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 single-goal 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 SummaryResearch underscores the importance of innovation ecosystems-or the larger group of firms producing components and complements-to the ability of focal firms to create value with an innovation. However, how ecosystems emerge and evolve remains unexplored. In a question-based examination of the solar photovoltaic ecosystem, we observe that ecosystems emerge earlier than predicted through the transfer of ecosystem elements, in a process of re-specialization, and ecosystem roles fr...

摘要：Research SummaryA key strategic challenge is balancing exploration and exploitation. When individuals' exploration activity is guided by problemistic search, should managers encourage high aspirations? Past work has shown that optimal aspiration (the aspiration level that leads to the highest level of performance in the long run) is lower in more turbulent environments. This past work assumes that aspirations are specified as absolute performance, but search is often triggered by performance s...

摘要：Research SummaryMakerspaces are physical spaces that offer individuals fabrication tools and materials (e.g., 3D printers) to make artifacts. Although not designed specifically for entrepreneurs, these spaces offer affordable access to rapid prototyping infrastructure. This study examines whether makerspaces affect entrepreneurship and, if so, who, how, and when. Leveraging hand-collected data on US makerspaces and large archival data on Kickstarter projects, I show that makerspaces positively...

摘要：Research Summary This study elucidates the previously underexplored structural heterogeneity inherent in multinational corporations' (MNCs) internal linkages by examining the concentration of cross-border collaborations among inventors within host countries. Building on the boundary spanning literature, we develop a two-stage framework identifying the knowledge distortion mechanism arising from this concentration: information overload in the cross-country knowledge absorption stage and long tr...

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 SummaryThis article advances the understanding of alliance instability by integrating organizational stigma and signaling theories to explain unplanned alliance dissolution after potentially stigmatizing adverse events. We highlight the media as a key intermediary influencing whether partners stick together or break apart. We also argue that firm status and external corporate governance serve as signals that key stakeholders interpret differently, that is, amplifying media vilificatio...

摘要：Research SummaryWe examined whether or not directors' prior experiences with Chief Executive Officer (CEO) selection helps them to choose a higher-performing CEO. Using S&P 1500 firms from 1999 to 2020, we found that boards' prior experiences with hiring CEOs do not improve their ability to choose a higher-performing CEO; rather, their prior CEO selection experience has a small but consistent negative effect. At the same time, we found little evidence that the domain specificity of prior CEO s...
