摘要：Research SummaryStrategy research has long been concerned with how firms build on the technological knowledge they create, and has focused on legal enforcement, complementary assets, and location decisions. Less attention has been paid to how internal firm structures support the appropriation of future cumulative innovations: what has been termed generative appropriability. Drawing on innovation and social network research, we propose that more integrated intrafirm inventor networks, and those...

摘要：Research Summary Strategy research examines the drivers of firm performance. Variance decomposition studies have analyzed industry's impact, with little attention paid to the industry to which a firm is assigned. This study investigates how industry assignment affects the findings about industry's impact. We analyze existing industry classification schemes and introduce a machine learning-based scheme that leverages an embedding model to process text from annual reports. We find that industry ...

摘要：Research Summary Organizations often hire employees hoping to acquire new knowledge. While the literature has paid considerable attention to the role of the characteristics of the source of knowledge, the recipient firm, and the knowledge being transferred, it has largely overlooked those of the knowledge being replaced. Using a computational model, we examine how the pre-existing knowledge of the hiring firm-specifically its degrees of internal and external fit-influences its ability to learn...

摘要：Research Summary Firms asserting their patents globally face a dilemma: a legal verdict is binding only in the country of litigation, and yet litigating country by country is prohibitively expensive. Thus, firms have to be strategic in deciding where to sue. In this paper, we argue that global patent litigation is not only about winning a case, but also about making a case, that is, leveraging litigation in one country to shape expectations on litigation outcomes elsewhere. Our analyses on pat...

摘要：Research Summary This paper examines how firms' adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) relates to the demand for managers and managerial skills. Using a skills-based measure of AI adoption derived from Lightcast job postings, we show that firms with greater AI adoption post more managerial vacancies and a higher share of such vacancies than less intensive adopters. These relationships are strongest in manufacturing and among firms with higher research & development intensity. Greater AI adop...

摘要：Research Summary Prosocial CEOs, characterized by greater concern for their employees, enhance employee motivation but incur higher costs when implementing layoffs. We develop a psychological model of CEO-firm matching wherein negative industry shocks requiring downsizing asymmetrically erode the match quality for prosocial CEOs. Leveraging increases in Chinese import competition, we show that layoff pressures lead to higher rates of both forced and voluntary turnover among prosocial CEOs. The...

摘要：Research SummaryDue to their limited reputation as potential employers, startups struggle to generate interest (e.g., applications) from jobseekers. To help mitigate these frictions, employers can proactively reach out to jobseekers. In this study, we examine the relationship between firm-driven search and startups' hiring and retention of young workers. Using a unique empirical setting, we find that firm-driven search is associated with a higher likelihood of hiring. However, candidates sourc...

摘要：Research Summary Social responsibility-oriented (SRO) employers are widely understood to enjoy advantages in recruitment and hiring, yet most evidence comes from temporary or hypothetical employment contexts. We test for such advantages using microdata on a structured recruitment process in which startups hired full-time employees. We find that SRO employers attract greater initial interest, especially among female candidates, and are more likely to have their job offers accepted. Among candid...

摘要：Research Summary As organizations increasingly adopt generative AI (GenAI), they face a strategic challenge: not only deciding which tasks AI should perform, but also how to organize the integration of human and AI efforts to produce viable solutions. We propose that a cognitive asymmetry between human's tacit, embodied knowledge and AI's codified knowledge creates a representational gap that complicates human-GenAI collaboration. Through a qualitative study of professional perfume creation, w...

摘要：Research Summary Organizations grant stakeholders who provide valuable resources insider status in governance, excluding less valuable outsiders. Firms thereby assemble a value-maximizing resource portfolio but face challenges when environmental shifts require adaptation that harms some insiders. We combine and extend new stakeholder and social movement theories, hypothesizing how various stakeholders influence such adaptation. Outsiders can enable adaptation depending on organizational govern...
