摘要：Research Summary We theorize the strategies that entrepreneurial actors employ to instill their endeavors with culturally resonant meanings and rally the support of key audiences (investors, analysts, or customers). In extant cultural entrepreneurship research, endeavors are assumed to achieve resonance and gain support when actors deploy the culture they share with their targeted audiences. But what if actors and audiences hold cultural repertoires that poorly overlap? We consider actors' eff...

摘要：Research Summary Scholars have long recognized that interlocking directors act as conduits (or pipes) in the interorganizational diffusion of governance practices. Yet, this research generally depicts interlocks as homogenous, overlooking the possibility that directors differ in their beliefs about a given practice. Our study explores this idea in the context of the spread of two practices-lone-insider board structures and CEO-chair separation-across S&P 500 firms from 1997 to 2016. We theoriz...

摘要：Research Summary This study investigates how dual-purpose technical and relational capabilities influence two types of product innovation: component and full product. We consider product modification, manufacturing, supplier relationship, and customer relationship capabilities, analyzing their interactions and interrelationships through an inductive study set in the motorhome industry. We find patterns between capabilities and types of product innovations and then use a descriptive qualitative...

摘要：Research Summary The COVID-19 pandemic will rank among the greatest challenges many executives will have faced and not only due to the operational challenges it posed. Upon entering the U.S. context, the disease was immediately politically polarized, with clear partisan splits forming in risk perceptions of the disease unrelated to science. We exploit this context to examine whether firms' partisan positioning affects whether and how they communicate risk to their investors on a polarized publ...

摘要：Research summary This article exploits a natural experiment involving self-regulation in the ready-to-eat (RTE) breakfast cereal industry to evaluate the performance impact of product repositioning. It then examines how a product's brand equity value declines with repositioning distance and explores various nonprice responses of firms to increased own and rival competition. Self-regulation led to a crowding of the product space by forcing differentiated products to become more similar. We find...

摘要：Research Summary The platform literature offers keen insights on the pricing and non-pricing strategies that transaction platforms undertake. We supplement this work by studying how platforms mix together their strategic choices and the association with platforms' performance. To that end, we focus on crowdfunding platforms; a prominent setting of transaction platforms. We present an inductive large-N study of the population of 788 crowdfunding platforms that operated in EU-15 countries up to ...

摘要：Research Summary We investigate the relationship between value creation and value capture among frontline managers. Using longitudinal data from a restaurant chain, we find that those managers who persistently create more value for the firm capture just 0.5% of that extra value through their pay. We explore the reasons for this limited managerial value capture using an abductive approach. We find some evidence that value capture may be limited by lack of alternative employment opportunities. M...

摘要：Research summary We claim that, because patent citations influence examiner selection, firms disclose citations strategically to influence which examiner is assigned to their application (examiner-shopping). Specifically, firms are more likely to cite patents reviewed by lenient examiners in their original information disclosure statement (IDS) (sent before the examiner has been selected), and delay citations to patents reviewed by tough examiners to subsequent IDS (sent once the examiner has ...

摘要：Research Summary This study examines the propensity of small firms to provide health insurance in response to high state-level unemployment insurance (UI) benefits, given that generous UI benefits reduce labor market frictions that constrain employee mobility. We exploit a unique data set of over 15,000 small private firms in the United States and find that when state UI benefits are high, firms will offer their employees health insurance benefits-especially when those firms rely on human capi...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how and when integration of process and product components within a firm's innovation portfolio increases firm returns. Strategy literature argues that integration enhances the firm's appropriation of returns from innovations. We evaluate this argument recognizing that integration is but one of multiple appropriation tools; firms can also use other (e.g., scale-based) mechanisms to enhance appropriation. Using new measures of integration based on textual coding of p...
