摘要：We examine industry and technology (non)emergence by integrating actorcentric and systems perspective literature streams. We use historical methods to analyze rich data tracking investments by actors spanning private, public, and academic sectors in the solar photovoltaics context. The industry took several decades after commercialization to emerge; moreover, silicon and thin film technologies experienced divergent fates despite firm takeoff. By uncovering critical interdependencies across act...

摘要：We theorize that competing with an interpersonal rival from another organization has a divergent cross-level effect: employees increase their visible individual contributions, but their total contributions to the organization decrease. Striving to outshine their rivals, employees focus on visible individual contributions that are easily observable and readily attributable. We advance three mechanisms through which this focus can reduce employees' total contributions to the organization: crowdi...

摘要：Markets are often sites of ongoing contestation regarding the acceptability of various product features and production practices. Although prior research has explored how producers resolve moral controversies, less attention has been paid to how they convince consumers of their products' moral acceptability when consensus remains elusive. This study addresses this gap by examining a prominent tactic: producers' strategic affiliations with high-status moral advisors. We theorize that such affil...

摘要：Occupational subgroups with similar training often develop differing work practices within their local settings. These differences may create inconsistencies when organizational change brings subgroups together to work alongside each other. Based on a two-year qualitative study of a hospital merger combining two neonatal intensive care units, we consider how differing expert practices may be challenged, preserved, or reconciled when subgroups are brought together. We find that reconciliation p...

摘要：As the AI Task Force for Organization Science, we provide an early account of artificial intelligence's (AI) impact on both submissions and reviews at a major academic journal. Submission volume has risen 42% since the late 2022 release of ChatGPT, while writing quality has declined. The rise in AI-generated writing accounts for nearly all of these trends. AI-generated writing in reviews has also increased, and is characterized by lower writing quality and less topical diversity than human-gen...

摘要：When thinking about one's future work life and career with its seemingly endless possibilities, individuals rarely have a singular put together vision of their future self, in which all components neatly fit together. We investigate how the complementarity of a future self impacts an individual's efforts to work toward their desired future career. We conceptualize and operationalize a future self as a network of future-oriented cognitive representations and complementarity as the extent of mut...

摘要：Estimating the private value of patents is important, yet challenging. By developing a method based on stock market returns to produce estimates of individual patent values, Kogan et al. [Kogan L, Papanikolaou D, Seru A, Stoffman N (2017) Technological innovation, resource allocation, and growth. Quart. J. Econom. 132(2):665-712] (KPSS) opened venues for new research. We characterize the measurement error in KPSS-the difference between the latent true patent value and the corresponding KPSS es...

摘要：Research documents that firms targeted by financially motivated shareholder activists often reduce spending in areas with uncertain or delayed payoffs. Yet, it is unclear whether this pattern extends to corporate political activity (CPA), particularly lobbying- an investment that is relatively inexpensive and can generate substantial benefits in the short run. We investigate how governance conditions shape the influence of block-holding activism on firm lobbying expenditures. Drawing on an eme...

摘要：We examine how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts three core pillars of collaboration-performance enhancement, expertise integration, and social engagement- through a preregistered field experiment with 791 professionals at Procter & Gamble, a global consumer packaged goods company. Working on real product innovation challenges, professionals were randomly assigned to work either with or without AI, and either individually or with another professional in new product development teams. Our fi...

摘要：This study examines how individual creative producers navigate conflicting valuation standards when multiple audience types are copresent. Drawing on a multiyear participant-observation study of stand-up comedy in Los Angeles, I introduce practical annealing as a real-time, cue-driven competency through which performers reconcile heterogeneous standards across casual consumers, peers, and gatekeepers. Practical annealing unfolds through three situated practices: audience profiling (inferring l...
