摘要：Research Summary Existing literature shows the benefits of firm-university collaborations. Yet, it has overlooked factors that mitigate concerns with outgoing knowledge spillovers associated with this form of external knowledge sourcing. This study argues that the deterrent effects produced by intrafirm collaborations make a firm more likely to form co-authorship linkages with a university when its corresponding R&D unit exhibits a higher degree of intrafirm collaboration linkages, especially ...

摘要：Research Summary This study examines the impact of startup acquisition on the acquired employees' propensity for entrepreneurship. As a new owner, the acquirer may not prioritize acquired employees' ideas to be commercialized internally, thereby increasing the odds that they are pursued externally. Leveraging employee-employer matched data from U.S. Census on high-tech startup acquisitions and their workforce in 1990-2011, I find that startup acquisitions substantially increase the rate of emp...

摘要：Research Summary This paper builds theoretical arguments and shows empirical evidence of the direct benefits and indirect costs of corporate volunteering in developing countries. Spanning corporate and humanitarian sectors to work in challenging environments should activate motivational and learning benefits for participating employees. However, results from a field study of a 10-year partnership between logistics provider TNT and the United Nations World Food Program show that such boundary-s...

摘要：Research Summary Cultural entrepreneurship theory suggests that entrepreneurial narratives need to be optimally distinctive-neither portraying an offering as too similar to nor too distinctive from the conventions of its product category-for attracting superior demand. Building on and extending this literature, we propose that the benefits and downsides of a distinctive narrative fundamentally depend on a category's distinctiveness vis-a-vis alternative categories because distinctive categorie...

摘要：Research Summary We introduce a new database which provides an unprecedented window into the off-the-job lives and interests of public firm top executives as reflected by their personal income allocation. We construct this database by matching household credit card spending data with the population of executives in Execucomp. To overcome the significant computational challenges associated with matching these data, we build on the statistical record-linking literature in a way that allows us to...

摘要：Research Summary How does an acquisition initiated by a firm's alliance partner affect the value that the firm can create and capture from its alliance with that partner? We conjecture that the similarity between the businesses of the firm and its partner's acquisition target restricts the firm's ability to create and capture value from its alliance, whereas the complementarity between their businesses enhances the firm's gain from its alliance. We further expect relational embeddedness betwee...

摘要：Research Summary Many scholars bemoan the difficulty of learning from individual research reports. Replication is often prescribed as a salve, but few replications are conducted, and even fewer allow the formation of a coherent understanding. In this article, we propose a complement to replication that emphasizes the mapping of epistemic uncertainties. We demonstrate our approach by exploring the results of six related studies on the link between social and financial performance. We show that ...

摘要：Research Summary: The purpose of this introduction to the SMS collection is to take stock of advances in language-based analyses of strategic processes and practices with an eye on the theoretical and methodological insights and opportunities. After a review of the articles included, we develop a framework that identifies four perspectives ranging from the more micro to the macro: (a) microlevel conceptual basis of strategy discourse, (b) use of language in strategy work processes in their soc...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how technological, geographical, and product market overlaps between a firm and its alliance partner influence the firm's invention performance by shaping the learning and competitive tension in an R&D alliance. Drawing on research on learning in alliances and competitive dynamics, we argue that the firm's invention performance is influenced positively by technological and geographical overlaps and negatively by product market overlap. We further argue that product ...

摘要：Research summary We examine how corporate innovators adapt their intraorganizational networks when firms introduce performance-based incentive plans that center on the short-term achievement of individuals' measurable outputs. We postulate that such plans prompt individuals to revise goals and reconfigure their networks accordingly. Using the co-patenting data, we analyzed cases of this incentive redesign by Japanese electronics firms in the 1990s. We found that the redesign engendered the eme...
