摘要：Research Summary Research on necessity entrepreneurship has generated important insights, yet it views necessity entrepreneurs in developed countries as one encompassing group of unemployed individuals-ignoring that the level of need is not uniform but instead increases with time spent in unemployment. We begin to unpack the role of unemployment duration in necessity entrepreneurship by asking how it affects one of the most fundamental decisions in start-ups: what business should I be in? Anal...

摘要：Research Summary Strategic leadership scholars have produced consistent evidence that the CEO effect on firm performance depends on the latitude of actions CEOs enjoy in their particular context. We argue that as the governance leaders of their firms, board chairs choose a firm's objectives more than they do its actions. As a result, the board chair effect should vary with latitude of objectives, rather than latitude of actions. We explore this possibility by comparing the board chair effect i...

摘要：Research SummaryAlthough scholarship has demonstrated that market categories offer important signals to entrepreneurs about which goods and services are valued, little research has considered how entrepreneurs make sense of and exploit opportunities when contestation over category meaning persists. Using the emergent U.S. biodiesel market as a context, we present a framework to explain how the salience of different stakeholder frames shapes entrepreneurs' perceptions of market opportunities an...

摘要：Research Summary: Here, I document the governing copyright law and process of digitizing print records with specific application to the Jaques Cattell directories of U.S. R&D. This novel dataset covers 2,805 companies with 8,525 facilities, including location, reporting line within the organization, numbers of professional staff and technicians, and R&D fields over the years 1975-1998. The dataset includes a match to the Compustat identifier, gvkey. As an illustration, I use the new dataset to...

摘要：Research Summary We draw upon applied psychology literature to explore interagent differences in perceived risk to their equity when making strategic risk decisions. Our theory suggests behavioral agency's predicted negative relationship between equity risk bearing and strategic risk taking is contingent upon four personality traits. Our empirical analyses, based on personality profiles of 158 Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) of S&P 1,500 firms in manufacturing industries, indicate the relation...

摘要：Research Summary: This study explores incumbent responses to the architectural innovation shock of index shifting in the bicycle component industry. Incumbents differed by when they imitated and by organization of production-some integrated while others outsourced components-and many of these decisions changed over time, which are not explained by extant theory. This paper develops a theory that predicts timing of imitation and organizational choice for component manufacturing that highlights ...

摘要：Research Summary We integrate insights from upper echelon theory and the literature on innovation and multinational corporations (MNCs) to develop a framework explaining when and why nationality diversity in top management teams (TMTs) affects corporate entrepreneurship-as evidenced by diversity in global knowledge sourcing-and through this innovation performance in MNCs. In a panel of 165 manufacturing MNCs based in 20 countries, we confirm that the positive effects of TMT nationality diversi...

摘要：Research summary Patent data is a valued source of information for strategy research. However, patent-based studies may suffer from sample selection bias given that patents result from within-firm selection processes and hence do not represent the full population of inventions. We assess how incidental and nonincidental data truncation resulting from firm-level and inventor-level selection processes may result in sample selection bias using a quasi-replication approach, drawing on rich qualita...

摘要：Research Summary A firm's strategic orientation has long been of interest in management and strategy research. In particular, entrepreneurial, market, and learning orientations have received thorough theoretical and empirical research attention. In this meta-analysis, we compare the direct and combined performance effects of these orientations, explore their interrelatedness, and provide a theoretical foundation for complementarity between the three. Building on prior empirical findings from 2...

摘要：Research Summary This paper examines firms' strategic responses to reputational pressures in a critical healthcare domain-the U.S. nursing home industry. We investigate whether organizations improved in terms of care quality following an exogenous change in the required number of nursing hours associated with star-based ratings to which nursing homes are subject. We show that although firms at risk of losing a star tended to self-report higher staffing levels after the policy change, these rep...
