摘要：Research summary We examine how heterogeneity in customers' tendencies to single-home or multi-home affects a platform's competitive responses to new entrants in the market. We first develop a formal model to generate predictions about how a platform will respond. We then empirically test it, leveraging a historical setting: TV station entry into local U.S. newspaper markets from 1945 to 1963. A notable feature of this setting is a quasi-natural experiment: the staggered geographic and tempora...

摘要：Research Summary The division of labor allows individuals to focus their time on a narrower band of activities and increase productivity through specialization, but this comes at a cost. When individuals divide labor, they divide value and split the pie they help create. In this article, I formally model this tradeoff and examine how it is affected by opportunity-cost considerations due to market characteristics. I then test the empirical predictions of the model in the residential real estate...

摘要：Research Abstract Exploration and exploitation in strategic decision-making entails decisions about whether and where to search for new alternatives to improve the status quo. Prior research has not explored how decisions about whether to continue search (vs. stop search or satisfice) and where to search (near vs. far) are interrelated. We report laboratory experiment results on how individuals decide whether and where to search in a complex, combinatorial task. We find that different feedback...

摘要：Research Summary Scholars have long recognized the theoretical and practical implications of firm-specifichuman capital. However, we highlight that firm-specificincentives(i.e., worker incentives that provide more utility to workers in the focal firm than similar incentives available at other employers) provide an important pathway to competitive advantages that has not been comprehensively examined in the extant organizational research. We address this gap by (a) defining firm-specific incent...

摘要：Research Summary This study contributes to the growing strategic corporate social responsibility (CSR) literature by examining the intersection of acquisition studies and international expansion research and highlighting the unexplored impact of media coverage of CSR and corporate social irresponsibility (CSI) in shaping completion and duration outcomes of cross-border acquisitions. A quantitative analysis of 4,087 cross-border acquisition announcements by firms from Brazil, Russia, India, Chi...

摘要：Research Summary Why do some firms routinely acquire more than others? I contribute to the study of technological acquisitions and capability development more broadly by documenting how the interaction between organizational plasticity and environmental munificence can create one demarcation point for some technology firms to become more acquisitive than others. Using a novel dataset on 1,201 firms that went public between 1983 and 2007, I find evidence of a persistent divergence even 20 years...

摘要：Research summary In this study, we investigate reverse status transfer from foreign to home country markets. We argue that a positive product status accrued in a leading foreign country, or outside status, increases domestic market performance by providing home country audiences with a means of self-enhancement. We predict that the impact of outside status will be stronger when the foreign and home countries have similar economic conditions, and when the products are high priced, luxury goods-...

摘要：Research summary Many markets have multiple voluntary certification programs that sellers use to signal product or organizational quality. We argue that there can be positive spillovers in adoption of competing certifications and propose a framework for understanding how such spillovers arise through three channels: suppliers, adopters, and users of various labels. Our empirical analysis demonstrates these effects in the context of Chinese green-building certification. Specifically, we measure...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how a firm defends its capability and character reputations in response to different violations. We develop our core theoretical mechanism-stakeholders' situational expectations-to theorize that the effectiveness of a firm's response strategy following a violation depends on the nature of the violation and the reputational judgment being made. We test our hypotheses using two longitudinal violation samples and novel media-based measures of reputation. Generally, we ...
