摘要：Entrepreneurs often skillfully leverage symbolic actions to manage impressions and gain acceptance for their innovations. Impression management can generate interest but also heighten expectations beyond an innovation's capabilities, creating a gap between entrepreneurs' symbolic presentations and an innovation's performance. To convince critical audiences, entrepreneurs need to not just manage impressions but also show how their innovations will integrate and work in situ. Yet, little researc...

摘要：As firms increasingly host online communities, they need to mediate across the divergent interests of community members and the firm. One way of addressing this is to establish a formal governance structure referred to as a boundary organization (BO). Yet, how to design such an organization is a puzzle. If a BO is effective, it is likely to reshape firm-community relations and thus needs to be adjusted to respond to this change. Therefore, BOs must constantly adapt to the boundaries they span ...

摘要：One of the most important features on which to judge the merit of any academic paper is the strength of its theory. Although commentary about what constitutes strong theory is widespread, there is no holistic account of the full range of existing perspectives. To address this oversight, I construct a typology composed of six dimensions of strong theory: importance, interestingness, actionability, generality, simplicity, and accuracy. This typology provides a lens to examine a vexing problem: t...

摘要：In ecosystems characterized by distributed authority, each firm competes with others to shape the ecosystem's rules to its advantage while navigating complex interorganizational interdependencies. This creates a coordination problem best exemplified within consensus standards-setting organizations, where different firms present technical proposals and attempt to shape the specifications that dictate how the ecosystem's technological components must work together. In this paper, we examine what...

摘要：We propose a theoretical framework and provide empirical evidence on how resource complementarity or substitutability between entrepreneurs and seed investors drives selection and value creation in the context of high-tech startups. Specifically, we argue that seed investors specialized in training programs-startup accelerators-are the ideal match for entrepreneurial teams equipped with strong technological competencies but lacking business knowledge. On the other hand, when entrepreneurs with...

摘要：Two-sided matching algorithms have been deployed at an increasing rate in labor markets all over the world in part because they can result in more equitable labor market matches. To achieve this desirable result, institutions using these algorithms often engage in a translation process to provide advice to market participants about how to optimally interact with the algorithm. We draw on theories of gendered agency to theorize that men may be more likely than women to engage in independent adv...

摘要：We introduce and study the concept of a jagged technology frontier to describe the uneven impact of artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities, where AI assistance improves performance for some tasks but worsens it for others, even within the same knowledge workflow and with a seemingly similar level of difficulty. In collaboration with the global management consulting firm Boston Consulting Group, we have developed realistic management consulting tasks and examined the human performance implic...

摘要：We examine the formal authority structure in multisubsidiary firms, focusing on comanaged subsidiaries owned by two or more subsidiaries that belong to the same firm. We argue that a subsidiary is more likely to be comanaged when its need for intrafirm coordination and thus, the need for information processing are high. Accordingly, the likelihood that a subsidiary will be comanaged by other subsidiaries is positively associated with the extent of its relatedness and multimarket contact. Furth...

摘要：This study examines the role of managerial structural knowledge in postacquisition integration (PAI) and its association with the retention of target firm managers. Although retaining top managers is often linked to improved acquisition outcomes, the conditions under which their retention may support integration remain underexplored. Drawing on organizational modularity theory, we theorize that structural similarity between acquiring and target firms is associated with higher managerial retent...
