摘要：Research Summary The success of skunkworks often involves nurturing an identity at odds with the parent firm, which may cause de-identification with the firm and hamper reintegration of team members post-project. This identity work could lead to market success but organizational failure as skunkworks' members distance themselves from the parent firm tasking the innovation. To explore the when and how of identity work throughout a skunkworks' lifecycle, we studied a skunkworks at an internation...

摘要：Research Summary This paper studies the impact of platform-owner entry threat on complementors in platform-based markets. We examine how app developers on the Android mobile platform adjust innovation efforts (rate and direction) and value-capture strategies in response to the threat of Google's entry into their markets. We find that after Google's entry threat increases, affected developers reduce innovation and raise the prices for the affected apps. However, their incentives to innovate are...

摘要：Research Summary In this study, we replicate and expand Hawn et al.'s study (Strategic Management Journal, 2018, 39, 949-976) that used Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI) events to measure variations in firms' Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)-activism and examined their effect on a firm's stock price. We use DJSI events to capture variations in firms' CSR visibility, holding CSR activism constant by restricting our analyses to CSR-equivalent firms. First, we find similar results ...

摘要：Research Summary We conduct a field experiment at an entrepreneurship bootcamp to investigate whether interaction with proximate peers shapes a nascent startup team's performance. We find that teams whose members lack prior ties to others at the bootcamp experience peer effects that influence the quality of their product prototypes. A 1-SD increase in the performance of proximate teams is related to a two-thirds SD improvement for a focal team. In contrast, we find that teams whose members hav...

摘要：Research Summary Our paper sheds new light on the performance implications associated with insider versus outsider CEOs. We frame CEO selection as risk-taking, in which outsiders are relatively risky hires, with a greater tendency to generate extreme performance outcomes-either positive or negative-as compared to insiders. We base this expectation on two complementary theoretical perspectives: human capital and information asymmetry. We conduct multiple tests on large samples of CEO succession...

摘要：Research Summary Media coverage is known to influence firms' behavior, but it is less known whether coverage of firms' partners also has an effect. In a context of governance practices' diffusion in Canada, we distinguish the effect of direct media coverage of the firm's activities, from indirect coverage, defined as media coverage of the firms' interlock partners. We examine whether the coverage is laden with positive or negative emotions. We find that both direct and indirect media coverage ...

摘要：Research Summary This study examines motivations and team building processes of employee entrepreneurs in the disk-drive industry. Our inductive, grounded theory building approach uncovers that ringleaders-founders who spearhead spinout creation-are driven by a nonpecuniary desire to create in a fertile environment, when they encounter frictions within the parent firm. Cofounders share the desire to create, but ensure departure on good terms to retain the option of returning to paid employment...
