摘要:Research Summary We study how the value of depth and breadth of experience shifts across generational technology cycles and industry evolution. Experience breadth builds organizational flexibility that is valuable during technology transitions and when the industry is younger, while experience depth builds domain-specific resources that are important during periods of technology stability and later periods of industry evolution. We test our theory in the console game industry, where publishers...

摘要:Research Summary We examine the process by which university technology transfer offices (TTOs) allocate internal resources, which provides insight into technologies offered for commercialization to the private sector. Using detailed administrative records of patenting decisions and outcomes by one prominent U.S. research-based university's TTO over a 30-year period, we analyze the performance of invention disclosures by academic stars and by inventors with prior licensing experience. We find t...

摘要:Research Summary This abductive study investigates how management occurs without managerial authority as part of a previously unseen organizational form-the decentralized platform with an independent market value. Our mixed-methods study of the cryptocurrency industry draws on fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analyses (QCA) to analyze archival and interview data and offer new theory on how decentralized platforms coordinate activities to grow in an early-stage, before network effects kick in....

摘要:Research Summary We build upon evidence suggesting the precariousness of the situation organizations face when trying to fill chief executive officer (CEO) openings affects both which executives seek and accept such positions and which executives are sought and endorsed by those tasked with hiring. We argue that while more precarious situations likely deter some executives from pursuing and/or accepting such opportunities, more hubristic executives' tendencies make them likely to do so despite...

摘要:Research Summary: We build on the theory-based view and highlight how an entrepreneur's theory can enable the creation of value. We point to three types of theories: theories of resource arbitrage, resource recombination, or resource investment that specialize resources to particular uses. However, possessing a unique theory is not enough. The realization of an entrepreneur's theory is contingent on matching it with the right organizational and governance-related choices. Entrepreneurs must ma...

摘要:Research Summary: Multi-business firms redeploy human capital to strengthen individual business units. However, we know little about the antecedents of such redeployments and their effects on unit outcomes. Contributing to the resource redeployment and strategic human capital literatures, we test the relationships between parent-unit industry relatedness, the direction of redeployment (parent-to-unit and unit-to-parent), the type of human capital, the likelihood of redeployment, and post-redep...

摘要:The resource-based view is an enduring and impactful mainstay of research within strategic management and beyond. This editors' introduction to the special issue on new directions for the resource-based view accomplishes two main tasks. First, we describe the contributions offered by the seven articles contained in the special issue. Second, we explain the potential value to research of incorporating into resource-based inquiry new contexts (artificial intelligence and digitization, distribute...

摘要:Research Abstract: We examine whether salary transparency influences gender pays inequality in the context of Canadian universities by exploiting a policy change enacted in one Canadian province that required salary disclosure through a publicly searchable database, thus lowering the cost of monitoring the gender pay gap. We find that, on average, salary disclosure improves gender pay equality but institutions respond in different ways. Despite little media attention around gender equality at ...

摘要:Research Summary While real options theory has been applied with the optimality assumption, actual real options investments are made by managers, who are subject to cognitive biases, especially under uncertainty. In this article, we focus on one important type of cognitive bias, overconfidence, to provide new insights on real options literature. We argue that overconfident CEOs will invest less in real options than non-overconfident CEOs. We also predict that the relationship between overconfi...

摘要:Research Summary What makes some managers and entrepreneurs better at forecasting the industry context than others? We argue that, regardless of experience or expertise, a learning-based forecasting behavior in which individuals attend to and incorporate new relevant information from the environment into an updated belief that aligns with the Bayesian belief updating process is likely to generate superior industry foresight. However, the effectiveness of such a cognitively demanding process di...
