摘要:The literature on corporate governance indicates that, by engaging in strategy-related activities, boards of directors can help firms adapt to environmental discontinuities. So far, however, studies shed limited light on board-internal challenges and dynamics in such difficult times, thus providing few insights into the conditions under which boards may contribute to organizational inertia. We use a comparative case study of 10 major Swiss electric utility companies during the energy transitio...

摘要:Emergent leadership-the ascription of informal leadership responsibilities among team members-is a dynamic phenomenon that comes into place through social interactions. Yet, theory remains sparse about the importance of verbal behaviors for emergent leadership in self-managed teams over a team's lifecycle. Adopting a functional perspective on leadership, we develop a temporal account that links changes in task-, change-, and relations-oriented communication to emergent leadership in early, mid...

摘要:Despite wide consensus that leader vision is a key vehicle for leaders to motivate followers to support organizational change, it remains far from clear what characterizes an effective vision of change. Research on organizational change that has used a social identity perspective has asserted that one important reason why followers resist change is because change may pose a threat to their subjective sense of continuity of organizational identity. Accordingly, we hypothesize that leaders that ...

摘要:We propose a conceptual framework for expanding the scope of future research on the role of gender in career negotiations. Extant research on gender in career negotiations emphasizes women's disadvantages relative to men in compensation negotiations. We present an inductive study of what and how women negotiate for career advancement and the attainment of leadership positions in organizations, drawing on data from diverse samples of negotiation accounts by senior executive, mid-level, and earl...

摘要:This study explores the cost of legitimacy management in the context of corporate giving. Specifically, how much does an organization spend in order to manage external legitimacy? We view corporate giving as a means by which firms may seek external legitimacy, and propose that, in response to evaluations of external audiences, organizations strategically manage such costs under a tension between legitimacy and efficiency concerns. We examine this argument by developing an institutional theory ...

摘要:The vast majority of theory and research to date on transformational leadership has focused on how transformational leader behaviors influence followers, portraying those behaviors as unequivocally beneficial. We pivot from this predominant focus to a focus on the detriments of transformational leader behaviors for leaders themselves. Drawing from conservation of resources theory, we propose that although transformational leader behaviors produce gains for both leaders and followers, those beh...

摘要:Economists have long held that bringing firms under the umbrella of a common ownership structure creates monopolistic conditions that reduce competition. We challenge this view by investigating competition between firms in a nuanced manner. We examine the competitive and performance implications of common institutional ownership, which occurs when an institutional investor owns a sizeable number of shares in two publicly traded firms. We argue that rival firms with common ownership structures ...

摘要:Management scholars have demonstrated that CEOs look to cues provided from external stakeholders when determining the direction and timing of strategic action. Research has focused on hard forms of external performance feedback, primarily in the form of stock market reactions. To understand both whether and to what degree soft external performance feedback of strategic actions influences the subsequent strategic decisions of firms, we build our arguments from and contribute to upper echelons t...

摘要:Signaling theorists have paid a great deal of attention to the costs of acquiring characteristics that can serve as signals, such as endorsements from reputable third parties. However, limited attention has been devoted to the penalty costs associated with providing inaccurate signals and the factors that can exacerbate or attenuate the penalties. We examine the effect of negative feedback loops on venture capital (VC) firms' reputations that result from the failures (delistings) of the newly ...
