摘要：Research Summary Why do inventors facing similar feedback from the technological environment differ in their propensity to search locally or distantly? Problem-driven decision calculus tends not to sufficiently explain such heterogeneity. We instead examine the individual inventor's calculus surrounding career concern. We propose that with reduced technological opportunities in her local domains, the ensuing career concern induces her to search distantly. This response is attenuated when caree...

摘要：Research Summary Strategy research advises firms to capture generative value by continually introducing generational improvements on their existing products. This article considers a potential dark side of such strategy. We argue that generational innovation can elicit a negative near-term response from customers, as it distorts their ingrained behavioral patterns and imposes learning costs. Further, we propose that this negative effect of generational innovation will diminish when the product...

摘要：Research Abstract A diverse workforce has long been associated with multiple firm benefits, but this is sometimes difficult to achieve due to employer discrimination. Although multiple institutional arrangements have been put in place to ban discriminatory behavior, the effects of such regulations remain relatively unexplored, often neglecting start-ups. We propose that institutional changes aiming to outlaw employment discrimination will trigger two main effects: they will (a) depress start-u...

摘要：Research Summary Past research discovered multiple drivers of interorganizational connectivity; however, their relative importance remains a puzzle. This study generalizes known network antecedents to six dimensions of the interorganizational environment-time, industry, geography, organization, networks, and agents-and decomposes variability in dyadic corporate connectedness to find the dimensions' relative importance for board interlocks, executive migration, and alliances among the S&P 500 c...

摘要：Research Summary: An extensive body of research examines concentration levels (i.e., mass) of industry clusters; however, little attention is paid to their dynamics (i.e., motion). Understanding cluster dynamics is important because how clusters change over time may have implications for firm strategies and outcomes that are not attributable to cluster mass alone. To advance scholarship, we derive a theoretically grounded measure of cluster motion. Applying this measure to data on establishmen...

摘要：Research Summary This study investigates the importance of early life training for people's leadership roles later in the workplace. We focus on team leaders in industrial research and analyze changes in team leadership after the abandonment of the military draft by the United States in 1973. This policy produced a twofold effect on leadership training opportunities: it eliminated the training provided during the draft and reduced the incentives to pursue long-term education to defer conscript...

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...
