• Three Facets of Organizational Adaptation: Selection, Variety, and Plasticity AI翻译
  作者：Levinthal, Daniel A.; Marino, Alessandro

  摘要：When considering the adaptive dynamics of organizations, it is important to account for the full set of adaptive mechanisms, including not only the possibility of learning and adaptation of a given behavior but also the internal selection over some population of routines and behaviors. In developing such a conceptual framework, it is necessary to distinguish between the underlying stable roots of behavior and the possibly adaptive expression of those underlying templates. Selection occurs over...
• Kingpins, Bottlenecks, and Value Dynamics Along a Sector AI翻译

  摘要：This paper explores the dynamics of value distribution within a sector, using data on the U.S. computer industry as an illustration. It provides exploratory quantitative evidence for the way in which conditions within the segments of a sector's value chain affect the profitability of those segments compared with the sector as a whole. To consider how value shifts from one part of the sector (such as computer assemblers) to another (such as software and microprocessor makers), we look at how co...
• Technology Shocks, Technological Collaboration, and Innovation Outcomes AI翻译
  作者：Schilling, Melissa A.

  摘要：In the early to mid-1990s, technology alliances suddenly surged to unprecedented levels-roughly 300% growth per year from 1990 to 1995-and then declined just as precipitously. This massive increase in alliance activity caused the crystallization of a giant component in the global technology network that connected a large portion of the world's firms, government labs, universities, and other organizations. However, when alliance activity declined, the component disintegrated. What caused this s...
• Delegation Within Hierarchies: How Information Processing and Knowledge Characteristics Influence the Allocation of Formal and Real Decision Authority AI翻译

  摘要：We investigate trade-offs associated with delegating authority over multiple interrelated decisions in a complex task structure. The empirical setting is a business process of a global Fortune 50 firm. The firm decentralized its organization and redefined decision authority across organizational hierarchies between 2008 and 2011. We employ regression analysis of microlevel data on the allocation of decision authority between formal and real authority, and further on the organization design of ...
• Categorical Stigma and Firm Disengagement: Nuclear Power Generation in the United States, 1970-2000 AI翻译
  作者：Piazza, Alessandro; Perretti, Fabrizio
  作者单位：Columbia University; Bocconi University
  摘要：How do organizations react to stakeholder disapproval of a category to which they belong? In this paper, we draw on the categorization, stigma, and identity literatures in building a theory to predict whether firms that are involved in stigmatized activities will choose to reduce or terminate their involvement in them, as opposed to resorting to less drastic measures such as defensive practice adoption or impression management techniques. Conceptualizing groups of organizations involved in suc...
• Will a Second Mouse Get the Cheese? Learning from Early Entrants' Failures in a Foreign Market AI翻译

  摘要：We examine the conditions that can facilitate or hinder the effectiveness with which a new entrant learns from the failures of prior entrants by analyzing the experiences of 822 Japanese subsidiaries in China founded between 1979 and 2000. Our conceptual arguments and empirical findings demonstrate that learning from the failure experiences of prior entrants increases a new entrant's survival chances when entering China. Further, we find that the value of this learning is less effective when t...
• Greenwash vs. Brownwash: Exaggeration and Undue Modesty in Corporate Sustainability Disclosure AI翻译
  作者：Kim, Eun-Hee; Lyon, Thomas P.
  作者单位：George Washington University; University of Michigan System; University of Michigan
  摘要：Corporate greenwashing has accelerated in recent years, bringing in its wake growing skepticism about corporate green claims. Although a theory of the drivers and deterrents of greenwashing has begun to emerge, it is static in nature and does not incorporate the full range of ways in which firms can misrepresent their environmental performance. Our contribution is threefold. First, we extend the theory of organizational information disclosure to incorporate the possibility of undue modesty abo...
