摘要:This study identifies two organizational factors that foster explorative products, willingness to cannibalize and future-oriented market scanning, and examines whether the relationships of these factors with exploration are contingent on environmental turbulence in customer, competitor, and technological sectors. The study analyzes data from 145 U.S. public manufacturing firms to examine the relationship between the two organizational factors and the degree to which the firms pursue explorativ...

摘要:The notion that firms can improve their innovativeness by tapping users and customers for knowledge has become prominent in innovation studies. Similar arguments have been made in the marketing literature. We argue that neither literatures take sufficient account of firm organization. Specifically, firms that attempt to leverage user and customer knowledge in the context of innovation must design an internal organization appropriate to support it. This can be achieved in particular through the...

摘要:We propose that employees sometimes engage in unethical acts with the intent to benefit their organization, its members, or both-a construct we term unethical pro-organizational behavior. We suggest that positive social exchange relationships and organizational identification may lead to unethical pro-organizational behavior indirectly via neutralization, the process by which the moral content of unethical actions is overlooked. We incorporate situational and individual-level constructs as mod...

摘要:We provide evidence that cooperation is a cultural category, and that what it means to cooperate is culturally conditioned. We use a cultural consensus model analysis to assess which types of situations people categorize as cooperation and whether these categorizations are consistent within and across China and the United States. The data support revisiting the role of cognition in mediating cooperative behavior and the means by which culture shapes behavior. The data also support broadening r...

摘要:Research on the effects of social networks on individual status attainment has exploded in recent years, but the results remain equivocal, varying across network structures, types of ties, and outcome variables. The focus in this literature has been on two primary outcomes: performance benefits and rewards (including promotion and compensation). These two types of outcomes have often been conflated, however, despite the fact that high levels of one do not guarantee high levels of the other. We...

摘要:European strategy research is a relatively late entrant into the field of strategic management. This has put the European strategy researchers at a disadvantage vis-a-vis their American counterparts when it comes to competing for scarce publication space in top journals. Many European researchers have responded to the challenge by adopting research paradigms that are dominant in American strategy research, but others argue that Europe should maintain its own distinct research tradition. In thi...

摘要:Null-hypothesis significance tests (NHSTs) have received much criticism, especially during the last two decades. Yet many behavioral and social scientists are unaware that NHSTs have drawn increasing criticism, so this essay summarizes key criticisms. The essay also recommends alternative ways of assessing research findings. Although these recommendations are not complex, they do involve ways of thinking that many behavioral and social scientists find novel. Instead of making NHSTs, researcher...

摘要:Existing research has used real options theory to study corporate venture capital (CVC) investment, yet little work has empirically examined such investment in a comparative setting. In this paper, we begin to address this gap by investigating firms' investment mode choice between CVC and acquisition, which are alternative modes for pursuing external business development and corporate growth. We propose that when exogenous uncertainty elevates the value of real options, firms are more likely t...

摘要:Applying insights from Lefebvre's spatial theory [Lefebvre, H. 1991. The Production of Space. Blackwell, Oxford, UK] to an analysis of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs-recently relocated to its new award-winning building-the present study seeks to offer a more comprehensive model of the role of organizational aesthetics (OA) in identity regulation and culture jamming. Our contribution is threefold. (1) At the empirical/methodological level, this study attempts to simultaneously analyze the...
