摘要:Research SummaryRacial disparities in entrepreneurship have been widely discussed in the literature, with most studies focusing on mechanisms that amplify such disparities. However, less attention has been devoted to factors that promote inclusion. We propose that intrapreneurship-launching and operating new ventures inside established organizations-represents a more inclusive entrepreneurial pathway than entrepreneurship involving a standalone venture. We predict that relative to White employ...

摘要:Research Summary: We compare the efficacy of two broad approaches to entrepreneurship training: a training prioritizing demand-side activities versus a training prioritizing resource-side activities. We do so by running a field experiment inside a 6-month entrepreneurship program involving 236 early-stage entrepreneurs. Inspired by our training, the first group invested more time interacting with potential customers and developing a deep understanding of customer needs and problems. The other ...

摘要:Research Summary Acqui-hires are now a prevalent strategic mechanism by which firms obtain talented human resources. They differ from traditional acquisitions in that they are always integrated and the focus is the people, not the product or service. Thus, how firms reconfigure through the redeployment and retention of acqui-hired human resources during post-acquisition integration is particularly critical. We find that when the acquired start-up has disruptive (vs. nondisruptive) know-how, th...

摘要:Research Summary We investigate the extent to which the increasing availability of ratings information has affected heterogeneity in firm performance and, if so, what market segments are responsible for these changes. A unique dataset was constructed with restricted-access government data to examine these questions in the context of the New York City restaurant industry between 1994 and 2013. We find that firms serving tourist and expensive price point market segments experienced increasing sa...

摘要:Research Summary: We develop the following typology of four types of acquisition synergies by integrating the multisidedness feature of digital platforms with the mainstream strategy research: complementary-technology-side economies of scope, complementary-technology-side economies of scale, user-side economies of scope, and user-side economies of scale. We show that (1) acquisition synergies are entry-deterring, (2) synergies derived from economies of scope have stronger effects than those de...

摘要:Research SummaryWhile previous organizational impression mnagement (OIM) research focuses on highlighting firms in a favorable light, we explore CEOs' use of strategic negativity to manage expectations. We draw on OIM's psychological roots to predict that despite pressure to be positive, when CEOs perceive stakeholders are motivated to raise their expectations and have an opportunity to do so, CEOs strategically use negativity to counteract this anticipated expectation increase. We test our pr...

摘要:Research SummaryThis study investigates how people connecting with brokers who span structural holes in a firm's communication networks can enhance their innovative performance. Through sociometric data from a large software company, we observe that individuals who pay attention to information from brokers achieve higher innovative performance compared with those who ignore such information. The advantage of paying attention to brokers' information is more pronounced when people operate in hig...

摘要:Research SummaryResearch on industry evolution highlights the role of knowledge-building activities of startups and established firms in shaping knowledge evolution in a nascent industry. Yet, research thus far has overlooked the possibility that differences between startups and established firms might also shape the diffusion of the knowledge that they build. This study abductively explores this conjecture in the context of solar energy by examining the extent to which the photovoltaic cell i...

摘要:Research Summary: This article examines a firm's investment in the general skills of contract workers in flexible work arrangements. It theorizes that this investment may prolong a productive firm-worker collaboration even when workers' mobility barriers are low. It also proposes that achieving such benefits requires that the firm frames the relational benefits of the investments both to managers and workers. Such a relational framing mitigates worker concerns about subsequent productivity dem...
