  摘要：Research SummaryWe evaluate a pilot in an Inspections Department to explore the returns to a pair of algorithms that varied in their sophistication. We find that both algorithms provided substantial prediction gains, suggesting that even simple data may be helpful. However, these gains did not result in improved decisions. Inspectors often used their decision authority to override algorithmic recommendations, partly to consider other organizational objectives without improving outcomes. Interv...
• Ripple effects: How collaboration reduces social movement contention AI翻译
  作者：Odziemkowska, Kate; McDonnell, Mary-Hunter

  摘要：Research SummaryResearch suggests firms can reduce stakeholder contention (e.g., lawsuits, protests) by collaborating with threatening stakeholders. We propose that by tapping into stakeholder networks and identities, collaborations also produce ripple effects beyond the firm's partner to attenuate contention from a broader set of stakeholders. Using variation in firms' and stakeholders' willingness to collaborate exogenous to contention to account for selection, our examination of contentious...
• Risky business: How standardization as coordination tool in ecosystems impacts firm-level uncertainty AI翻译

  摘要：Research SummaryCoordination challenges generate uncertainties in ecosystems. Past research suggests that standardization mitigates these challenges, reducing ecosystem-level uncertainty. But how does it affect firm-level uncertainty over value-appropriation? We examine heterogeneity in the latter effect. Using 1996-2010 data on standard-setting in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) ecosystems and a firm-level uncertainty measure based on stock option implied volatility, we demons...
• The role of information in the gender gap in the market for top managers: Evidence from a quasi-experiment AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary This study examines the role of information in the gender gap in the executive labor market from the market frictions perspective. I ask whether increases in objective and reliable information about managerial quality close the gender gap in career advancements. To obtain exogenous variation in the availability of information, I exploit a natural experiment provided by the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2005 by the European Union countrie...
• The racial gap in entrepreneurship and opportunities inside established firms AI翻译
  作者：Yang, Tiantian; Kacperczyk, Olenka

  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...
• Knowledge diffusion in nascent industries: Asymmetries between startups and established firms in spurring inventions by other firms AI翻译

  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...
• The new needs friends: Simmelian strangers and the selection of novelty AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: The paradox of rejecting novel ideas while being motivated to select them exists in many realms. Deviating from prior research that investigated several internal levers to promote the funding of novel ideas in the sciences, we focus on an external lever by investigating how seconded employees increase the selection of novel ideas in two ways: (1) they select more novel ideas themselves, and (2) they influence permanent employees to do the same. Combining unique quantitative l...
