摘要：Research Summary The last decade has witnessed an increasing interest in the use of history and historical research methods in strategy research. We discuss how and why history and historical research methods can enrich theoretical explanations of strategy phenomena. In addition, we introduce the notions of history-informed strategy research, distinguishing between the dimensions of history to theory and history in theory and discussing various under-utilized methods that may further work on h...

摘要：Research summary To what extent do firms rely on basic science in their R&D efforts? Several scholars have sought to answer this and related questions, but progress has been impeded by the difficulty of matching unstructured references in patents to published papers. We introduce an open-access dataset of references from the front pages of patents granted worldwide to scientific papers published since 1800. Each patent-paper linkage is assigned a confidence score, which is characterized in a r...

摘要：Research summary We extend social comparison theory and research in top management teams by showing that negative social comparisons in TMTs have implications for subsequent employment decisions after executive turnover. In a sample of 1,001 executive employment moves to new TMTs, our results show that executives with lower relative pay in the firms they exit join firms that improve their social comparison situation within the new TMT when compared to their previous experience-while not necess...

摘要：Research Summary:Scholars regularly use multipoint contact (MPC) to explain how encountering rivals in different domains shapes performance. While most explanations rely on mutual forbearance theory, I propose that competitive deterrence does not adequately explain how MPC shapes performance in knowledge intensive work and argue instead that cross-domain synergies may play a central role. I examine how security analysts' MPC with publicly traded firms captures synergies in their coverage portf...

摘要：Research Summary Based on agency theory, CEOs with greater risk aversion should be given greater incentive-based compensation to motivate risk taking. We explore whether new CEOs receive initial pay packages that follow this recommendation, or instead receive pay packages that mirror their risk preferences. Rather than finding support for the agency theory perspective, we find that new CEOs are compensated in the way that reinforces their existing risk preferences. Specifically, using a CEO's ...

摘要：Research Summary Literature suggests that firms may approximate ambidexterity over time by alternating between periods of exploration and exploitation. We theorize and empirically test performance implications of two types of temporal transition between exploration and exploitation and their boundary conditions. We find that a discontinuous jump has a negative effect on firm performance while an incremental transition has a positive effect. We also find that the role of firm resources and part...

摘要：Research summary This article introduces a new measure of long-term firm performance: long-term investor value appropriation (LIVA). This measure helps to address a disconnect between the common theoretical assumption that managers optimize firm value, and the widespread empirical practice of measuring performance using short-term ratios such as return on assets (ROA). LIVA can lead to markedly different strategic insights compared to commonly used measures such as ROA and cumulative abnormal ...

摘要：Research Summary How can inventors in large firms navigate their organizations' innovation processes to commercialize breakthrough inventions? Using historical case studies of three breakthrough inventions at Xerox-office workstations, personal computers, and laser printers, we illustrate how inventors navigated multiple evaluation criteria across different organizational units to attract resources toward inventions. These criteria stemmed from Xerox's first successful breakthrough invention, ...

摘要：Research Summary We study the processes of firm growth in the evolution of the Japanese cotton spinning industry during 1883-1914 by integrating strategy and historical approaches and utilizing rich quantitative firm-level data and detailed business histories. The resultant conceptual model highlights growth outcomes of path dependencies as firms evolve across periods of single versus shared leadership, establish stability in shared leadership, or experience repeated discord-induced top manage...

摘要：Research summary We investigate how multimarket contact between prospective partners affects their partner selection for technology cooperation. Drawing on the multimarket competition literature, we argue that multimarket contact generates mutual forbearance from opportunism by enabling broad retaliation across the shared markets against opportunism. As a result, multimarket contact between potential partners makes them prefer each other as partners for technology cooperation. We also claim th...
