摘要：Research Summary How can organizations establish collaboration between their established members and a newly hired member? We address this question by studying firms undergoing scaling using a multiple-case study. We find that widely involving the new hire into the established managers' activities backfires. Such extensive involvement is intended to build the same kind of strong, personal relationships with the new hire that the established managers share amongst themselves and, in doing so, e...

摘要：Research Summary This study investigates how social class background shapes CEO career outcomes. Extending the shifting standards model to post-appointment evaluation, we theorize that CEOs from lower-class backgrounds face persistently high confirmatory standards, producing asymmetric consequences. When their performance is strong, the high confirmatory standards amplify their success, resulting in higher initial and subsequent compensation compared to their higher-class counterparts. When pe...

摘要：Research Summary Academic spin-off (ASO) performance has been studied in relation to either specific university-level or regional-level characteristics. However, ASOs originate from universities, which are embedded in regional ecosystems. This nested structure can create an attribution problem when either level is studied in isolation. Consequently, the relative importance of these two different levels for ASO performance has remained ambiguous. To address this ambiguity, we rely on multi-leve...

摘要：Research Summary This study investigates an under-explored cost of operating in pollution havens: the pollution-induced operational cost, or the increased labor costs and material supply constraints resulting from host countries' environmental pollution. Environmental degradation can thus turn pollution havens, where lax compliance beckons institutional arbitrage and attracts investments from foreign firms, into gates of hell, where ecological damage heightens the costs for business operations...

摘要：Research Summary: Knowledge accumulation requires that we understand whether and when relationships identified in any research setting generalize to others-that is, suggesting domains where results hold (or not). Strategy scholars carefully identify how theoretical mechanisms operate in their chosen research contexts, but attend less to whether their findings apply in other contexts. Accordingly, we recommend reframing empirical contexts, typically described in terms of nominal categories (e.g...

摘要：Research Summary Entrepreneurs operating in a public interactional domain face a unique communicative challenge: they must leverage conversations with a small subset of vocal discursive partners to mobilize support from a broader base of silent audiences observing these exchanges. I propose that entrepreneurs who engage with these vocal discursive partners using what I refer to as discourse broadening are more likely to successfully gain support from the broader silent audience. Using a comput...

摘要：Research Summary We explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can serve as synthetic subjects to inform strategy research. We introduce a framework for designing and running simulated experiments with LLM-powered agents. We argue that this approach is useful for rapid, low-cost prototyping of human experiments and for generating novel hypotheses. We apply the framework to the exploration-exploitation dilemma and show that LLM-based experiments reproduce patterns observed among human participant...

摘要：Research Summary Acquisitions can create synergies by combining an acquirer's and a target's pre-existing relationships with nonmarket stakeholders. We introduce the reset effect as a novel mechanism that occurs when a firm with cooperative stakeholder relationships combines with a firm that has conflictual relationships, prompting the affected stakeholders to re-evaluate their pre-acquisition strategies. We argue that post-acquisition conflict with nonmarket stakeholders will decline when the...

摘要：Research Summary The trade-off between scale and scope has long posed a strategic dilemma, especially in digital settings, where specialization enables hyperscaling. Drawing on a longitudinal case study of ByteDance, we theorize how digital firms can overcome this constraint through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) combined with an adaptive organizational design. AI evolves and improves through self-learning and cross-fertilization across domains, becoming increasingly valuable as learn...
