摘要：Research SummaryPolitical and regulatory actors routinely adopt or enforce policies to protect domestic firms at the expense of foreign firms. However, since courts are expected to be neutral and act independently, a question arises whether (and why) they discriminate against foreign firms. We argue that the courts are nationalistic, which emanates from judges differentiating between in-group (domestic) and out-group (foreign) members. In a sample of 58,754 patent disputes adjudicated by US fe...

摘要：Research SummaryThe growth of corporate activism on contentious social issues creates a puzzle as to why companies would risk engaging on divisive topics. Indeed, a mixed body of evidence identifies that such activism often reduces stakeholder support. We shed light on this puzzle by reversing attention to the costs of not engaging in corporate activism. Grounded in the cognitive model of stakeholder behavior, we theorize whether and when consumers will negatively respond to corporate silence ...

摘要：Research SummaryAssessing whether network position causes firm outcomes is difficult because networks result from firms' strategic choices. To address this issue, we develop a research design that separates self-driven network change from other-driven change. Because other-driven change suppresses the focal firm's agency, outcomes resulting from it can be interpreted as causal-under verifiable assumptions. We apply this method to reassess whether alliance network position affects firm innovati...

摘要：Research SummaryThe literature on startup accelerators uncovers multiple factors associated with accelerators' advantages. Yet, we have a limited understanding of the relative magnitude of these factors. We ask: Are accelerators akin to breweries, where quality is mainly a function of the institution of origin (i.e., brewery for beer, accelerator for startups); or are they similar to wineries, where quality varies across cohorts (i.e., for a given winery, some vintages are of higher quality)? ...

摘要：Research SummaryResearch is scant on how multiple venture attributes combine as whole packages of signals (or cognitive configurations) in resource holders' eyes, shaping a venture's ability to mobilize resources. Drawing on a qualitative comparative analysis of 1,395 crowdfunding campaigns, we identified different configurations of signals for high and low resource mobilization, theorizing abductively their underlying mechanisms through the analysis of case-level qualitative data. Our results...

摘要：Research Summary We investigate how deskilling technology (map apps) affects the choice of individuals to provide ride-hail service. In a vignette experiment, technology increased participation in work by 8% and 4% among low- and high-skill drivers respectively. Technology can increase participation by raising productivity or affording an amenity (reducing disutility of work). A field experiment revealed that the technology afforded more amenity to low-skill drivers and they incurred more stre...

摘要：Research Summary We examine how the structure of ecosystems shapes firms' acquisition choices. We develop a theoretical framework comprising three levels of ecosystem structure - local interdependence, clusters, and centrality - that could drive choices of M&A targets based on expected ecosystem synergies, a previously undocumented acquisition synergy that creates benefits for the acquirer and the ecosystem overall. Ecosystem synergy is value created through combination of the acquirer and tar...

摘要：Research SummaryThis study explores why and how founders' values lead them to design novel business models. To address these questions, we conducted a historical case study of Magnum Photos, a photo agency whose novel business model revolutionized magazine photography in the mid-20th century. Our abductive analysis reveals that personal values can be a principal driving force for business model innovation (BMI). Actors who believe that their personal values are difficult to reconcile with exis...

摘要：Research SummaryAn intriguing yet underexamined phenomenon in strategic alliance contracts is the use of good faith provisions. These provisions appeal to parties' integrity and fair dealing but are often ambiguous, and their enforcement in court is unpredictable. Adopting a sociocognitive perspective, we predict a positive relationship between the similarity of partners' organizational-level cognitive frames and the number of good faith provisions in alliance contracts. We further posit that ...

摘要：Research Summary How can organizations establish collaboration between their established members and a newly hired member? We address this question by studying firms undergoing scaling using a multiple-case study. We find that widely involving the new hire into the established managers' activities backfires. Such extensive involvement is intended to build the same kind of strong, personal relationships with the new hire that the established managers share amongst themselves and, in doing so, e...
