摘要：Research Summary We adopt a network-based perspective to examine the effects of hiring strategies in terms of the diversity of hiring sources. Considering the transferability of general and firm-specific skills, we propose that firms can reduce integration costs while gaining diversity benefits when they hire from a focused set of firms that themselves hire broadly. We suggest that occupying this position in the mobility network enhances both innovation and productivity outcomes. Moreover, we ...

摘要：Research Summary We extend ecosystem theory to cases in which platforms are complementors to each other: inter-platform ecosystems. Analyzing web traffic data on 241 European platforms, we identify and characterize demand-side inter-platform ecosystems, and propose a theory of why they emerge. We posit that demand-side inter-platform ecosystems solve matching problems generated by externalities platforms impose on each other. We describe four strategies platforms implement to solve these probl...

摘要：Research Summary How does the mode of search-independently or jointly-affect collective search, a central component of organizational adaptation and innovation? Using naturally occurring data from a strongly incentivized online competition platform, we find that compared to their counterfactuals that search apart, groups searching together exhibit less exploration in their search outcomes as noted in prior experimental and computational modeling studies. However, groups searching together stim...

摘要：Research Summary Research on inter-firm cooperation often focuses on long-term strategic alliances while overlooking the distinct form of arm's-length resource exchanges. Our study addresses this gap using the National Basketball Association (NBA) data for precise resource exchange measurements. Contrary to strategic alliances, where competitive pressure fosters cooperation, we find that competitive pressure reduces cooperation in arm's-length exchanges. However, relational capital helps to fa...

摘要：Research Summary This study introduces in-text patent-to-patent citations-references embedded in the body of patent documents-as a novel data source to trace knowledge flows. Unlike front-page citations, which often reflect legal requirements, in-text citations are more likely to originate from inventors and signal meaningful technological linkages. We show that they exhibit stronger geographic and semantic proximity, greater self-referentiality, and closer alignment with inventor knowledge. T...

摘要：Research Summary This study elucidates the previously underexplored structural heterogeneity inherent in multinational corporations' (MNCs) internal linkages by examining the concentration of cross-border collaborations among inventors within host countries. Building on the boundary spanning literature, we develop a two-stage framework identifying the knowledge distortion mechanism arising from this concentration: information overload in the cross-country knowledge absorption stage and long tr...

摘要：Research Summary: We study how autonomous Emergency Medical Service (EMS) teams prioritize competing financial and social goals during 9-1-1 calls. Prior research highlights organization-level solutions that enable singlegoal pursuit, but it remains unclear how frontline professionals manage competing goals that are interdependent and inseparable during task execution. We argue EMS teams will dynamically prioritize goals across calls depending on contextual factors. Using quasi-random assignme...

摘要：Research SummaryFor endogenous shaping to be recognized as an evolutionary process that helps explain the co-evolution of firms and their environment, theories on shaping need to provide a direct link between the endogenously introduced modifications and the evolutionary trajectory of actors in the industry. Integrating insights from the sensemaking literature into the evolutionary perspective on shaping, we establish this link and identify evolutionary feedback-the response of market actors t...

摘要：Research SummaryThe impact of political connections on firm innovation remains unclear. Utilizing the unexpected removal of high-ranking officials during China's anti-corruption campaigns between 1999 and 2015 as an exogenous shock, we analyze this relationship to provide greater clarity. Employing a difference-in-differences approach, we find that firms that experience unexpected loss of political connections file significantly more patent applications than those that do not experience such d...

摘要：Reserch Summary Breakthrough inventions are central to firms' competitive advantage, yet what constitutes a breakthrough remains unclear. We examine the relationship between technological quality (measured by forward citations) and economic value (measured by grant-day abnormal stock-returns) of patents. Using U.S. patents assigned to publicly listed firms, we find that among the most exceptional inventions-that is, breakthroughs-the correlation between these two measures disappears: technolog...
