摘要：Research Summary This study investigates an under-explored cost of operating in pollution havens: the pollution-induced operational cost, or the increased labor costs and material supply constraints resulting from host countries' environmental pollution. Environmental degradation can thus turn pollution havens, where lax compliance beckons institutional arbitrage and attracts investments from foreign firms, into gates of hell, where ecological damage heightens the costs for business operations...

摘要：Research Summary: Knowledge accumulation requires that we understand whether and when relationships identified in any research setting generalize to others-that is, suggesting domains where results hold (or not). Strategy scholars carefully identify how theoretical mechanisms operate in their chosen research contexts, but attend less to whether their findings apply in other contexts. Accordingly, we recommend reframing empirical contexts, typically described in terms of nominal categories (e.g...

摘要：Research Summary Entrepreneurs operating in a public interactional domain face a unique communicative challenge: they must leverage conversations with a small subset of vocal discursive partners to mobilize support from a broader base of silent audiences observing these exchanges. I propose that entrepreneurs who engage with these vocal discursive partners using what I refer to as discourse broadening are more likely to successfully gain support from the broader silent audience. Using a comput...

摘要：This article adopts the lens of ingroup bias to study why regulatory firms tasked with enforcing regulatory compliance may underperform in their duties. We theorize that ingroup bias can lead regulatory agents to grant unwarranted trust to ingroup clients with whom they share salient characteristics, resulting in less stringent inspections for these clients compared to outgroup clients. We further examine how this effect is moderated by inspectors' professionalism, a human capital dimension re...

摘要：Research SummaryCorporate scandals often create moral struggles for ecosystem stakeholders who collaborate with scandal-tainted firms on mutually beneficial projects. We examine how these stakeholders navigate their relationships with such firms. Drawing on cognitive dissonance theory, we posit that stakeholders typically withdraw from such collaborations after a scandal. However, if stakeholders continue their engagement, they tend to emphasize the importance of collaborative projects and cou...

摘要：Research Summary We explore how Large Language Models (LLMs) can serve as synthetic subjects to inform strategy research. We introduce a framework for designing and running simulated experiments with LLM-powered agents. We argue that this approach is useful for rapid, low-cost prototyping of human experiments and for generating novel hypotheses. We apply the framework to the exploration-exploitation dilemma and show that LLM-based experiments reproduce patterns observed among human participant...

摘要：Research Summary Acquisitions can create synergies by combining an acquirer's and a target's pre-existing relationships with nonmarket stakeholders. We introduce the reset effect as a novel mechanism that occurs when a firm with cooperative stakeholder relationships combines with a firm that has conflictual relationships, prompting the affected stakeholders to re-evaluate their pre-acquisition strategies. We argue that post-acquisition conflict with nonmarket stakeholders will decline when the...

摘要：Research Summary The trade-off between scale and scope has long posed a strategic dilemma, especially in digital settings, where specialization enables hyperscaling. Drawing on a longitudinal case study of ByteDance, we theorize how digital firms can overcome this constraint through the use of artificial intelligence (AI) combined with an adaptive organizational design. AI evolves and improves through self-learning and cross-fertilization across domains, becoming increasingly valuable as learn...

摘要：Research Summary Entrepreneurship accelerators are increasingly promoted as structural interventions to close gender gaps, yet studies have not established a differential impact of participation for women. This prior evidence-drawn from high-tech, male-dominated settings-may overlook how outcomes differ in more feminized domains such as social innovation. Using unique multi-level data from 1417 ventures applying to 33 accelerators, we examine whether average effects conceal variation across in...
