  摘要：Exaptation, the emergence of latent functionality in existing artifacts, is an underexplored mechanism of novelty generation in innovation. In this paper, we measure the frequency of exaptation in the pharmaceutical industry. We find that about 42% of new functions derived from existing drugs have an exaptive nature. We think that this constitutes the first measure of exaptation in any industry. We also link exaptation with radical innovation and find that most radical innovations in our sampl...
• Gender and Negative Network Ties: Difficult Work Relationships Within and Across Gender AI翻译
  作者：Merluzzi, Jennifer

  摘要：This study applies a social network approach toward understanding gender and negative work relationships. Given that work is increasingly organized using diverse, informal work groups inside firms, we stand to benefit from better knowledge of whether and how negative interactions in the workplace may be gendered. Using rich network data collected inside two firms, this study examines the networks of professional managers citing a difficult work relationship (negative tie) revealing gender simi...
• When She Brings Home the Job Status: Wives' Job Status, Status Leakage, and Marital Instability AI翻译

  摘要：Women are increasingly represented in high status organizational positions. While the advancement of women into high status roles offers them many organizational benefits, the spillover and crossover effects of these high status positions on their marital relationships remain under explored. In this study, we focus on potential costs to the marital relationship when women in high status positions hold higher job status roles than their husbands. First, we examine the spillover effects of wives...
• The Effect of Organizational Atypicality on Reference Group Selection and Performance Evaluation AI翻译

  摘要：Recent research shows that audiences sometimes respond to organizational performance in ways that seem anomalous according to prior theory. In this paper we propose that variations in the extent to which an organization conforms to the norms and expectations of a known organizational category can affect the way evaluators construct reference groups, and subsequently shape their responses to organizational performance. In an experiment on investing in and evaluating the performance of a certain...
• The Paradox of Openness and Value Protection Strategies: Effect of Extramural R&D on Innovative Performance AI翻译

  摘要：The emphasis in firms on extramural research and development (R&D), involving increased engagement with external entities in the conduct of research, can also result in knowledge leakage. Knowledge leaks can undermine firm competitiveness, and to prevent this, firms deploy various isolating mechanisms to protect their knowledge. Integrating insights from the resource-based view and evolutionary theory, we hypothesize an inverted curvilinear relationship between extramural R&D and innovation an...
• Hereafter: How Crises Shape Communities Through Learning and Institutional Legacies AI翻译
  作者：Greve, Henrich R.; Yue, Lori Qingyuan
  作者单位：INSEAD Business School; University of Southern California
  摘要：Community differences in organizing capacity have been attributed to cohesion and trust among population members and from population members to organizations and have been seen as an enduring feature of communities. The experience of a crisis, and the handling of the crisis, can be seen as a test of cohesion that verifies community support of organizations or proves its absence. Using data on two bank panics 14 years apart, we explore whether a crisis event affects whether banks in a community...
• Evading the Boomerang Effect: Using the Grant-Back Clause to Further Generative Appropriability from Technology Licensing Deals AI翻译

  摘要：Technology licensing agreements potentially can create future appropriability problems. Drawing on the appropriability literature, we argue that the inclusion of a grantback clause in technology licensing agreements is an attempt to balance the gains from and protection of the focal firms' technologies. We hypothesize that the closer the licensed technology is to the licensor's core patented technologies, the more likely the licensing agreement will include a grant-back clause, while the close...
• Partner Selection in R&D Collaborations: Effects of Affiliations with Venture Capitalists AI翻译
  作者：Reuer, Jeffrey J.; Devarakonda, Ramakrishna
  作者单位：University of Colorado System; University of Colorado Boulder; Chinese University of Hong Kong
  摘要：This paper extends information economics to the literature on alliance partner selection by demonstrating how venture capitalists (VCs) can facilitate research and development (R&D) collaborations. We investigate a new role for VCs-information intermediation-that can enable R&D partnerships between entrepreneurial ventures that lack knowledge of each other's technological resources. In contrast to the more diffuse signaling benefits entrepreneurial ventures obtain by affiliating with prominent...
• Blurring the Boundaries: The Interplay of Gender and Local Communities in the Commercialization of Social Ventures AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the critical role of gender in the commercialization of social ventures. We argue that cultural beliefs about what is perceived to be appropriate work for each gender influence howfounders of social ventures incorporate commercial activity into their ventures. Specifically, we argue and show that although cultural beliefs that disassociatewomen from commercial activity may result in female social venture founders being less likely to use commercial activity than their male ...
• Complementarities and Coordination: Implications for Governance Mode and Performance of Multiproduct Firms AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Joon Mahn; Kapoor, Rahul
  作者单位：Purdue University System; Purdue University; University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：We explore the fit between a firm's product portfolio strategy and its governance mode with respect to complementary activities that underlie its product offering. We view firm's governance choice through the lens of orchestrating complementary activities that entail multiple interrelated and often simultaneously occurring transactions. Our key premise is that a broader product portfolio, while offering benefits through the bundle of complementary activities, raises the coordination costs for ...
