摘要：Sustaining innovation is a vital yet difficult task. Innovation requires the coordinated efforts of many actors to facilitate ( 1) the recombination of ideas to generate novelty, ( 2) real-time problem solving, and ( 3) linkages between present innovation efforts with past experiences and future aspirations. We propose that innovation narratives are cultural mechanisms that address these coordination requirements by enabling translation. Specifically, innovation narratives are powerful mechani...

摘要：As individuals change jobs more frequently, it is increasingly important to understand what they carry from their prior work experience that affects their performance in a new organizational context. So far, explanations about the imperfect portability of experience have primarily been about firm specificity of knowledge and skill. We draw on psychological theory to propose additional sociocognitive factors that interfere with the transfer of knowledge and skill acquired from prior related wor...

摘要：We consider the role that resource variation plays in affecting a firm's market entry decision. Resource variation, represented by amplitude, frequency, and unpredictability of change in market demand, has been shown to affect organizations' decisions and life chances, but there is little evidence of the effect of variation on entry decisions. We hypothesize that resource variation in a market reduces entry but that not all firms are equally deterred by variation. In particular, firm experienc...

摘要：The difficulties of managing and coordinating operations as firms expand are expected to increase disproportionately with firm size. If firms face such diseconomies of managing, then acquisitions should make the combined entity more difficult to manage than the two entities operating independently. To document the existence of diseconomies of managing in acquisitions, we examine the change in civil lawsuit judgments involving acquired firms pre- and postacquisition. Civil lawsuit judgments can...

摘要：This paper introduces emotional aperture, defined as the ability to recognize the composition of diverse emotions in a collective (e. g., group or business unit). We develop the thesis that a leader's ability to respond effectively to patterns of shared emotions that arise during strategic change and other emotionally turbulent organizational processes depends on the leader's ability to use emotional aperture. Additionally, we describe key cultural, psychological, and contextual enablers and i...

摘要：This article investigates how Indian pharmaceutical firms, facing discontinuous institutional changes in their domestic environment due to economic liberalization and intellectual property reforms, have undertaken organizational transformation. Internationalization of resources and product markets constitutes an important component of organizational transformation for local firms in emerging economies. Using longitudinal data on 206 Indian pharmaceutical firms from 1995-2004, we find that firm...

摘要：We maintain that human resources are strategically significant in at least three cases, when these resources ( 1) help create traditional Ricardian rents; ( 2) function as components of organizational capabilities that generate nontraditional Ricardian rents; and ( 3) are the source of technological and managerial innovations that produce entrepreneurial rents. Human resource management ( HRM) activities, on the other hand, assume strategic significance by supporting the three cases above thro...

摘要：Why do some practices not spread? Although this is an important question for both diffusion theorists and those interested in institutional change, we know surprisingly little about the limitations on diffusion because most diffusion studies sample on successful diffusion. I address the question of why some practices fail to spread by introducing the concept of a deviance discount. A deviance discount is a systematic downgrading of the observed adoption performance of controversial practices, ...

摘要：This study investigates characteristics that affect the relationship between firms' positions in a network of collaborative ties with other firms and their performance. Firms located in similarly structured networks rich in structural holes may obtain different performance results depending on their ( 1) capacity to absorb heterogeneous information, ( 2) ability to protect against partner noncooperation, and ( 3) bargaining power. In this paper, I argue that firms with a wide scope of experien...
