摘要：Research Summary: Scholars have noted that pronounced changes in consumer demand and technology often offer firms temporary opportunities to strengthen their performance vis-a-vis rivals. This article contributes to the literature on windows of opportunity from an organizational learning perspective. It investigates whether the depth and breadth of a firm's international experience with pronounced changes in demand conditions (demand windows) and technologies (technological windows) affect its...

摘要：We extend the ownership competence framework by discussing how the features of the institutional environment influence the exercise of ownership competence. Two amendments are proposed. First, we add a new dimension to the framework, institutional competence (where to own), which denotes that individuals and firms have heterogeneous abilities to assess how an institutional environment affects the potential uses of a resource. Second, we argue that institutional uncertainty moderates the three ...

摘要：Research Summary: Platform owners often use endorsements to actively manage complementor firms. We argue that the direct network effects of complementors' products play a centdeual role in the platform management by its owner. We test our predictions using data on the Apple's promotion of apps. We find that apps with network effects are more likely to receive an award. This likelihood increases when the app is introduced by a developer with a larger market share but declines when introduced in...

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 Abstract: We examine whether salary transparency influences gender pays inequality in the context of Canadian universities by exploiting a policy change enacted in one Canadian province that required salary disclosure through a publicly searchable database, thus lowering the cost of monitoring the gender pay gap. We find that, on average, salary disclosure improves gender pay equality but institutions respond in different ways. Despite little media attention around gender equality at ...

摘要：Research Summary: Recent research finds participating in seed accelerators can improve startups' access to growth and funding, but effects are highly heterogeneous. Less understood is whether accelerator participation can also help startups obtain higher-status early partners. On one hand, participation may improve startups' quality and signal quality to desirable partners. Yet research suggests reasons any signaling effects might be quite small or even negative, since accelerators might be pe...

摘要：Research Summary: We examine how and why pre-existing vertical scope may cause differences in product market exit rates after sudden and exogenous decreases in demand. Our empirical context is the U.S. medical diagnostic imaging industry (2004-2009), wherein a major Medicare reform created a derived demand shock to equipment manufacturers. Using a difference-in-difference-in-difference design, we find integrated firms were more likely to exit than nonintegrated firms. Building on the literatur...

摘要：Research Summary: This paper investigates how firms select reference organizations, that is, other firms to which they compare themselves. We question the exogenous nature of references (i.e., them being defined via industry-categorizations) but suggest that, via motivations or purposes, firms endogenously select them. We evaluate our findings when analyzing proprietary data on hotels' self-selection of comparison-hotels. In support of our arguments, we find that in situations of increased unc...

摘要：Monteiro and Miranda (2022) argue that owners differ in their ability to select and work within a particular institutional environment, suggesting institutional competence as a dimension of ownership competence distinct from what we call governance, matching, and timing competence. We agree that institutions matter and welcome the chance to describe their role in detail. However, rather than treating institutional competence as a separate channel by which owners create value from their assets,...
