  摘要：Complementary assets play an important role in shaping an innovation's commercialization success. In this paper, we broaden the locus of complementarities to examine the role of complementary technologies residing in the business ecosystems that are becoming an important source of value creation for innovating firms. We argue that, on one hand, complementary technologies help innovations create more value for their users. On the other hand, they can also limit the focal innovation's value crea...
• Incentivizing Effort Allocation Through Resource Allocation: Evidence from Scientists' Response to Changes in Funding Policy AI翻译

  摘要：Prior research in management and economics has predominantly focused on how managers or policymakers can shape workers' allocation of effort using output-based or effort-based incentives. In many settings, however, managers may seek to influence workers' effort choices through resource allocation-that is, changing the cost of securing resources for different projects or activities. In this paper, we develop a formal model to investigate how a worker changes the allocation of a fixed amount of ...
• Organizing Entrepreneurial Teams: A Field Experiment on Autonomy over Choosing Teams and Ideas AI翻译

  摘要：Scholars have suggested that autonomy can lead to better entrepreneurial team performance. Yet, there are different types of autonomy, and they come at a cost. We shed light on whether two fundamental organizational design choices-granting teams autonomy to (1) choose project ideas to work on and (2) choose team members to work with- affect performance. We run a field experiment involving 939 students in a lean startup entrepreneurship course over 11 weeks. The aim is to disentangle the separa...
• Gender Differences in Responses to Competitive Organization? A Field Experiment on Differences Between STEM and Non-STEM Fields from an Internet-of-Things Platform AI翻译

  摘要：Prior research, primarily based on laboratory experiments, suggests that females might be more averse to competition than are males; females might, instead, be more inclined toward collaboration. Were these findings to generalize to working-age men and women across the workforce, there could be profound implications for organizational design and personnel management. We report on a field experiment in which 97,678 adults from a wide range of fields of training and career stages were invited to...
• When Do Evaluators Publicly Express Their Legitimacy Judgments? An Inquiry into the Role of Peer Endorsement and Evaluative Mode AI翻译

  摘要：Legitimacy theory describes how individuals evaluate an organization's behavior, form propriety evaluations, and subsequently decide whether to publicly express their legitimacy judgments. These individual judgments are influenced by sources of collective validity, for example, from recognized authority or from peer endorsement. Whereas most research on this topic has focused on the effects of authority, we study the influence of peer endorsement on the public expression of legitimacy judgment...
• In Institutions We Trust? Trust in Government and the Allocation of Entrepreneurial Intentions AI翻译
  作者：Eesley, Charles; Lee, Yong Suk
  作者单位：Stanford University; University of Notre Dame
  摘要：Whether entrepreneurship generates economic growth depends on the institutional environment due to its impact on the mix of productive and unproductive entrepreneurship in the economy. The incentive structure embedded in each society affects whether talented people become entrepreneurs and potentially, the extent to which they engage in more productive forms of entrepreneurship. We examine how trust in institutions affects the entrepreneurial intentions of potentially productive entrepreneurs....
• For Better and Worse: How Proactive Personality Alters the Strain Responses to Challenge and Hindrance Stressors AI翻译

  摘要：Employees with a proactive personality tend to show exceptional initiative and perseverance, suggesting that they are relatively impervious to stressors. Yet some evidence suggests that proactive personality may exacerbate the effect of stressors on strain. In this study, we clarify these conflicting ideas by systematically distinguishing between different types of chronic work stressors. Integrating the conservation-of-resources model and the challenge-hindrance stressor framework, we suggest...
• To Stem the Tide: Organizational Climate and the Locus of Knowledge Transfer AI翻译
  作者：Di Stefano, Giada; Micheli, Maria Rita
  作者单位：Bocconi University; IESEG School of Management
  摘要：Prior work has maintained that organizations benefit from managing the transfer of proprietary knowledge. Transfer is often advantageous within organizational boundaries but may be harmful across them, because it might erode competitive advantage. Hence, we ask: How can organizations affect the direction in which knowledge flows? We examine the role of organizational climate as a governing mechanism for knowledge transfer. Our empirical strategy consists of a mixed-methods approach leveraging ...
• Delays Impair Learning and Can Drive Convergence to Inefficient Strategies AI翻译
  作者：Rahmandad, Hazhir; Gary, Michael Shayne
  作者单位：Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT); University of New South Wales Sydney
  摘要：With so many possible choices, why do managers adopt the strategies they do? We identify delays between adopting a strategy and observing the full implications of that choice as a critical factor influencing strategic choices. Using a simulation of a service firm, we conduct two behavioral experiments to investigate how delays interact with outcome uncertainty to shape learning, strategy adaptation, and performance outcomes. Two mechanisms emerge from how different subject groups perceive, rea...
• Dear CEO and Board: How Activist Investors' Confidence in Tone Influences Campaign Success AI翻译
  作者：Brauer, Matthias; Wiersema, Margarethe; Binder, Philipp

  摘要：Activist hedge funds represent the most potent form of financial activism. Yet we do not fully understand how these activist investors, despite holding only a small stake in target firms, are able to influence management and the board to acquiesce to their demands, especially given the large uncertainty that their demands will improve shareholder value. Building on impression management (IM) theory, we propose that activist investors who express their concerns and demands with high confidence ...
