• Legitimating Illegitimate Practices: How Data Analysts Compromised Their Standards to Promote Quantification AI翻译
  作者：Stice-Lusvardi, Ryan; Hinds, Pamela J.; Valentine, Melissa

  摘要：Prior studies that examine how new expertise becomes integrated into organizations have shown that different occupations work to legitimate their new expertise to develop credibility and deference from other organizational groups. In this study, we similarly examine the work that an expert occupation did to legitimate their expertise; however, in this case, they were legitimating practices that they actually considered illegitimate. We report findings from our 20-month ethnography of data anal...
• How Paradoxes Shape Members and the Member-Organization Relationship: An Identity Threat Perspective AI翻译

  摘要：Organizations and their members not only respond to paradoxes, but also can be shaped by paradoxes in potentially profound yet highly heterogeneous ways. In our study, we adopt an identity threat perspective to explicate how paradox dynamics can affect members' sense of self as professionals and their organizational identification as a key facet of the member-organization relationship. The transformational change of a leading public university launching a for-profit business school in Europe i...
• Hiding in Plain Sight: Co-Enacting the Sustainable Worker Schema in a Consulting Firm AI翻译
  作者：Heaphy, Emily D.; Trefalt, Spela

  摘要：This inductive study of 44 consultants in a prominent consulting firm examines how consultants set work-life boundaries without getting stigmatized and how they develop their workplace relationships into sources of help for this process. Within this organization, dominated by the ideal worker norm, we found a hidden, self-sustaining network of consultants who delivered excellent work while violating the ideal worker norm without stigmatization. Their way of working was based on a coherent set ...
• Learning Strategic Representations: Exploring the Effects of Taking a Strategy Course AI翻译

  摘要：Despite the popularity of strategy courses and the fact that managers make consequential decisions using ideas they learn in such courses, few studies examine the learning outcomes of taking a strategy course-a research gap most likely the result of the methodological challenges of measuring these outcomes in realistic ways. This paper provides a large-sample study of what individuals learn from taking a strategy course and how those learning outcomes depend on individual characteristics. We e...
• A Part of, or Apart from, Me?: Linking Dynamic Founder-Venture Identity Relationships to New Venture Strategy AI翻译
  作者：Crosina, Eliana; Pratt, Michael G.; Lifshitz, Hila
  作者单位：Babson College; Boston College; University of Warwick
  摘要：Based on a three-year inductive field study of first-time founders, we reveal the dynamic identity relationships that tie founders to their ventures: what such relationships comprise, how they evolve over time, and with what strategic implications for the development of new businesses. Specifically, we found that such relationships comprise both identification and construals, which capture the degree to which founders saw their ventures as self-defining and founder-venture psychological distan...
• We Fly Congress: Market Actions as Corporate Political Activity in the US Airline Industry AI翻译

  摘要：The literature on corporate political activity (CPA) generally views nonmarket actions aimed at influencing political actors (e.g., lobbying or campaign contributions) as related but separate activities from market actions. This study demonstrates how firms' core market actions (e.g., market entry or geographic expansion) can function as CPA. We theorize two mechanisms through which firms leverage market actions as CPA: pork (i.e., ones that primarily benefit a politician's constituents) and p...
• Conflict, Chaos, and the Art of Institutional Design AI翻译
  作者：Ganz, Scott C.
  作者单位：Georgetown University; American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research
  摘要：The metaphor of an organization as a garbage can is often invoked as a playful insult. However, as was recognized early on by management theorists studying garbage can ideas, the unpredictability arising from garbage can decision making has the potential to be adaptively rational for organizations facing complex task environments. The chaos produced by preference conflict and fluid participation in collective decision making can aid in search by enabling organizations to escape local performan...
• Unlocking the Inventive Potential of Knowledge Distance in Teams: How Intrateam Network Configurations Provide a Key AI翻译

  摘要：Increasingly, teams consist of members from widely distinct knowledge domains. This article studies the extent to which research and development (R&D) teams can transform their members' different technological knowledge into impactful inventions. Although teams composed of members with distinct expertise can create impactful new technologies, in order to realize this potential, team members must have the ability and motivation to integrate each other's knowledge. This article argues that the a...
• On Habit and Organizing: A Transactional Perspective Relating Firms, Consumers, and Social Institutions AI翻译
  作者：Farjoun, Moshe; Mahmood, Nudrat
  作者单位：York University - Canada
  摘要：Habits and routines are foundational to several organizational theories. Considering organizational members to be predominately employees, established habit-based models recognize how these members' habits help build organizations and are shaped by them. Departing from this traditional, internal focus, our paper highlights an important aspect of organizing, which has been relatively overlooked by established habit-based models, namely, how firms engineer consumer habits to their advantage and,...
• Inter-Unit Executive Redeployment in Multiunit Firms: Evidence from Korean Business Groups AI翻译

  摘要：Building on the literature on resource reconfiguration theory, we formulate a new theoretical framework that explains how executive redeployment within a diversified firm transfers different types of human capital embodied in executives to different units facing specific business challenges. In the empirical context of Korean business groups, we find that executives with unit-specific human capital, like turnaround experience, competitive experience, and international expansion experience, are...
