摘要：Research Summary We study how the entry of a rival platform affects the strategies of the incumbent's complementors. The latter face a trade-off: While the entry threatens their benefits from indirect network effects, it also allows them to escape intense within-platform competition. Studying Epic Games' entry into the PC video game market-until then dominated by Steam-we show that this trade-off does not resolve uniformly, driving heterogeneity in strategic reactions. Complementors with weake...

摘要：Research Summary How does the mode of search-independently or jointly-affect collective search, a central component of organizational adaptation and innovation? Using naturally occurring data from a strongly incentivized online competition platform, we find that compared to their counterfactuals that search apart, groups searching together exhibit less exploration in their search outcomes as noted in prior experimental and computational modeling studies. However, groups searching together stim...

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 Firms' and executives' stances on controversial issues affect consumer behavior. This political consumerism might be motivated by ideology and a desire to signal to peers, and thus vary for private and public purchases. We conduct an experiment with 1198 consumers to study how purchase visibility affects responses to CEO activism. Participants are randomly shown either generic product information or that plus a CEO statement supporting gun rights. They then choose between rece...

摘要：Research Summary This study provides a causal explanation concerning how managerial actions using historical values contribute to dynamic capabilities, or sustaining competitive advantage in changing environments. Based on historical methods that consist mainly of hermeneutics, contextualization, and source criticism, it analyzes sources and data on how Toyota strategically responded to the competitive dynamics of the automotive industry centered around modularization. This resulted in the ide...

摘要：Research Summary Board human capital theory posits that directors' skills shape firm behavior. Most studies, however, examine one skill type at a time, assuming that each director contributes independently of the other skills represented on the board. We introduce the concept of director skill interdependence, theorizing that a director's influence depends on the skills of fellow directors and their committee assignments. Focusing on entrepreneurial directors in technology-intensive firms, we ...

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 Entrepreneurship accelerators are increasingly promoted as structural interventions to close gender gaps, yet studies have not established a differential impact of participation for women. This prior evidence-drawn from high-tech, male-dominated settings-may overlook how outcomes differ in more feminized domains such as social innovation. Using unique multi-level data from 1417 ventures applying to 33 accelerators, we examine whether average effects conceal variation across in...
