摘要：Research Summary This study introduces category interaction codes-knowledge regarding the expected interactions around entities in a given category-as a critical dimension of category strategy. Through historical analysis of Wang Laboratories in the early computer industry, we demonstrate how these codes shape strategic categorization and competitive dynamics. We show that firms can exploit ambiguous interaction codes to access advantageous decision makers and organizational routines, circumve...

摘要：Research Summary CEO dismissal is a high-stakes governance decision, yet its implications for corporate reputations remain underexplored. We develop theory explaining how dismissals damage corporate reputation through perceptual processes that arise from features of and reactions to the practice itself, distinct from effects attributable to dismissal's (much studied) economic and strategic consequences. Drawing on expectancy violation theory, we argue that dismissals become salient and generat...

摘要：Research Summary We study an important, but largely overlooked, non-market strategy used by firms in the enforcement stage of policy: snitching, that is, providing intelligence about potential violations of their rivals in an attempt to persuade regulators to fine them. Building on political marketplace theory, we develop and test a theoretical model of how firms use snitching during regulatory enforcement. We show that in equilibrium, firms snitch when the rival's violations are likely to cau...

摘要：Research Summary The emergence of large language models (LLMs) offers new opportunities for AI integration in research, particularly for data annotation and text classification. However, researchers lack guidance on implementation best practices, as the benefits and risks of these tools remain poorly understood. We develop a foundational framework for effective LLM implementation in management research, providing structured guidance on key decisions throughout the research process. We illustra...

摘要：Research Summary While the influence of CEO characteristics on M&A decisions has long spurred researchers' interest, little attention has been devoted to the ramifications of CEO integrity-the adherence to generally accepted norms and standards. We investigate how CEO integrity influences different stages of the M&A decision process. Specifically, we argue that while CEO integrity reduces self-serving behavior, it may also become a golden cage that constrains CEOs' latitude of action. Accordin...

摘要：Research Summary Recent technological advancements have enabled more data-driven decision-making across firms. While prior literature highlights the value of using more data, there is less insight on the impact of information speed, particularly how quickly decision-makers can access it. We study how faster information access influences how decision-makers acquire information and make decisions, using data from healthcare. We examine a technology that visually displayed when test results becam...

摘要：Research Summary Is real option theory useful for management research? This topic was hotly debated two decades ago. Real options were said to be inapplicable to management research and to lack conceptual distinctiveness. Whereas responses to the claim about the non-distinctiveness of real options were disparate, the concern about the theory's non-applicability was considered remediable. Such responses left the impression that real options lost the debate, and the use of real options in manage...

摘要：Research Summary Prior research has examined whether individuals earn greater returns in entrepreneurship than in wage work but has paid little attention to gender differences in these returns. Using Swedish employee-employer data from 1990 to 2020, we compare individuals' earnings before and after they transitioned to entrepreneurship. We find that women founders earn less than men, yet this gap is smaller than in wage employment. Additionally, entrepreneurship yields disproportionately great...

摘要：Research Summary: Through both qualitative and quantitative analyses of large-rocket providers' support for small-satellite manufacturers before the emergence of small rockets, we examine how disruptors to an incumbent ecosystem gain support from complementors of the incumbent technology. Our analyses illuminate the incumbent complementors' adjustment costs arising from cospecialization with specific incumbent technology designs and resource dependency on major incumbent technology customers. ...

摘要：Research Summary We examine a significant yet underappreciated effect of IPR implementation: the dissemination after TRIPS implementation of established scientific knowledge from low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) into the global scientific system of pharmaceutical development. The staggered implementation of the policy allows identification of increased diffusion of pre-existing LMIC knowledge on global diseases into the global corporate invention pipeline. For neglected diseases, the u...
