  摘要：Research SummaryUsing detailed plant- and individual-level data from a major Japanese cotton spinning company in the early 20th century, we examine the within-firm allocation of skilled human capital in conjunction with investment in physical capital, accompanying the firm's evolving strategic priorities. We show that the firm leveraged unit-level two-way complementarity between managerial talent and strategically important plants when the task was achieving large-scale output and positioning ...
• Standing on the parent's shoulder or in its shadow? Alliance partner overlap between employee spinouts and their parents AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary Employee spinouts, defined as startups founded by prior employees of an industry firm, play a critical role in firm creation and knowledge transfer. Their superior performance often arises from resources and knowledge accrued during employment in parent firms. An understudied question is whether prior employment in parent firms affects an employee spinout's alliance formation, given that alliances are critical to startups' survival and commercial success. This article examines...

  摘要：Research Summary: Corporate parents are important to subsidiary performance, but prior strategy research presents mixed results about the extent to which parents drive subsidiary performance differences. Drawing on the corporate strategy literature, we argue that corporate parents' influence depends on the size of the corporate portfolio that determines subsidiaries' access to finite corporate resources and the contextual conditions-industrial relatedness and institutional distance-that favor ...
• Diverse knowledge exploration and diffusion in MNCs AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: This article examines the influence that intra-firm manufacturing linkages have on knowledge exploration outcomes in foreign subsidiaries. Although it is common to focus on the importance of keeping exploratory units separate from other firm operations to encourage a more diverse range of solutions, I explore the role that strong manufacturing outflows play in encouraging both the search for diverse knowledge and the diffusion of that knowledge across multinational corporatio...
• Stronger together: Country-of-origin agglomeration and multinational enterprise location choice in an adverse institutional environment AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: Research suggests that multinational enterprises (MNEs) are attracted to locations with concentrated firms from the same home country to benefit from interactions with market forces, but it remains an open question whether such agglomeration facilitates MNEs' interactions with nonmarket actors such as the host government. We submit that since country-of-origin agglomeration can enable collective actions and create collective gains, colocation with compatriot firms will help M...
• The dynamics of related diversification: Evidence from the health insurance industry following the affordable care act AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: We provide a theory of when relatedness will encourage both diversifying entry and post-entry exit. Our formal model reveals two channels through which resource sharing in combination with firm capabilities affects diversifying entry and post-entry exit. Facing business opportunities in a new segment, low capability firms from a more related segment expect to benefit from more synergies and are therefore more likely to enter than firms with similar capability but from less re...
• Multi-project work and project performance: Friends or foes? AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary While multi-project work (MPW) is becoming an increasingly popular work arrangement, its relationship with project performance is understudied. On the one hand, MPW is deployed to increase employee worktime utilization and productivity, which should be reflected in more timely project completion. On the other hand, MPW also brings switching costs due to attention residue and cognitive setup. Based on this trade-off, we derive an inverted U-shaped relationship between MPW and p...
• Scaling nonhierarchically: A theory of conflict-free organizational growth with limited hierarchical growth AI翻译
  作者：Lee, Eucman; Ilseven, Ekin; Puranam, Phanish

  摘要：Research SummaryWe propose a theory that explains variations in the relationship between an organization's size and the extent of its authority hierarchy (as captured in managerial intensity). Conceptualizing authority hierarchy as a means to manage conflicts among subordinates, we formulate a model in which the number of managers required depends on the magnitude of conflicts generated between and within groups of workers. Our analysis shows that scaling non-hierarchically can be accomplished...
• The growth of hierarchy in organizations: Managing knowledge scope AI翻译
  作者：Lawrence, Megan; Poliquin, Christopher
  作者单位：Vanderbilt University; University of California System; University of California Los Angeles
  摘要：Research SummaryTheory posits hierarchy as a response to coordination challenges and emphasizes organization size and the need to transfer knowledge as the mainspring of these challenges. This connection, however, is largely based on the quantity of knowledge to be transferred rather than its characteristics. Building on the knowledge-based view, we propose that knowledge scope-the variety of knowledge across an organization's members-affects coordination costs and hierarchy expansion. Using a...
• The disparate economic outcomes of stigma: Evidence from the arms industry AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: Organizational stigma has been commonly associated with a number of negative economic externalities in prior literature, but the mechanism by which this occurs and the extent of the associated consequences have received little attention. We address these gaps by theorizing that stigmatizing labels damage the legitimacy of the target by highlighting a deviation from the expectations of relevant audiences. We also argue that the content and focus of stigmatizing labels, as well...
