摘要：Research SummaryWe investigate how worker mobility influences the adoption of a new technology using state-level changes to the enforceability of noncompete agreements as an exogenous shock to worker mobility. Using data on over 153,000 establishments from 2010 and 2018, we find that changes that facilitate worker movements are associated with a significant decline in the likelihood of adoption of machine learning. Moreover, we find that the magnitude of decline depends upon the size of the es...

摘要：Research SummaryMany strategy studies implicitly rely upon inference to the best explanation (IBE) or modern abduction. We leverage recent work in the philosophy of science to consider how we arrive at best explanations, explanations that are lovely, in the sense that they are useful, general, and provide meaning, and likely, in the sense that they are close to the truth. Interpretation of observational results requires an understanding of context that statistical analysis alone cannot provide...

摘要：Research SummaryMultimodal data, comprising interdependent unstructured text, image, and audio data that collectively characterize the same source, with video being a prominent example, offer a wealth of information for strategy researchers. We emphasize the theoretical importance of capturing the interdependencies between different modalities when evaluating multimodal data. To automate the analysis of video data, we introduce advanced deep machine learning and data fusion methods that compre...

摘要：To thrive in an unpredictable world, managers must adapt their decision-making to changing events. However, a major impediment to adaptation is strategic persistence, that is, the tendency to stick with previously successful strategies. We examined whether multiple scenario analysis can help to overcome the dysfunctional effects of strategic persistence. In a laboratory study using a multi-round strategy simulation that required players to change strategies to succeed, we found that multiple s...

摘要：Research SummaryThis article investigates how job seekers' perceptions of an employer's formal hierarchy affect the size and gender composition of its applicant pool. Building on the literature on gendered organizations and organizational design, we develop opposing perspectives on these relationships. To arbitrate between these perspectives, we first conduct a field experiment in partnership with a hiring firm. We find that featuring a flatter hierarchy in recruiting materials does not signif...

摘要：Research Summary This article examines whether the Affordable Care Act (ACA) health insurance reform reduced the gender gap in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) entrepreneurship. I argue that the ACA mitigated mobility constraints imposed by employer-provided health insurance and encouraged entrepreneurship with important contingencies: effects were limited to women because of gender differences in supply-side cost reduction and demand-side health insurance needs and wer...

摘要：Research SummaryWe use a novel longitudinal dataset, constructed from 16 downloads of VentureXpert records collected over 20 years, to characterize the international migration of venture-capital-backed startups. We find that: (i) 1078 firms in our sample (1.4%) migrate; (ii) countries with high levels of in-migration also have high levels of out-migration; (iii) migrating firms move to places with more investors; (iv) pre-move investors and their connections most strongly predict migration pat...
