摘要：In a world where five stars have become the standard for evaluating many transactions and consumers turn to the crowd for guidance when making a wide variety of choices, organizations cannot dismiss online reviews as inconsequential. And whereas we know a lot about how organizations respond to reviews online, there has been a lack of systematic evidence showing how organizations behave in response to online feedback once their screens are turned off. This paper leverages a novel combination of...

摘要：Do investors value firm inventions that recombine distant knowledge across domain boundaries? Analyzing more than 1.5 million firm patents, we find that, despite its strong association with long-term technological impact beyond the local domain, distant recombination of domain knowledge contributes less to a patent's market valuation when compared to local recombination, thereby inducing a misalignment between valuation and impact. This valuation disadvantage is especially pronounced when dist...

摘要：This paper investigates how the gender composition of potential heirs influences technology adoption decisions in family-owned agricultural microenterprises. Drawing on primary field data from three waves of panel surveys of 734 rural households in Ethiopia (2013-2019), we exploit the exogenous microshock of a newborn child's gender to isolate its causal impact on farmers' uptake of new technologies. We find that the arrival of a son- rather than a daughter-significantly increases the likeliho...

摘要：A consistent finding in research on cultural markets is that innovation often involves recombining stylistic features across categorical boundaries. Cultural products routinely borrow features from other categories while maintaining their primary classification. However, we observe considerable variance in outcomes: Some borrowing achieves remarkable success, whereas others fail spectacularly. Existing theories of optimal differentiation and category spanning tell us that balancing familiarity...

摘要：Research in advanced economies shows that street protests can indirectly influence untargeted firms through informational spillovers. We propose that, in developing economies, the indirect effects of street protests extend beyond information cues to include a resource spillover effect. Specifically, local officials may be motivated to defuse or redirect the momentum of street protests by appealing to constituents' aspirations for economic well-being. This middle-ground approach sits between sy...

摘要：Although scholars across several disciplines have noted the posttruth turn in public discourse, institutionalists provide little insight into the use of lying as a form of strategic discourse in contesting institutionalized practices, values, and beliefs. We address this gap by developing theory about the role that lies play in the discursive contestation of issue fields. We posit the concept of strategic lies (i.e., lies intended to manipulate the institutionalized practices, values, and beli...

摘要：To stay competitive, organizations set up boundary-spanning teams (BSTs) to learn from external partners. However, collaborating across boundaries is challenging and BSTs often face collaboration failure, defined as divergence from desired or expected collaboration goals. Given the costs associated with such failures, they usually evoke negative emotions which often lead to blaming the external partner and a collaboration breakdown, undermining joint learning from failure. This raises the ques...

摘要：This piece distills lessons for increasing the impact of social science research based on our work at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Applied Cooperation Initiative, which facilitates collaborations between social scientists and practitioners to promote real-world prosocial behaviors. We describe an iterative model of collaboration- intervention, randomized trial, publication, and press-that has sustained a robust research pipeline, broadening the dissemination and application of fin...

摘要：Negotiations have consequences for people's career trajectories, wealth, and well-being. Yet we still have a limited understanding of how demographic characteristics such as sexual orientation and race influence distributive negotiation outcomes, much less the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. To contribute to (1) our understanding of how identity influences negotiations and (2) research on intersectionality, we test how race (Black versus East Asian versus White) and sexual or...

摘要：Social control agents often struggle to deter organizational deviance. We propose a theory of status-amplified deterrence wherein enforcement's deterrent effects are amplified when carried out against high-status organizational actors. First, this enforcement is interpreted as willingness and ability for far-reaching enforcement. Next, amplified deterrence occurs as these episodes become widely known through (1) extensive media coverage and (2) the marketing efforts of third-party compliance a...
