• Interdiscursive struggles: Managing the co-existence of the conventional and open strategy discourse AI翻译
  作者：Langenmayr, Theresa; Seidl, David; Splitter, Violetta
  作者单位：University of Zurich; University of Oxford
  摘要：Research SummaryOpen strategy is a new macro discourse on strategy that differs fundamentally from the conventional strategy discourse. In this paper, we examine how actors deal with the co-existence of the two discourses, given their conflicting nature. For this purpose, we draw on a longitudinal, in-depth case study of an international finance firm that introduced open strategy alongside the conventional strategy discourse that had shaped their strategy work in the past. We find that strateg...
• Resource redeployment as an entry advantage in resource-poor settings AI翻译

  摘要：Research SummaryScarcity of productive factors poses a challenge for firms entering underdeveloped regions. We theorize that incumbent firms can overcome scarcity of skilled human capital in local labor markets by redeploying workers from existing units. We predict that redeployment is more valuable when factor markets exhibit large differences in resource scarcity. Redeployment is also more valuable when output is highly sensitive to worker skill and is responsive to complementarities between...
• Making the most of AI and machine learning in organizations and strategy research: Supervised machine learning, causal inference, and matching models AI翻译
  作者：Rathje, Jason; Katila, Riitta; Reineke, Philipp

  摘要：We spotlight the use of machine learning in two-stage matching models to deal with sample selection bias. Recent advances in machine learning have unlocked new empirical possibilities for inductive theorizing. In contrast, the opportunities to use machine learning in regression studies involving large-scale data with many covariates and a causal claim are still less well understood. Our core contribution is to guide researchers in the use of machine learning approaches to choosing matching var...
• Giving up learning from failures? An examination of learning from one's own failures in the context of heart surgeons AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Sunkee; Park, Jisoo
  作者单位：Carnegie Mellon University; Clark University
  摘要：Research SummaryWe reassess existing theories on individual failure learning and propose an inverted-U-shaped relationship between an individual's accumulated failures and learning, based on a theoretical framework that jointly considers the opportunity, motivation, and perceived ability to learn. Using data on 307 California-based cardiothoracic surgeons who performed coronary artery bypass graft surgeries in 133 hospitals between 2003 and 2018, we find compelling evidence that individuals re...
• Performance metrics in strategy research: A new metric and method for assessing dynamic value AI翻译
  作者：Souder, David; Shaver, J. Myles; Harris, Jared; Alrashdan, Abdullatif

  摘要：Research SummaryWe discuss two research design considerations that jointly influence the choice of financial performance metrics in strategy research: (a) expected temporal payoff of the strategic choice and (b) source of variation invoked in the research design (i.e., within-firm vs. between-firm comparisons). We map existing performance metrics commonly used in the research literature to these considerations, and highlight the lack of performance metrics well suited for the combination of st...
• Finding a road less traveled: Combining analysis and intuition to develop novel problem formulations AI翻译
  作者：Park, Chan Hyung
  作者单位：Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology Domain; ETH Zurich
  摘要：Research SummaryNovel formulations of strategic problems are key to innovation and exploration. Conventional wisdom suggests that intuitive thinking, rather than rational-analytic thinking, facilitates novel problem formulations. This article proposes that intuitive thinking is insufficient and that novel formulations instead depend on sequencing rational-analytic and intuitive thinking across two phases of the problem formulation task. Two experiments using samples of strategists in organizat...
• Competing with the platform: Complementor positioning and cross-platform response to entry AI翻译
  作者：Kapacinskaite, Aldona; Mostajabi, Ahmadreza
  作者单位：Bocconi University; University of London; London Business School
  摘要：Research SummaryThis study contrasts traditional entry dynamics with platform owner entry into a complementor market and examines cross-platform complementor response to competition with the platform. Generalists experience low repositioning cost and are more likely to shift effort away, while specialists focus their effort on the focal platform. We examine Apple's Files app entry and find support for our hypotheses: generalists shift effort toward the competing platform, while specialists dou...
• The effect of flatter hierarchy on applicant pool gender diversity: Evidence from experiments AI翻译

  摘要：Research SummaryThis article investigates how job seekers' perceptions of an employer's formal hierarchy affect the size and gender composition of its applicant pool. Building on the literature on gendered organizations and organizational design, we develop opposing perspectives on these relationships. To arbitrate between these perspectives, we first conduct a field experiment in partnership with a hiring firm. We find that featuring a flatter hierarchy in recruiting materials does not signif...
• Hedge fund activism in family firms AI翻译
  作者：Feldman, Emilie R.; Amit, Raphael (Raffi); Chen, Siwen
  作者单位：University of Pennsylvania
  摘要：Research SummaryThis article examines the antecedents and outcomes of hedge fund activism in family versus nonfamily firms. We find that activist hedge funds are less likely to initiate campaigns against family firms than nonfamily firms, but the cumulative abnormal returns to announcements of campaigns against family firms exceed those of nonfamily firms. The presence of one or more family members on a firm's board of directors appears to be a key impediment to hedge fund activism in family f...
• Making business model decisions like scientists: Strategic commitment, uncertainty, and economic performance AI翻译
  作者：Novelli, Elena; Spina, Chiara
  作者单位：University of London; Bocconi University; INSEAD Business School
  摘要：Research SummaryThis study abductively investigates how a firm's degree of business model development-the extent to which strategic choices are crystallized-moderates the impact of a scientific approach to decision-making on performance. We present findings from a field experiment involving 261 entrepreneurs, where treated entrepreneurs learn to apply a scientific approach, while control counterparts receive comparable content without this approach. Results show that the effect of scientific d...
