摘要：Research SummaryScaling at the right time is a crucial challenge for startups. Conceptualizing scaling as the entrepreneurial process of acquiring and committing resources to implement the core business idea and expand the customer base, this study examines how scaling early may decrease imitation risk at the expense of increasing commitment risk. As startups typically hire managers and sales personnel when they begin to scale, we propose that this timing can be empirically measured by when st...

摘要：Research SummaryOpen strategy is a new macro discourse on strategy that differs fundamentally from the conventional strategy discourse. In this paper, we examine how actors deal with the co-existence of the two discourses, given their conflicting nature. For this purpose, we draw on a longitudinal, in-depth case study of an international finance firm that introduced open strategy alongside the conventional strategy discourse that had shaped their strategy work in the past. We find that strateg...

摘要：Research SummaryToday's innovations rely on scientific discoveries of the past, yet only some corporate R&D builds directly on scientific output. In this article, we analyze U.S. patents to investigate how firms generate value by building on prior art closer to science. We show that patent value is decreasing in distance-to-science. Overall, we find a science premium within firms ranging from 5.0 to 18.3%. If we allow for firm sorting into different modes of R&D based on their relative advanta...

摘要：Research SummaryRecognizing the role of complementors in creating value in interdependent platform ecosystems, strategy research has recently started to examine performance heterogeneity across complementors. However, research has thus far focused on the performance implications of dynamics unfolding within a particular ecosystem. We take a step toward exploring influences that arise beyond the focal ecosystem by focusing conceptually on multihoming. We argue that multihoming to another platfo...

摘要：Research SummaryPlatforms are often assumed to benefit firms, especially smaller ones, by facilitating access to a broader consumer base and increasing visibility. However, this logic relies on platforms ability to match consumer preferences to complement characteristics. In addition to this matching mechanism, we posit that platforms also broker consumer attention towards complements, which then compete for this attention. We propose that this attention mechanism is particularly prominent in ...

摘要：Research SummaryPipeline hiring, repeatedly hiring individuals from the same external source organization, is a common recruiting practice. Yet, whether this pipeline approach improves incoming human capital quality or performance has limited empirical evidence. We argue that, in cooperative source-hiring organization contexts, pipelines reduce the information asymmetries present in labor markets in a way that both attracts individuals with higher pre-entry human capital and predicts postentry...

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...
