摘要：Research Abstract: How do competitors respond when a firm experiences an increased threat of penalties for questionable business activities? While conventional wisdom suggests that competitors will attempt to avoid similar activities, we draw attention to a countervailing incentive. If an increased threat of penalties induces one firm to reduce its engagement in an activity, competitors in an industry may see an opportunity to profit by increasing their engagement in the activity. We explain h...

摘要：Research Summary We apply a resource-based view to investigate how the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) affects competitive capabilities and performance. Following prior work on using chess as a controlled setting for studying competitive interactions, we compare the same players' capabilities and performance across conventional, centaur, and engine chess tournaments. Our analysis shows that AI adoption triggers interrelated substitution and complementation dynamics, which make humans'...

摘要：Research Summary: Remedies for infringement are important determinants of the strength of patent protection. However, there has been little emphasis on the role of patent remedies in profiting from innovation via licensing. To address this gap, we examined the impact of patent remedies on technology licensing. Our study exploited a US Supreme Court decision that reduced the probability of issuing injunctions as a remedy to compare US firms' licensing propensity with that of a matched control g...

摘要：Research Summary: Using an organization design lens, we explore how key characteristics of both task systems and their associated resources may benefit firms. We unpack task system interdependencies by studying the interaction of decentralization and complexity, examining resource fungibility and resource slack, and exploring their joint alignment. Our context is the scheduled U.S. passenger airline industry over two decades. Results show that firm performance improves when (a) task system dec...

摘要：Research Summary: We examine how crisis conditions affect the link between structural holes and organizational performance. Since brokerage offers early access to diverse perspectives and autonomy in exchange relations, the benefits of brokerage should rise when crises erupt. However, evidence on the subject has been inconclusive, raising the question of whether crisis actually imposes a boundary condition on structural hole theory. Using longitudinal data on investment banks, and exploiting t...

摘要：Research Summary: This study examines cross-border bandwagons of foreign direct investment (FDI), a mass FDI entry process, into an emerging economy by following global investors from multiple home countries. Complementing the frequency mechanism, we introduce a cohesion mechanism that can also drive cross-border bandwagons of FDI. Drawing on the notion of information voids, we submit that the two mechanisms are based on different origins of information, and their relative effects vary dependi...

摘要：Research Summary: In this article, we explore the effects of managerial monitoring on the behavior of subordinates tasked with the search for alternatives in a complex environment. We argue that managerial monitoring will lead subordinates to exhibit more search than they would engage in otherwise as they try to impress their superiors by exerting more effort. We test and confirm our hypothesis in four laboratory studies with a total of 444 participants. Our findings show that search distance ...

摘要：Research Summary: Emerging-market multinational enterprises (EMNEs) are known for their light-touch integration after cross-border acquisitions. That is, compared with their developed-country counterparts, EMNEs are more likely to retain the top management team (TMT) of the target firms. In this paper, we argue that this difference in retention rate can be explained by country, cohort, and firm effects. While the literature mostly associates EMNEs with where they are from (country effect), EMN...

摘要：Research Summary Hambrick and Quigley's (2014) CEO in context (CiC) technique leads to a much larger CEO effect than traditional ANOVA or multilevel modeling. We replicate H&Q's study, apply their CiC technique to a much more comprehensive U.S. sample, and assess the sensitivity of the model findings to variations in method and data. We generally confirm H&Q's finding of a high CEO effect, but find a smaller industry effect and a larger firm effect in our much larger sample. Applying the CiC t...

摘要：Research Summary When a firm and a competitor collaborate with the same partner, they compete for the shared partner's resources and attention. Such peer competition has been shown to negatively affect a firm's access to resources and its performance. One might expect that also the employees' careers to suffer as a result. However, we argue that the firm's employees benefit from such collaborations. They leverage these collaborations to build social capital-helping their mobility and careers. ...
