摘要：Research SummaryEntrepreneurs must navigate complex environmental shifts that significantly impact firm survival. In this paper, we investigate how different firm-level logics influence new venture survival in Jordan during changing social and economic conditions, such as a refugee influx. Our study reveals that these shifting environmental dynamics can differentially alter the performance outcomes of firms based on their internal logics that drive venture strategy. This dynamic relationship u...

摘要：Research SummaryThis article advances the understanding of alliance instability by integrating organizational stigma and signaling theories to explain unplanned alliance dissolution after potentially stigmatizing adverse events. We highlight the media as a key intermediary influencing whether partners stick together or break apart. We also argue that firm status and external corporate governance serve as signals that key stakeholders interpret differently, that is, amplifying media vilificatio...

摘要：Research SummarySelf-regulation is often proposed as a substitute for government regulation. We examine a setting in which a subset of firms voluntarily committed to transparency standards despite immediate competitive disadvantages, not merely to preempt regulation but to succeed under future mandatory rules they helped enact through lobbying. Focusing on the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), an anti-corruption multi-stakeholder initiative, we show that firms initially inc...

摘要：Research SummaryWe investigate why firms imitating the same competitor's strategy in the same environment often replicate different components of that strategy. We argue that such divergence can arise because firms vary in the internal interdependencies that underlie their strategies. When a firm significantly differs from a competitor in how one component of its strategy interacts with other components, the consequences of replicating the competitor's choices about that component are harder t...

摘要：Research has established that organizations benefit from optimal distinctiveness, that is, being sufficiently similar to and different from competitors. However, we know less about producers' strategic positioning choices to establish optimally distinctive identities. We explore this question through a qualitative study of chef-owners who started their own restaurants after training with well-known mentors. We identify two trajectories followed by chefs to establish optimal distinctiveness-leg...

摘要：Research SummaryComplications arise when stakeholders with heterogeneous and potentially misaligned preferences are considered in corporate decisions. This paper examines how high-level decision-making corporate forums, such as boards, can address such heterogeneous claims. We identify three corporate stakeholder governance types depending on the externalities that they generate (which can consider the contributing stakeholders or encompass a broader set of stakeholders affected by the company...
