• Wisdom in the Wild: Generalization and Adaptive Dynamics AI翻译
  作者：Choi, Jaeho; Levinthal, Daniel

  摘要：Learning from experience is a central mechanism underlying organizational capabilities. However, in examining how organizations learn from past experiences, much of the literature has focused on situations in which actors are facing a repeated event. We direct attention to a relatively underexamined question: when an organization experiences a largely idiosyncratic series of events, at what level of granularity should these events, and the associated actions and outcomes, be encoded? How does ...
• Cultural Roots of Entrepreneurship: Evidence from Second-Generation Immigrants AI翻译

  摘要：Does national culture influence entrepreneurship? Given that entrepreneurship and the economic, formal institutional, and cultural characteristics of nations are deeply intertwined and co-vary, it is difficult to isolate the effect of culture on entrepreneurship. In this study, we examine the self-employment choices of second-generation immigrants who were born, educated, and currently live in one country, but were raised by parents stemming from another country. We argue that entrepreneurship...
• When Less Is More: How Statistical Discrimination Can Decrease Predictive Accuracy br AI翻译
  作者：Csaszar, Felipe A.; Jue-Rajasingh, Diana; Jensen, Michael

  摘要：Discrimination is a pervasive aspect of modern society and human relations. Statistical discrimination theory suggests that profit-maximizing employers should use all the information about job candidates, including information about group membership (e.g., race or gender), to make accurate predictions. In contrast, research on heuristics in psychology suggests that using less information can be better. Drawing on research on heuristics, we show that even small amounts of inconsistency can make...
• Collaborations and Innovation in Partitioned Industries: An Analysis of US Feature Film Coproductions AI翻译
  作者：Jia, Ruo; Lewis, Demetrius; Negro, Giacomo
  作者单位：University of California System; University of California Riverside; Emory University
  摘要：In partitioned industries, a small number of generalist organizations occupy the center of the market, whereas a much larger number of specialists populate the periphery. The role of collaborations within and across the center-periphery boundary in these industries has been underexplored. We propose that hybrid collaborations between organizations in the center and periphery-combining the broad resource base of generalists with the focused knowledge of specialists-encourage product innovation ...
• Settlement Constellations and the Dynamics of Fields Formed Around Social and Environmental Issues AI翻译
  作者：Buchanan, Sean; Zietsma, Charlene; Matten, Dirk

  摘要：Firms are increasingly responding to social and environmental issues in highly complex and heterogeneous organizational fields that transcend national boundaries. Yet, we still have a limited understanding of how these fields are structured and the implications of structural variation on how issues are addressed over time. We advance theory in this area by arguing that issue fields are characterized by varying settlement constellations that structure these fields. We develop a typology of thre...
• Who Pays the Cancer Tax? Patients' Narratives in a Movement to Reduce Their Invisible Work AI翻译
  作者：Valentine, Melissa A.; Asch, Steven M.; Ahn, Esther
  摘要：Many studies examine the division of labor inside organizations. Yet there is also an expected division of labor between organizations and their clients, which research to date has tended to ignore or has treated as static and easily accepted by both parties. How might clients change the expected division of labor with a service organization? We developed this question while studying an academic cancer center (ACC), where patient activists led a movement to bring to light the burdensome invisi...
• Prior Experience of Managers and Maladaptive Responses to Performance Feedback: Evidence from Mutual Funds AI翻译
  作者：Gaba, Vibha; Lee, Sunkee; Meyer-Doyle, Philipp; Zhao-Ding, Amy

  摘要：In this study, we examine how the prior experiences of decision makers systematically influence their assessment of and responses to negative performance feedback. We posit that, although greater and more specialized experiences enable managers to build relevant knowledge and expertise in specific domains, they also make them overconfident in their abilities and strategies. Such experience-induced overconfidence further leads to distortions in the performance assessment process, hindering a fi...
• Triadic Advocacy Work AI翻译
  作者：Jackson, Summer Rachel; Kellogg, Katherine Cissel
  作者单位：Harvard University; Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
  摘要：Scholars of street-level bureaucracy and institutional research focus primarily on the relationships between advocates and their larger bureaucratic and social systems, assuming that advocates have little need to satisfy their beneficiaries. We find otherwise in our two-year ethnographic study of public defenders advocating for disadvantaged clients in interactions with district attorneys. In our analysis of 82 advocacy opportunities, we demonstrate that, when existing bureaucratic and social ...
• Context and Aggregation: An Experimental Study of Bias and Discrimination in Organizational Decisions AI翻译

  摘要：This paper addresses a notable gap at the intersection of organizational economics and organization science: how does organizational context influence aggregation of individual behavior in organizational decisions? Using basic centralized versus decentralized organizational structures as building blocks for our experimental design, we examine whether assignment of organizational positions, incentive schemes, and structural configuration induce endogenous adaptation in the form of change in res...
• Powerlessness Also Corrupts: Lower Power Increases Self-Promotional Lying AI翻译
  作者：Li, Huisi Jessica; Chen, Ya-Ru; Hildreth, John Angus D.
  作者单位：University System of Georgia; Georgia Institute of Technology; Cornell University
  摘要：The popular maxim holds that power corrupts, and research to date supports the view that power increases self-interested unethical behavior. However, we predict the opposite effect when unethical behavior, specifically lying, helps an individual self-promote: lower rather than higher power increases self-promotional lying. Drawing from compensatory consumption theory, we propose that this effect occurs because lower power people feel less esteemed in their organizations than do higher power pe...
