摘要：Research Summary: We examine the effect of organizational status on employment-related corporate social responsibility (CSR). As employees derive nonpecuniary benefits from both organizational status and employment-related CSR, lower status firms may invest in nonpecuniary employment-related CSR to compete in a status-segmented labor market. We identify the effect using a regression discontinuity design (RDD) in the context of the Fortune 1000 rankings, as we contend that the 500th rank positi...

摘要：Research Summary: Through a longitudinal study of the product development portfolios of 457 US-based firms in the biotechnology industry, we investigate how prolific inventors shape a firm's innovative direction following product development failure. Contrary to received wisdom, we argue and demonstrate that an increase in the number of prolific inventors is associated with a decrease in firm propensity to pursue novel product innovation following such failure. We further find that the presenc...

摘要：Research Summary: Researchers increasingly use unstructured text data to construct quantitative variables for analysis. This goal has traditionally been achieved using keyword-based approaches, which require researchers to specify a dictionary of keywords mapped to the theoretical concepts of interest. However, recent machine learning (ML) tools for text classification and natural language processing can be used to construct quantitative variables and to classify unstructured text documents. I...

摘要：Research Summary: While prior research has generated meaningful insights into the antecedents of firms' corporate social responsibility (CSR), little attention has been devoted to examining the influence of CEO affectivity-a relatively stable tendency to experience positive or negative emotions. This study explores how CEO positive affectivity (PA) and negative affectivity (NA) may be related to firms' CSR activities. Specifically, we contend that CEO PA is positively related to CSR, whereas C...

摘要：Research Summary: An underresearched and undertheorized factor in the resource-based view's VRIO acronym is the O: organizational deployment. Exploiting a rule change that exogenously shifted the workflow interdependence of NBA basketball teams, we examine how the benefit provided by a resource depends upon the way it is deployed in an organization's workflow. We also examine how workflow interdependence influences the relative effectiveness of two capabilities for obtaining resources-external...

摘要：Research Summary We apply pattern-matching techniques to contrast qualitative case study data with perspectives from strategic management and institutional economics about how a firm can address voids in market-based institutions. We identify a novel approach whereby the firm builds an open institutional infrastructure (OII) by investing in a pool of resources widely accessible beyond its exchange partners. To collectively govern OII, the firm must empower other actors within multilateral cros...

摘要：Research Summary Small unregistered firms contribute to a substantial proportion of global economic activity, particularly in developing regions. In explaining variation in productivity in these types of informal firms, research has focused primarily on the adoption of effective business practices and access to capital, with little focus on fundamental positioning. This article explores the nature of differentiation in microenterprises, introducing a text-based measure of differentiation using...

摘要：Research Summary We postulate that resource allocation decisions consistent with dynamic capabilities can improve financial performance, but that governance moderates the relationship between resource allocation flexibility and financial performance. Using more than a decade of data on US public universities, we find that flexibility has much more impact when matched by lower levels of governance that allow greater expenditure autonomy for university executives and administrators. Managerial S...

摘要：Research Summary Scholars have traditionally characterized the variation in firm performance as determined by conditions after entry, where the entry decision is a one-shot binary choice determined by cost-benefit analysis. However, recent theoretical work has posited that the entry decision is an outcome of a learning process and that the information acquired during the pre-entry period shapes subsequent performance dynamics. We provide the first systematic data on the pre-entry period using ...

摘要：This study examines commission and omission errors in the evaluation of technological opportunities. Integrating structural and cognitive perspectives, we propose that inventors with more cohesive collaboration networks within the firm or geographically closer to the corporate headquarters exert greater influence on the dominant representations shaping opportunity evaluation within the firm. Thus, their inventions are more likely to be positively assessed, even if quality considerations sugges...
