摘要：Prior research highlights storytelling as a means for entrepreneurs to establish venture legitimacy and gain stakeholder support. We extend this line of research by examining the role that projective stories play in setting expectations and the dynamics that ensue. Such attention highlights a paradox-the very expectations that are set through projective stories to gain venture legitimacy can also serve as the source of future disappointments. Because of inherent uncertainties that projective s...

摘要：To examine what, if any, are the differences in how activities are coordinated within versus between firms, we conducted interviews with 32 project managers regarding 60 projects in the offshore software services industry. Uniquely, our projects were sampled along two dimensions: (1) colocation versus spatial distribution and (2) delivery by groups of individuals from a single firm versus from multiple firms. Our evidence suggests that in colocated projects, the same broad categories of coordi...

摘要：We develop a theoretical framework to explain how two aspects of market structures-divergent and convergent audience preference and within-and between-category competition-shape market identities. We focus specifically on robust market identities, an underresearched type of identity defined as balanced membership in divergent social categories. We argue that these identities are most prevalent in markets with more divergent audiences and less within-category competition. We test our arguments ...

摘要：This year marks the 25th anniversary of Organization Science. To celebrate this milestone, I invited the past editors-in-chief to write a short essay reflecting on their experiences as editor of the journal. Arie Lewin founded the journal in 1990 and served as editor-in-chief until 1998, when Kaye Schoonhoven stepped into the role. In Kaye's essay, she offers an insider's perspective about how the journal grew during and evolved after Arie's leadership. Linda Argote took over in 2004 and succe...

摘要：This paper investigates how the pattern of encounters between a firm's competitors affects the firm's inclination to follow its competitors into a new market. We theorize that direct encounters between a firm's rivals lead to a herding effect, making imitative market entry more likely. Past mutual forbearance between a firm's competitors (resulting from asymmetric multimarket competition) further strengthens this herding effect, by enhancing the firm's expectations of market attractiveness. In...

摘要：This study of the U.S. wind energy industry extends theory on the process of industry emergence by developing and testing a coevolutionary model of the relationship between social movement organizations (SMOs), institutions, and industries. Building on research that suggests that SMOs can influence institutions and the path of emerging industries, we show that the growth of an industry can also influence the diversity of social movements by motivating the participation of specialist SMOs. Thes...

摘要：Building on social role theory, we extend a contingency perspective on intergroup competition proposing that having groups compete against one another is stimulating to the creativity of groups composed largely or exclusively of men but detrimental to the creativity of groups composed largely or exclusively of women. We tested this idea in two separate studies: a laboratory experiment (Study 1) and a field study (Study 2). Study 1 showed that competition had the expected positive effects on th...

摘要：We examine the contingencies that sway independent noncore directors of S&P 500 firms to heed the norms of the corporate elite or the disciplining forces of the efficient directorial labor market in the context of executive entrenchment. We find support for the corporate elite perspective as the number of independent noncore directors is positively associated with an entrenchment index score. However, the positive association is moderated by contextual factors that influence whether these dire...

摘要：Addressing the call for a deeper understanding of ambidexterity at the individual level, we propose that managers' networks are an important yet understudied factor in the ability to balance the trade-off between exploring for new business and exploiting existing business. Analyses of 1,449 ties in the internal and external networks of 79 senior managers in a management consulting firm revealed significant differences in the density, contact heterogeneity, and informality of ties in the networ...

摘要：This research examines the process through which globally distributed work teams attempt to adapt to cross-cultural differences while being constrained by the local contexts in which they are embedded. We conducted an in-depth field study of nine software development teams that included 132 ethnographic initial interviews, periods of team observation, 19 follow-up interviews, and team meetings. Inductive analysis of the data led us to develop an embedded model of cultural adaptation in global ...
