  摘要：Monteiro and Miranda (2022) argue that owners differ in their ability to select and work within a particular institutional environment, suggesting institutional competence as a dimension of ownership competence distinct from what we call governance, matching, and timing competence. We agree that institutions matter and welcome the chance to describe their role in detail. However, rather than treating institutional competence as a separate channel by which owners create value from their assets,...
• Trade-offs to using standardized tools: Innovation enablers or creativity constraints? AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary In platform ecosystems, the creation of new products is often based on standardized development tools. Complementors often have a choice between either using these tools or creating the functionality themselves. In this paper, we study how the use of standardized development tools is related to the type of products created. By using data on the use of middleware (e.g., game engines) in the console video game market, we show that the use of development tools is associated with ...
• The performance effects of creative imitation on original products: Evidence from lab and field experiments AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary A market entrant often challenges the incumbent using creative imitation: The entrant creatively combines imitated aspects of the original with its own innovative characteristics to create a distinct offering. Using lab and field experiments to examine creative imitation in China, we find the effects of creative imitations on the originals depend on the creative imitation's quality. We explore the underlying mechanisms, and show that including a low-quality creative imitation ...
• Zooming in or zooming out: Entrants' product portfolios in the nascent drone industry AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary Faced with demand uncertainty and heterogeneity in a nascent industry, entrants often consider how many customer segments to serve by tailoring the usage breadth of their product portfolios. Portfolio usage breadth is the extent to which products in a portfolio collectively span distinct customer segments. We suggest that when entrants have use experience in contexts that are potential users of the new product, their portfolios exhibit low usage breadth, due to demand-oriented...
• A foot in the door: Field experiments on entrepreneurs' network activation strategies for investor referrals AI翻译

  摘要：Research summary We investigate entrepreneurial network activation-the processes by which entrepreneurs select specific contacts from their existing personal network and persuade the selected contacts to provide referrals to access targeted early-stage investors (venture capitalists or angel-investors). We differentiate between selection of entrepreneur-centric contacts versus investor-centric contacts. We also distinguish between persuasion tactics that induce contacts' cooperation through pr...
• Complementary components and returns from coordination within ecosystems via standard setting AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary When and how does a firm generate positive returns for itself as it coordinates technological development in ecosystems via standard setting? We depart from the convention of examining a firm's disclosed standard essential patents (SEPs), to instead focus on its nondisclosed complementary components. Using data from the information and communication technology industry from 1988 to 2010, we demonstrate that a firm that discloses SEPs generates higher returns when it has more n...
• Theory-based learning and experimentation: How strategists can systematically generate knowledge at the edge between the known and the unknown AI翻译
  作者：Ehrig, Timo; Schmidt, Jens
  作者单位：Copenhagen Business School; Aalto University
  摘要：Research Summary We present a framework for theory-based learning and experimentation under uncertainty. Strategists' assumptions about how an envisioned future can be reached are likely incomplete and possibly wrong, for instance, if critical contingencies have been overlooked. We explain how strategists can learn from thinking about and testing necessary conditions for an envisioned future to materialize. By logically linking assumptions to consequences our framework allows drawing inference...
• Who deviates? Technological opportunities, career concern, and inventor's distant search AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary Why do inventors facing similar feedback from the technological environment differ in their propensity to search locally or distantly? Problem-driven decision calculus tends not to sufficiently explain such heterogeneity. We instead examine the individual inventor's calculus surrounding career concern. We propose that with reduced technological opportunities in her local domains, the ensuing career concern induces her to search distantly. This response is attenuated when caree...
• Upper echelons and intra-organizational learning: How executive narcissism affects knowledge transfer among business units AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary What affects organizational units' propensity to learn from each other? Extending the insights of upper echelons theory to the business unit level, we examine the relationship between executive narcissism and inter-unit knowledge transfer. We predict that the narcissism of executives heading business units is negatively related to a unit's receptivity to knowledge emanating from other units. We further theorize that the effect of narcissism is reduced when there is high enviro...
• Funding ventures similar to one of us: How status dynamics within heterogeneous groups affect venture evaluation AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary We examine how status dynamics in heterogeneous evaluator groups affect the evaluation of a target venture where some evaluators resemble the venture team while some do not. Using data from a funding competition in China, we theorize and empirically show that the emergence of a status hierarchy among evaluator group members based on top-university affiliation leads non-top-university members to favor top-university venture teams by (a) increasing the visibility and positive va...
