inside of Work AI翻译
  作者：Wilk, Steffanie L.; Makarius, Erin E.

  摘要：Individuals can differ on demographic characteristics, such as race, from those with whom they interact. This relational demography can lead to poor affiliative outcomes at work when individuals are assigned to work together. However, relationships between dissimilar individuals that occur by choice and develop naturally over time may be of higher quality than those that occur due to structural causes, such as being put together in a work group. In this study, we focus on racial dissimilarity ...
• Forgotten Third Parties: Analyzing the Contingent Association Between Unshared Third Parties, Knowledge Overlap, and Knowledge Transfer Relationships with Outsiders AI翻译

  摘要：Third parties play a prominent role in network-based explanations for successful knowledge transfer. Third parties can be either shared or unshared. Shared third parties signal insider status and have a predictable positive effect on knowledge transfer. Unshared third parties, however, signal outsider status and are believed to undermine knowledge transfer. Surprisingly, unshared third parties have been ignored in empirical analysis, and so we do not know if or how much unshared third parties ...
• Intraorganizational Network Dynamics in Times of Ambiguity AI翻译
  作者：Srivastava, Sameer B.
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Berkeley
  摘要：Contrary to the assumption of relational inertia that is prevalent in much of the research on organizational change, I propose that intraorganizational networks are instead subject to transitory shifts when organizational change produces high levels of ambiguity for employees. I develop a theoretical account of how networks defined by formal, semiformal, and informal organizational structure change in response to heightened ambiguity. I argue that, when ambiguity increases, people will tend to...
• International Search Behavior of Business Group Affiliated Firms: Scope of Institutional Changes and Intragroup Heterogeneity AI翻译
  作者：Gubbi, Sathyajit R.; Aulakh, Preet S.; Ray, Sougata

  摘要：This paper investigates whether and when affiliation to business groups enables or constrains firms' international search behavior during institutional transitions. We theorize that given the unique structure and complex form of business group organizations, the search behavior of affiliated firms is influenced by the degree of (mis) alignment in outlook at the group and affiliate levels of management. We identify the scope of institutional changes, business group attributes, and affiliate cha...
• The Persistence of Lenient Market Categories AI翻译
  作者：Pontikes, Elizabeth G.; Barnett, William P.
  作者单位：University of Chicago; Stanford University
  摘要：Research across disciplines presumes that market categories will have strong boundaries. Categories without well-defined boundaries typically are not useful and so are expected to fade away. We suggest many contexts contain lenient market categories, or less-constraining market categories, that persist and become important. We argue that this fact can be explained by looking at market categories from the producer perspective. Lenient market categories have more flexibility and allow for a wide...
• Oppositional Product Names, Organizational Identities, and Product Appeal AI翻译
  作者：Verhaal, J. Cameron; Khessina, Olga M.; Dobrev, Stanislav D.

  摘要：At their core, markets are exchange structures between producers and consumers, and products are a key element that connects them together. Many new markets emerge in direct ideological opposition to incumbent industries. Yet, the ways in which ideology affects products in oppositional markets are not well understood. We propose that when audiences cannot easily differentiate between products based on physical attributes, they rely on ideological discourse about the production process. We argu...
• Following Doctors' Orders: Organizational Change as a Response to Human Capital Bargaining Power AI翻译
  作者：Brown, Jill A.; Gianiodis, Peter T.; Santoro, Michael D.
  作者单位：Bentley University; Clemson University; Lehigh University
  摘要：Organizational change is facilitated by both internal and external factors, yet little is known about how they might be linked. Through a case study of one hospital's change from a nonprofit to a nonprofit/for-profit organizational structure, we find that human capital bargaining power is a key mechanism that integrates internal and external drivers of change. However, a paradox surfaces whereby the strength of the bargaining power can force structural changes that may be counterproductive. Ou...
• Change Escalation Processes and Complex Adaptive Systems: From Incremental Reconfigurations to Discontinuous Restructuring AI翻译
  作者：Girod, Stephane J. G.; Whittington, Richard
  作者单位：University of Reading; University of Oxford
  摘要：This study examines when incremental change is likely to trigger discontinuous change, using the lens of complex adaptive systems theory. Going beyond the simulations and case studies through which complex adaptive systems have been approached so far, we study the relationship between incremental organizational reconfigurations and discontinuous organizational restructurings using a large-scale database of U.S. Fortune 50 industrial corporations. We develop two types of escalation process in o...
• Biased Perceptions of Racially Diverse Teams and Their Consequences for Resource Support AI翻译
  作者：Lount, Robert B., Jr.; Sheldon, Oliver J.; Rink, Floor; Phillips, Katherine W.
  作者单位：University System of Ohio; Ohio State University; Rutgers University System; Rutgers University Newark; Rutgers University New Brunswick; University of Groningen; Columbia University
  摘要：We examine whether observers hold biases that can negatively affect how racially diverse teams are evaluated, and ultimately treated, relative to racially homogeneous groups. In three experiments, which held the actual content of observed behavior constant across diverse and homogeneous teams, observers were less willing to allocate additional resources to diverse teams. Through applying both statistical mediation (Studies 1 and 2) and moderation-of-process methods (Study 3), our findings supp...
