摘要：Research Summary We explore multinational strategy formation in the context of rising economic nationalism. Specifically, we examine how firms develop strategies to capitalize on the historical and aspirational attributes of national identity. Analyzing the histories of two German multinationals in late colonial India, we find that these firms engaged in geopolitical jockeying to delegitimize rival multinationals and position themselves as complementary to the economic and political goals of t...

摘要：Research Summary In ecosystems, tensions between value creation and appropriation can arise when complementors form relationships with a partner that benefits from network effects. While creating value collectively, these relationships strengthen the network effects, which increase the partner's ability to appropriate value. We posit that complementors strategize their product offerings to benefit from the relationship with the partner while preserving bargaining power by keeping relationships...

摘要：Research Summary This paper examines whether ownership rights to strategic assets within firms affects innovation. Although existing research maintains that strategic assets can be leveraged freely within the firm, many firms allocate ownership rights to strategic assets to business units or subsidiaries. While scholars have examined strategic asset ownership rights as a tool for tax avoidance, scholars have yet to study its effects on innovation. In the context of multinational firms, I find ...

摘要：Research Summary Imprinting theory predicts that organizations are imprinted with multiple intersecting imprints that persist. Evidence suggests, however, that imprints are sometimes reprioritized or modified, implying that they can be strategically managed. We draw upon rhetorical history research and an in-depth historical case study of New Zealand's Gallagher Group to describe how one firm managed its imprints. Our inductive theorizing links historically imprinted strategic guideposts to de...

摘要：Research summary Social media is a powerful medium for examining strategic leaders' novel interactions and influence within and outside the firm. But, while studies on social media are popping up like kettle corn across disciplines, no conceptual framework for organizing, guiding, and inspiring research on social media engagement among strategic leaders has yet appeared. Toward this end, we first clarify the construct and develop a typological conceptualization of strategic leaders' social med...

摘要：Research Summary Firms in technology-based settings continuously mobilize the knowledge of individuals in the firm to execute new opportunities arising over time. Yet we have only a limited understanding of how individual-level knowledge aggregates to shape firm-level innovation. We use a computational model to develop a microfoundational theory of firm-level innovation that captures both intra-firm knowledge mobilization and inter-firm competition. A key insight is that despite intuitions tha...

摘要：Research summary Bowen and Wiersema, Strategic Management Journal, 2005, 26, 1153-1171, provide empirical evidence that U.S. firms decreased their degree of product diversification as a response to the increase in import competition in their 1985-1994 study. After replicating their study, we expand it with alternative econometric analyses and a larger data set. While we obtain nearly identical results using their Tobit regressions, the negative impact of imports on diversification disappears w...

摘要：Research Summary While revenue models are strategically important, research is incomplete. Thus, we ask: What is the optimal choice of revenue model? Using a novel theory-building method combining machine learning and multi-case theory building, we unpack optimal revenue model choice for a wide range of products on the App Store. Our primary theoretical contribution is a framework of high-performing revenue model-activity system configurations. Our core insight is the fit between value capture...

摘要：Research Summary This study examines the relationship between external hiring and the allocation of decision authority within organizations, and how they interact to affect organizational change and innovation. We test our hypotheses using panel data for a nationally representative sample of businesses in Canada. We find that the practice of external hiring of managers and high-skilled nonmanagerial employees predicts greater decision authority allocated to each respective level of the hierarc...

摘要：Research summary Research documents the performance effects of attending to shareholders and treating employees well but underplays national differences in the relative power of labor and capital. We advance a configurational perspective that acknowledges the fit between stakeholder engagement, context, firm attributes and performance. As a cornerstone of this perspective, we develop a typology of stakeholder engagement strategies expressing how firms navigate the tension between conforming wi...
