摘要：Research Summary: We study how autonomous Emergency Medical Service (EMS) teams prioritize competing financial and social goals during 9-1-1 calls. Prior research highlights organization-level solutions that enable singlegoal pursuit, but it remains unclear how frontline professionals manage competing goals that are interdependent and inseparable during task execution. We argue EMS teams will dynamically prioritize goals across calls depending on contextual factors. Using quasi-random assignme...

摘要：Research SummaryFor endogenous shaping to be recognized as an evolutionary process that helps explain the co-evolution of firms and their environment, theories on shaping need to provide a direct link between the endogenously introduced modifications and the evolutionary trajectory of actors in the industry. Integrating insights from the sensemaking literature into the evolutionary perspective on shaping, we establish this link and identify evolutionary feedback-the response of market actors t...

摘要：Research SummaryThe impact of political connections on firm innovation remains unclear. Utilizing the unexpected removal of high-ranking officials during China's anti-corruption campaigns between 1999 and 2015 as an exogenous shock, we analyze this relationship to provide greater clarity. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we find that firms that experience unexpected loss of political connections file significantly more patent applications than those that do not experience such d...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how the structure of ecosystems shapes firms' acquisition choices. We develop a theoretical framework comprising three levels of ecosystem structure - local interdependence, clusters, and centrality - that could drive choices of M&A targets based on expected ecosystem synergies, a previously undocumented acquisition synergy that creates benefits for the acquirer and the ecosystem overall. Ecosystem synergy is value created through combination of the acquirer and tar...

摘要：Research SummaryThis study explores why and how founders' values lead them to design novel business models. To address these questions, we conducted a historical case study of Magnum Photos, a photo agency whose novel business model revolutionized magazine photography in the mid-20th century. Our abductive analysis reveals that personal values can be a principal driving force for business model innovation (BMI). Actors who believe that their personal values are difficult to reconcile with exis...

摘要：Research SummaryChief executive officer (CEO) political activism is increasing, but its strategic implications remain unclear. We conduct two survey-based experiments to shed light on how individuals respond to CEO activism. We differentiate between communicating an apolitical stance versus saying nothing - an unexplored distinction to date. We furthermore examine whether characteristics which could influence perceived credibility of the stance - whether it is consistent with expectations and ...

摘要：Research Summary Strategic management research often uses accounting data, despite well-known concerns that earnings management could obscure the link between actual and measured performance. We apply methods from the econometric literature on bunching to estimate that around 15 percent of firm-year observations in Compustat manipulate accounting earnings to achieve profitability. We show that cash-based performance measures are less susceptible to manipulation and that the choice of accrual v...

摘要：Research SummarySelf-regulation is often proposed as a substitute for government regulation. We examine a setting in which a subset of firms voluntarily committed to transparency standards despite immediate competitive disadvantages, not merely to preempt regulation but to succeed under future mandatory rules they helped enact through lobbying. Focusing on the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), an anti-corruption multi-stakeholder initiative, we show that firms initially inc...

摘要：Research SummaryFraming is critical for leaders who must build support for strategic renewal. While research has concentrated on renewal that replaces one set of capabilities with another, we explore a distinctive challenge: how leaders persuade stakeholders to endorse the reprioritization of resources toward a capability set that must coexist with an existing one. Moreover, while research has focused on how leaders build employee support for renewal, we examine how to persuade those overseein...

摘要：Research Summary This paper examines the extent and determinants of internal agglomeration-the spatial clustering of establishments within firms. It introduces a novel methodology that benchmarks a firm's spatial footprint against that of comparable stand-alone firms, yielding a firm-level measure of internal agglomeration. Applied across sectors of the U.S. economy, the approach reveals that internal agglomeration is widespread but varies by industry and firm characteristics. It is more preva...
