• Rigor and relevance in organization studies: Idea migration and academic journal evolution AI翻译
  作者：Daft, Richard L.; Lewin, Arie Y.

  摘要：This perspective paper addresses the issues of rigor and relevance in organizational studies in the context of idea migration and journal evolution. We argue that creeping parochialism can happen to any journal, which reflects an evolving narrowness within boundaries of academic subcommunities. Evidence suggests that ideas do migrate across academic subcommunities, although the underlying process is not well understood and the idea flow is not symmetrical. Two kinds of knowledge relevance are ...
• Product demography of de novo and de alio firms in the optical disk drive industry, 1983-1999 AI翻译

  摘要：Little theory and research addresses the ways organizational context affects the demography of products. We examine this question here by focusing on an organization's mode of market entry. Specifically, we explore differences between firms entering a market de novo (start-up) and those entering de alio (diversification from another market). We analyze all products ever shipped in the worldwide optical disk drive (ODD) industry, 1983-1999. We find an almost paradoxical empirical pattern, where...

  摘要：Alliance research has traditionally focused on structural and relational aspects of the networks in which firms are situated, paying less attention to the inherent characteristics of their partners. This study introduces the notion of alliance portfolio internationalization (API), which refers to the degree of foreignness of partners in a firm's collection of immediate alliance relationships. We develop a framework to explain how API impacts firm performance. We suggest that as a firm's API in...
• Drivers and performance outcomes of trust in international strategic alliances: The role of organizational complexity AI翻译

  摘要：T rust between partners has become a key construct in inter firm relationship management. However, elucidating the precise nature of the trust-performance link in international strategic alliances remains an important theoretical and empirical challenge for management scholars. Discordant findings evident in existing alliance research raise concerns that interpartner trust does not always enhance venture performance. To investigate this issue, we build and test a theoretical framework that int...
• Antecedents and outcomes of retaliation against whistleblowers: Gender differences and power relationships AI翻译

  摘要：Whistle-blowing represents an influence attempt in which organization member(s) try to persuade other members to cease wrongdoing; sometimes they fail; sometimes they succeed; sometimes they suffer reprisal. We investigated whether women experienced more retaliation than men, testing propositions derived from theories about gender differences and power variables, and using data from military and civilian employees of a large U. S. base. Being female was correlated with perceived retaliation. R...
• Alternative origins to interorganizational trust: An interdependence perspective on the shadow of the past and the shadow of the future AI翻译

  摘要：Despite the widespread acceptance of trust as an informal governance institution, our understanding of its origins is nascent. Our review of the literature identified two distinct explanations: Trust emerges from either a shadow of the past (i.e., prior history) or a shadow of the future (i.e., expectations of continuity). In this paper we develop and empirically examine a third perspective: The potential interdependence of these two explanations. Our results strongly endorse this third perspe...
• Knowledge flows within multinational corporations: Explaining subsidiary isolation and its performance implications AI翻译
  作者：Monteiro, L. Felipe; Arvidsson, Niklas; Birkinshaw, Julian

  摘要：Applying a new theoretical and empirical approach to intrafirm knowledge transfers, this paper provides some initial insight to the little-researched phenomenon of why some subsidiaries are isolated from knowledge-transfer activities within the multinational corporation (MNC). Knowledge transfer is framed as a problemistic search process initiated by the recipient unit. We show that knowledge flows from units that are perceived to be highly capable to units that perceive themselves to be highl...
• Performance implications of firm resource interactions in the acquisition of R&D-intensive firms AI翻译

  摘要：We explore the role of resource interactions in explaining firm performance in the context of acquisitions. Although we confirm that acquisitions do not lead to higher performance on average, we do find that complementary resource profiles in target and acquiring firms are associated with abnormal returns. Specifically, we find that acquiring firm marketing resources and target firm technology resources positively reinforce ( complement) each other; meanwhile, acquiring and target firm technol...
• Interorganizational Trust, Governance Choice, and Exchange Performance AI翻译
  作者：Gulati, Ranjay; Nickerson, Jack A.
  作者单位：Northwestern University; Washington University (WUSTL)
  摘要：This paper looks at when and how preexisting interorganizational trust influences the choice of governance and in turn the performance of exchange relationships. We theorize that preexisting interorganizational trust complements the choice of governance mode (make, ally, or buy) and also promotes substitution effects on governance mode choice while impacting exchange performance. We evaluate hypotheses using a novel three-stage switching regression model and a sample of 222 component-sourcing ...
• Making Doubt Generative: Rethinking the Role of Doubt in the Research Process AI翻译

  摘要：In this paper, we want to shift the attention of our scholarly community to the living condition of doubt and its underappreciated significance for the theorizing process. Drawing on Peirce's notion of abduction, we articulate the relationship between doubt and belief in the everyday imaginative work central to theorizing, and establish the role played by doubt as abduction's engine in these efforts. We propose three strategic principles for engaging and using doubt in the research process. In...
