摘要:The richness of organizational learning relies on the ability of humans to develop diverse patterns of action by actively engaging with their environments and applying substantive rationality. The substitution of human decision-making with machine learning has the potential to alter this richness of organizational learning. Though machine learning is significantly faster and seemingly unconstrained by human cognitive limitations and inflexibility, it is not true sentient learning and relies on...

摘要:Nonprofit organizations provide various important social goods and services. Consequently, management and strategy scholars are increasingly interested in the nonprofit sector. Existing theories of nonprofit organizations posit multiple profit-deviating objective functions to explain below-cost pricing but these theories raise problems for management and strategy. Importantly, the literature provides scant guidance on how nonprofit managers should select objectives. We propose that nonprofits ...

摘要:In this article, we propose a conceptual model of the processes that regulate theory selection and retention in management and organization studies. Considering the many sources of theoretical variety that characterize our field, what requires explanation is both the proliferation of theories as well as the decline of some schools of thought. We argue that research programs (ordered sequences of theories) lose momentum when the research movements that develop and maintain them fail to attend t...

摘要:Capitalism works when actors are motivated to engage in joint value creation. Stakeholder theorists have long argued that this is most likely when firms manage for stakeholders, but have only recently explicitly recognized that stakeholders engaged in joint value creation face collective action problems: situations in which stakeholders may be tempted to pursue their own interest at the expense of maximizing joint value creation. We build on the work of Elinor Ostrom on solving collective acti...

摘要:Voyeurism violates dominant moral codes in many societies. Yet, for a number of businesses, including erotic webcam, reality television, slum tourism, and mixed martial arts, voyeurism is an important part of value creation. The success of such businesses that violate dominant moral codes raises questions about value creation that existing theory in management cannot adequately answer. To help advance our understanding, we theorize how businesses commercializing voyeurism create value for audi...

摘要:Evidence suggests that firms often do not respond even when they are aware of an attack and have the capability to counter it. We believe that this is because they engage in a form of nonresponse that we designate as strategic forbearance, a phenomenon that has been mostly neglected by scholars of competitive dynamics. We view such forbearance as a critical component of competitive strategy-an attempt to situate responses to attacks within a more complex and nuanced strategic, organizational, ...

摘要:Over the past decade, paradox theory has developed impressively. Such advances have been fueled by a rising collective experience of paradox-as change, scarcity and plurality intensify awareness of conflicting, interdependent and persistent forces-and by a global community of paradox scholars-notably creative, dedicated and mutually supportive. We are honored by the 2021 Decade Award. Our 2011 publication helped shape rigorous research while informing vexing challenges. In this manuscript, we ...

摘要:Research on corporate social responsibility (CSR) has investigated the determinants of firms' choices to engage in substantive, as opposed to merely symbolic, CSR. However, scholars have yet to examine the economic incentives governing these choices. In particular, the literature offers little insight into how consumers' willingness to pay a CSR price premium affects the choice between symbolic versus substantive CSR. To address this question, this paper proposes a formal model wherein substan...

摘要:Employees form commitments to multiple targets, and the coordination of those multiple commitments has become a ubiquitous part of the contemporary workplace. However, commitments are still largely studied in isolation or in one-off combinations, and current commitment theory does not account for the dynamic interrelationships among multiple commitments. To address this deficiency, we propose commitment system theory (CST). We draw upon general systems theory to depict commitment systems as ma...
