摘要:Research SummaryCorporate scandals often create moral struggles for ecosystem stakeholders who collaborate with scandal-tainted firms on mutually beneficial projects. We examine how these stakeholders navigate their relationships with such firms. Drawing on cognitive dissonance theory, we posit that stakeholders typically withdraw from such collaborations after a scandal. However, if stakeholders continue their engagement, they tend to emphasize the importance of collaborative projects and cou...

摘要:Research SummaryThis study examines how immigrant CEOs influence the geography of multinational enterprises' (MNEs) corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) incidents. Building on place attachment theory and social capital theory, we theorize that immigrant CEOs have strong psychological attachment to and social capital in their homeland countries, which could reduce the occurrence and media disclosure of their MNEs' CSI incidents in those countries. Moreover, this effect will be further enhanc...

摘要:Research SummaryThis article analyzes how innovation country-of-origin impacts the decisions of multinational corporations (MNCs) to defend their patents against infringement in foreign countries. We argue that MNCs have stronger incentives to defend their locally generated innovations (in foreign countries) than their home- or third-country generated innovations (that have been transferred to foreign countries) because of the higher risk for knowledge spillovers for locally generated innovati...

摘要:Research SummaryIn emerging industries characterized by several technological generations giving rise to multiple submarkets that emerge at different points in time, start-ups entering with novel technologies encounter markets at varying development stages and are confronted with the choice to enter either a nascent or an established market. We study the solar photovoltaic industry between 1985 and 2017 to examine how founders' pre-entry experience along the industry value chain helps them nav...

摘要:Research SummaryWe examine the comparative governance of for-profit provision of public services, distinguishing between two types of for-profit providers: investor-owned firms (IOFs) and cooperatives. We argue that because cooperatives are owned and operated by those who benefit directly from the positive externalities generated by public services they are well suited to serving poor or high cost communities that may be underserved by IOFs, and that this will be especially true when they serv...

摘要:Research SummaryCorporate social performance depends not only on a firm's behavior but also on the behavior of its suppliers. What management strategies improve the social performance of suppliers? Scholarship on inter-firm relations and regulatory governance debates the efficacy of threatening to penalize suppliers, compared with more cooperative approaches. This study uses a regression discontinuity design to estimate the causal effects of typical actions to manage supplier social performanc...

摘要:Research SummaryWe present novel theoretical arguments suggesting that the contraction of international market presence does not only allow firms to expand their presence into new business domains, but also to resume their international market presence in the long term. We argue that when firms contract their international market presence, they spark two subsequent processes: First, they free up non-scale free financial resources that become available for expanding into new business domains. S...

摘要:Research SummaryUnderstanding the antecedents and consequences of executive turnover is an important topic in strategy research. Yet, due to limitations in data availability, we know little about the turnover and dismissal of executives beyond the CEO. To address this, we develop an open access database on CFO turnover and dismissal-given the unique interface CFOs form with CEOs as strategic partners-in S&P 1500 firms between 2000 and 2022. We search for media documentation of CFO turnover eve...

摘要:Research SummaryManagers draw on their informal networks of peers outside of their firm to better understand uncertain markets and help their firms adapt. This helps firms enhance their performance in information environments characterized by idiosyncratic and difficult-to-standardize soft information. However, in information environments characterized by standardized hard information, joint discussions facilitated by informal networks can make managers and their firms maladaptive towards unce...
