摘要：Prior research about the interaction between private firms and the scientific community has largely viewed firms' articles in scientific publications as a means to improve research and development productivity by encouraging their researchers to publish scientific papers, firms can maintain linkages with the scientific community, attract talent, and access external knowledge on which they can build to create innovations. This paper, in contrast, emphasizes the role of scientific publications i...

摘要：Two studies examined how managers' pay decisions for male and female employees are affected by the opportunity to provide social accounts and how managers think about the value of accounts for men versus women. I theorized that managers would treat social accounts as substitutes for pay for women but not for men, paradoxically leading managers who could behave more procedurally fairly to create gender-based distributive injustice. Study 1 confirms this hypothesis. Practicing managers who learn...

摘要：This paper extends the contextual perspective of network evolution to account for a more complete process of network evolution by showing that the impacts of fads and fashions on the formation and dissolution of interorganizational networks are asymmetric. Building on contact theory, this paper proposes that direct contact affords a flow of knowledge that counters tendencies to social conformity. Network dissolution differs from network formation in that partners have already obtained direct i...

摘要：The extensive academic literature on innovation has long recognized product users as a potentially important source of ideas. Although prior work has primarily focused on understanding the unique motivations and knowledge that allow users to generate their own innovations, we extend existing theory to investigate the contribution of users to corporate invention. We draw on the knowledge-based view of the firm, evolutionary theory, and the user innovation literature to theorize that corporate i...

摘要：This paper investigates whether and how going public affects firm innovation. I propose that initial public offerings (IPOs) fundamentally reshape core organizational structures and processes, and I consider implications for firms' overall innovative productivity and their exploratory search strategies. Using longitudinal data on U.S. medical device firms funded by venture capital and inverse probability of treatment weights to account for self-selection into IPOs and the presence of time-depe...

摘要：What explains organizational search and choice when multiple opportunities are available to the decision makers? Drawing on the behavioral view of the firm, and on the attention-based view, this study proposes a theoretical model centered on the opportunity prospects rule to explain market expansion, defined as the extent (how many) and the selection (which) of multiple available opportunities that are actually pursued by competing firms. We test our model using longitudinal, fine-grained data...

摘要：In this paper, we attempt to reconcile contingency and institutional fit approaches concerning the organization-environment relationship. Whereas prior scholarly research has examined both theories and compared their impacts on organizational fit and performance, we lay the groundwork for a metafit approach by investigating how contingency and institutional fit interact to influence firm performance. We test our theoretical framework using a data set of 3,259 respondents from 1,904 companies, ...

摘要：This paper develops and tests a multilevel organizational contingency theory for designing headquarters-subsidiary relations. We use frontier analysis to overcome problems that have hampered advancements in organizational contingency theory in general and headquarters-subsidiary relationships in particular. Based on a longitudinal study of a large medical group practice of 32 local community clinics, we compute the relative distance of clinics from a best-performance frontier, determine what p...

摘要：This paper uses a practice perspective to study coordinating as dynamic activities that are continuously created and modified in order to enact organizational relationships and activities. It is based on the case of Servico, an organization undergoing a major restructuring of its value chain in response to a change in government regulation. In our case, the actors iterate between the abstract concept of a coordinating mechanism referred to as end-to-end management and its performance in practi...
