• Shaping strategy as a structuration process AI翻译
  作者：Jarzabkowski, Paula
  作者单位：Aston University
  摘要：Research on top managers' strategizing behavior has addressed how they shape either the structural context: or the interpretations of organization members. I offer a structuration theory framework integrating these two partial explanations and treating strategy shaping as socially dynamic. A qualitative seven-year analysis of top managers in three universities shows a sequential pattern of shaping strategy first in the action and then in the institutional realm, and also a simultaneous pattern...
• How do MNCs vote in developing country elections? AI翻译
  作者：Vaaler, Paul M.

  摘要：Research on multinational corporations (MNCs) and host government political risk in developing countries has largely ignored local electoral politics, economic policies, and the MNC investment incentives they may generate. In response, I develop and test a framework for understanding MNC risk and investment behavior based on political business cycle considerations. Analyses of 408 MNC investments worth $199 billion in 18 developing countries holding 35 presidential elections from 1987 through ...
• The contingent value of local partners' business group affiliations AI翻译

  摘要：We investigated the value of local partners' business group affiliations in international joint ventures (IJVs) by integrating economic and political perspectives on business groups with insights from the IJV literature. In 563 Sino-Japanese IJVs in China, we found that a local partner's affiliation to a regional business group enhances the performance of an IJV when its location restricts foreign direct investment (FDI). Meanwhile, a local partner's affiliation to a national business group en...

  摘要：The resources that individual directors bring to corporate boards are largely a function of their human and social capital. Although research has explored the value of having former federal government officials join boards, we study factors that make one particular former government official more, or less, attractive as a director than another. Specifically, we explore the depth, breadth, and deterioration of former government officials' human and social capital and find that these dimensions ...
• Weight versus voice: How foreign subsidiaries gain attention from corporate headquarters AI翻译

  摘要：This study investigates how foreign subsidiaries gain attention from corporate headquarters. Using detailed questionnaire and archival data on 283 subsidiaries of multinational enterprises, our analysis revealed three significant findings. First, attention decisions are partially based on the structural positions that subsidiary units occupy within a corporate system-their weight. Second, a subsidiary also has a voice of its own that it can use to attract attention. Third, the relationship bet...
• Director interlocks and spillover effects of reputational penalties from financial reporting fraud AI翻译
  作者：Kang, Eugene
  作者单位：Nanyang Technological University
  摘要：I examined the spillover of reputational penalties between firms in the context of financial reporting fraud. Drawing from signaling and attribution theories, I used financial event study methodology and found significant reputational penalties in 45 (18.4%) out of 244 firms with director interlocks to 30 firms accused of financial reporting fraud in the United States. Furthermore, logistic regression analysis suggested that firms thus associated with accused firms were more likely to experien...
• Getting them to think outside the circle: Corporate governance, CEOs' external advice networks, and firm performance AI翻译

  摘要：This article contributes to the social networks literature by examining how corporate governance factors influence CEOs' external advice-seeking behaviors. We incorporate insights from social networks research into an agency theory perspective to predict, and demonstrate empirically, that governance factors recommended by agency theory increase CEOs' tendencies to seek out advice contacts who are likely to offer perspectives on strategic issues that differ from their own; these advice-seeking ...
• TOWARD AN INTEGRATIVE PERSPECTIVE ON ALLIANCE GOVERNANCE: CONNECTING CONTRACT DESIGN, TRUST DYNAMICS, AND CONTRACT APPLICATION AI翻译
  作者：Faems, Dries; Janssens, Maddy; Madhok, Anoop; Van Looy, Bart

  摘要：On the basis of a case study of two sequential alliances between the same firms, we develop a more integrative perspective on alliance governance, providing insights into the interactions between structural and relational aspects, both within and between transactions. In particular, we disentangle (1) how contracts with a similar degree but different nature of formalization (narrow versus broad) trigger different kinds of trust dynamics (negative versus positive) at both operational and manage...
• PUTTIN' ON THE RITZ: PRE-IPO ENLISTMENT OF PRESTIGIOUS AFFILIATES AS DEADLINE-INDUCED REMEDIATION AI翻译

  摘要：We describe two theoretical explanations for the amount, pace, and costs of the prestige enhancement a firm engages in during the year before its initial public offering. The snowball model captures well-known processes whereby prestige-rich organizations accumulate even more prestige. The dressing-up model builds upon deadline-induced remediation, a phenomenon not previously studied in a macro-organizational context. In 242 software IPOs, the snowball model substantially explains final-year p...
• GIVING COMMITMENT: EMPLOYEE SUPPORT PROGRAMS AND THE PROSOCIAL SENSEMAKING PROCESS AI翻译

  摘要：Researchers have assumed that employee support programs cultivate affective organizational commitment by enabling employees to receive support. Using multimethod data from a Fortune 500 retail company, we propose that these programs also strengthen commitment by enabling employees to give support. We find that giving strengthens affective organizational commitment through a prosocial sensemaking process in which employees interpret personal and company actions and identities as caring. We disc...
