• External Interfaces or Internal Processes? Market Positioning and Divergent Professionalization Paths in Young Ventures AI翻译
  作者：DeSantola, Alicia; Gulati, Ranjay; Zhelyazkov, Pavel, I

  摘要：We explore how the initial market positioning of entrepreneurial ventures shapes how they professionalize over time, focusing specifically on the development of functional roles. In contrast to existing literature, which presumes a uniform march toward professionalization as ventures scale and complete developmental milestones, we advance a contingent perspective, distinguishing between the development of external interface functions (marketing & sales and customer development) and internal pr...
• Does Investor Gender Matter for the Success of Female Entrepreneurs? Gender Homophily and the Stigma of Incompetence in Entrepreneurial Finance AI翻译
  作者：Snellman, Kaisa; Solal, Isabelle
  作者单位：INSEAD Business School; ESSEC Business School
  摘要：Female support of other women has been put forth as a remedy to the gender gap across many domains. Yet the potential costs associated with gender homophily are not well understood. We propose that homophily aggravates negative gender bias in evaluation. Focusing on the context of entrepreneurship, we theorize that future investors will discount a female entrepreneur's competence as the key factor in an early-stage investment decision, when the investment comes from a female investor. Conseque...
• Driven to Distraction: The Unintended Consequences of Organizational Learning from Failure Caused by Human Error AI翻译
  作者：Park, Brian; Lehman, David W.; Ramanujam, Rangaraj

  摘要：Research to date offers inconclusive and even conflicting evidence regarding whether organizations learn from failure. The present study sheds new light on this debate by highlighting a previously overlooked factor: whether the failure was caused by human error. In attempts to learn from failure, organizational members tend to focus on simplified representations of experiences and, in doing so, distinguish between failures attributed to human errors versus other causes. Our core thesis is that...
• From Compliance to Progress: A Sensemaking Perspective on the Governance of Corruption AI翻译
  作者：Schembera, Stefan; Haack, Patrick; Scherer, Andreas Georg
  作者单位：Radboud University Nijmegen; University of Lausanne; University of Zurich
  摘要：The governance of corruption is increasingly important in a global business environment involving ever more frequent transactions across diverse institutional contexts. Previous scholarship has theorized a fundamental tension between the enforcement of organizational compliance and the achievement of social ends, finding that efforts to remedy policy-practice decoupling in the governance of corruption and other complex global issues can exacerbate means-ends decoupling. However, these studies ...
• When Does the Pre-entry Experience of New Entrants Improve Their Performance? A Meta-Analytical Investigation of Critical Moderators AI翻译

  摘要：Although pre-entry experience is widely regarded as a critical asset that positively influences new entrant performance, empirical support is mixed. To address this inconsistency, we conduct a meta-analysis of the empirical findings in 272 papers. We draw theoretically on the organizational learning literature to argue that the pre-entry experience-new entrant performance relationship is contingent on the characteristics of pre-entry experience, the environmental context of the new entrant, an...
• The Impact of Bribery Relationships on Firm Growth in Transition Economies AI翻译
  作者：Jung, Hyun Ju; Lee, Seung-Hyun
  作者单位：Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST); University of Texas System; University of Texas Dallas
  摘要：This study explores how bribery affects firm growth by focusing on the asymmetric dependence of firms on government resources and services. We conceptualize bribery as relationships through which bribery requests require firms to frequently interact with rent-seeking government officials. Through bribery relationships, such officials extort firms beyond the exchange of bribe money for preferential treatment, depriving acquiescing firms of time and effort and thereby imposing hidden costs that ...
• The Road Not Taken: Technological Uncertainty and the Evaluation of Innovations AI翻译
  作者：Tan, David
  作者单位：University of Washington; University of Washington Seattle
  摘要：When venturing into unfamiliar areas of technology, inventors face ex ante technological uncertainty, that is many possible alternative technological paths going forward and limited guidance from existing technological knowledge for predicting the likelihood that a given path will successfully result in an invention. I theorize, however, that this ex ante technological uncertainty becomes less apparent when evaluating inventions in hindsight. When one knows that a given technological path turn...
• When (Non)Differences Make a Difference: The Roles of Demographic Diversity and Ideological Homogeneity in Overcoming Ideologically Biased Decision Making AI翻译
  作者：Solomon, Brittany C.; Hall, Matthew E. K.
  作者单位：University of Notre Dame; University of Notre Dame
  摘要：Increasing demographic diversity is undoubtedly important and can aid in debiasing decision makers. Yet, the promises of demographic diversity are not always realized due to social integration problems. We consider why and for whom differences combined with homogeneity make a difference for groups in terms of integratively complex thinking and ideological decision making. Although research has shown that decision makers often rely on political biases, that work has not addressed when and why d...
• Variations in the Corporate Social Responsibility-Performance Relationship in Emerging Market Firms AI翻译
  作者：Cuervo-Cazurra, Alvaro; Purkayastha, Saptarshi; Ramaswamy, Kannan

  摘要：Corporate social responsibility (CSR) and its impact on performance have generated a debate that has evolved across several perspectives (shareholder, stakeholder, resource-based, and contingency). Building on the resource-based and contingency perspectives, we shed newlight on this debate by analyzing the impact of CSR on performance in emerging market firms, advancing the idea that CSR is a mechanism that helps address market and government failures. We first argue that CSR's three constitue...
• A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats: The Effects of Common Ownership on Corporate Social Responsibility AI翻译
  作者：DesJardine, Mark R.; Grewal, Jody; Viswanathan, Kala
  作者单位：Dartmouth College; University of Toronto; Harvard University
  摘要：Common owners face an incredible investment challenge: managing systematic risk. Because common owners hold shares in multiple firms across an industry, an action (or inaction) by one firm that affects industry peers is felt more severely by common own-ers than by non-common owners. Research has largely focused on common owners' role in orchestrating competitive dynamics among their portfolio firms, with almost no empirical investigation of how common owners manage systematic risk. Drawing on ...
