摘要：Research Summary How do new ventures strategically position their products to accelerate regulatory clearance? We investigate this question in the medical device industry, where regulatory clearance is a prerequisite for market entry. We examine 239 new firms' 510(k) device clearances by the FDA between 2001 and 2019. Our approach combines quantitative analysis of firms' claims of similarity with extensive field research. We find that strategic positioning significantly impacts time to clearan...

摘要：Research Summary Co-using tasks-using the same task to produce more than one product-promises economies of scope. However, task co-use also ties products together, changing a firm's task network by introducing cross-product interdependencies. In light of these interdependencies, we identify an unrecognized downside of task co-use for product reliability: Cross-product interdependencies complicate task design and increase the risk of malfunctions. Hence, task co-use may carry a reliability pena...

摘要：Research Summary We investigate how firm performance feedback and economic conditions (upturns and downturns) impact changes in the breadth of partner types within a firm's R&D alliance portfolio (R&D AP breadth). We theorize that economic conditions moderate firms' motivation to change R&D AP breadth in response to social and historical performance-aspiration discrepancies, and shape whether they respond more strongly to social or historical aspirations. Using cross-industry data on Swiss fir...

摘要：Research Summary We investigate how deskilling technology (map apps) affects the choice of individuals to provide ride-hail service. In a vignette experiment, technology increased participation in work by 8% and 4% among low- and high-skill drivers respectively. Technology can increase participation by raising productivity or affording an amenity (reducing disutility of work). A field experiment revealed that the technology afforded more amenity to low-skill drivers and they incurred more stre...

摘要：Research Summary This study investigates client tie diversification, where firms enter markets with existing clients. Recognizing the theoretical basis for both positive and negative performance implications, the paper adopts a question-driven approach and discovers a strong negative correlation between client tie diversification and firm performance. Using data from the US federal lobbying industry during the creation of the Homeland Security issue market post-9/11, I find that lobbying firms...

摘要：While prior research on the strategic framing of innovation highlights the cognitive mechanisms underlying novelty evaluation, we know little about the corresponding emotional mechanisms. Drawing on appraisal theory, construal level theory, and the literature on emotions, we theorize two distinct appraisal-emotion pathways through which the framing of novel ideas evokes hope and awe among investors with different motives. We argue that high-construal framing supplements economically motivated ...

摘要：Research summary: We establish a new paradox surrounding technological uniqueness, defined as the degree to which a firm's patented technology portfolio differs from its competitors. On the one hand, technological uniqueness acts as a barrier to incoming technology spillovers and impedes firm performance. On the other hand, technological uniqueness reduces outgoing technology spillovers and contributes to a strategic resource that is more costly to imitate. We empirically examine these competi...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how an incumbent firm navigates internal and external uncertainties when entering a nascent platform ecosystem. Drawing on a longitudinal study of a large telecommunication firm's transition into an evolving IoT ecosystem, we advance a cognitive perspective on platform strategy. We explain how managers' cognitive frames shape platform scope decisions based on shifting assumptions and interpretations of ecosystem dynamics and internal capabilities. Our process model ...

摘要：Research Summary This research investigates how firms attempt to preempt activism before it mobilizes into an active threat. Employing a difference-in-differences design, we examine the quasi-exogenous enactments of laws that prevent Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation (anti-SLAPP laws) in the United States. We find evidence suggesting that in response to the enactment of anti-SLAPP laws, firms self-regulate through enhancing their institutional corporate social performance (instit...

摘要：Research Summary We study the impact of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) tools on product-level innovation outcomes in the context of software products. Specifically, we illustrate how GAI can alter the direction of innovation by shifting the activities of developers away from generational innovation and toward original innovation, which may be new to the market but not necessarily more novel than previous innovations. We argue that this shift is driven by GAI's ability to facilitate t...
