摘要：Research Summary: We study how autonomous Emergency Medical Service (EMS) teams prioritize competing financial and social goals during 9-1-1 calls. Prior research highlights organization-level solutions that enable singlegoal pursuit, but it remains unclear how frontline professionals manage competing goals that are interdependent and inseparable during task execution. We argue EMS teams will dynamically prioritize goals across calls depending on contextual factors. Using quasi-random assignme...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how the structure of ecosystems shapes firms' acquisition choices. We develop a theoretical framework comprising three levels of ecosystem structure - local interdependence, clusters, and centrality - that could drive choices of M&A targets based on expected ecosystem synergies, a previously undocumented acquisition synergy that creates benefits for the acquirer and the ecosystem overall. Ecosystem synergy is value created through combination of the acquirer and tar...

摘要：Research Summary Strategic management research often uses accounting data, despite well-known concerns that earnings management could obscure the link between actual and measured performance. We apply methods from the econometric literature on bunching to estimate that around 15 percent of firm-year observations in Compustat manipulate accounting earnings to achieve profitability. We show that cash-based performance measures are less susceptible to manipulation and that the choice of accrual v...

摘要：Research Summary This paper examines the extent and determinants of internal agglomeration-the spatial clustering of establishments within firms. It introduces a novel methodology that benchmarks a firm's spatial footprint against that of comparable stand-alone firms, yielding a firm-level measure of internal agglomeration. Applied across sectors of the U.S. economy, the approach reveals that internal agglomeration is widespread but varies by industry and firm characteristics. It is more preva...

摘要：Research Summary What human capital do established organizations need to bring new ideas to market? Combining Danish registry and Community Innovation Survey data, we document a robust positive relationship between hiring former founders and firms' sales from innovation. Entrepreneurs join smaller, younger firms (which exhibit larger effects), managerial skills and external industry founding experience matter, while other selection or human capital-based explanations appear muted. Founder hire...

摘要：Research Summary Research on performance feedback presents conflicting views on how above-aspiration performance influences organizational change. Some studies argue that it constrains change due to a lack of organizational motivation, while others suggest that it enables change by expanding managerial discretion. Reconciling these perspectives, we suggest that managers' narcissistic tendencies can fundamentally alter how a firm responds to above-aspiration performance. We theorize and find ev...
