摘要:Research Summary: The timing of talent acquisition is a central decision for new ventures. On one hand, hiring after demand is proven minimizes losses. On the other hand, hiring before demand is proven allows new ventures to start developing unique capabilities. We resolve this tension by proposing that the timing depends on human resource redeployability. We test our theory with the population of Finnish ventures showing that portfolio entrepreneurs hire more employees early on because of hig...

摘要:Research Summary: How do new entrepreneurial ventures effectively deploy linguistic frames to attract customer demand? Drawing on framing and categories research, we develop and test theory about how category dynamics shape the effectiveness of two commonly observed frames-social impact framing and innovativeness framing-in the context of prosocial categories. We test our predictions by tracking entrepreneurial ventures in the market category for massive open online courses over the category's...

摘要:\Research Summary: How firms strategically balance legitimacy and distinctiveness has garnered significant attention but reflects inconsistent perspectives. This inconsistency may stem from the inherent complexity of optimal distinctiveness (OD), which are sensitive to both the context and temporality. This article explores dynamic changes in institutional and competitive pressures and how they co-evolve with different OD strategies. Through an exploratory, multi-case study, we propose a press...

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 SummaryThis paper investigates how reputation affects firm responses to resource mobilization opportunities. We theorize that lower-reputation firms are likely to be particularly responsive to resource mobilization opportunities because they are otherwise constrained. By contrast, higher-reputation firms have access to greater resource supply and may self-restrain demand. We test these arguments in the context of venture capital (VC) firms raising investment funds. We indeed find that...

摘要:Research Summary: We examine whether impact investing is more effective in fostering business venture success and social impact when investments are directed toward ventures in disadvantaged urban areas compared to similar investments directed toward ventures outside these areas. We explore this question in the context of loans made to business ventures in French banlieues versus non-banlieues. We find that, following the loan issuance, banlieue ventures achieve greater improvements in financi...
