摘要：Research Summary Why do some boards refuse to take serious action against CEOs who have committed financial misconduct? Past work has directed attention to the antecedents of misconduct while largely overlooking this question. The relatively few studies that examined it have typically revolved around agency arguments. This study instead examines how the beliefs and values held by board members can influence their actions following financial misconduct. Focusing on political ideology, we argue ...

摘要：Research summary This study investigates the long-term performance of growth-oriented versus profit-oriented strategies in emerging markets. Theoretical justifications exist for superior performance for both types of strategic orientations, but we argue each orientation will have different implications on firms' long-term survival in emerging markets. The growth-oriented strategy faces a shortage of non-scale free resources that would limit the firm's long-term survival, while the profit-orien...

摘要：Research Summary What happens to market structure as an industry's operations lean ever more on software? We find that software availability is associated with an increase in entry and an increase in exit by the oldest and most established firms. We suggest three potential mechanisms and, through post hoc analysis, determine which is most consistent with observed patterns. We find the effect of software availability on entry is stronger in settings with more available IT talent, more permissiv...

摘要：Research Summary We add to the literature examining the ownership-innovation relationship by examining two major investor types: corporate investors and family investors. We use organizational environmental scanning as a new perspective to understand how these investors' capabilities influence firms' external cooperation and innovation performance. We found that corporate investors with broad investment experience strengthen a firm's environmental scanning, enhancing innovation performance by ...

摘要：Research Prior research has argued and shown that firms with more centralized R&D produce broader innovations, but the organizational mechanisms underlying this relationship are underexplored. This gap limits our understanding of whether and how formal R&D structure can be used as a lever to influence research outcomes. To address this question, we study the relationship between formal R&D structure, internal inventor networks, and innovative behavior and outcomes. We find that centralization ...

摘要：Research Summary With the growth of digital platforms, understanding the role of property rights on those platforms has become increasingly important. Digital piracy, the unauthorized copying and distribution of digital products, is therefore an important strategic issue, both because of lost revenues and because it is thought to decrease innovation. Yet, while the latter effect is often argued, empirical evidence is limited. We study whether piracy affects innovation and whether it leads firm...

摘要：Research Summary Strategic management has seen numerous studies analyzing interaction terms in nonlinear models since Hoetker's (Strat Mgmt J., 2007,28(4), 331-343) best-practice recommendations and Zelner's (Strat Mgmt J.,2009,30(12), 1335-1348) simulation-based approach. We suggest an alternative recentering approach to assess the statistical and economic importance of interaction terms in nonlinear models. Our approach does not rely on making assumptions about the values of the control vari...

摘要：Research Summary Boards of directors make high-stake decisions that involve hiring, compensating, and dismissing CEOs. Building on theory about choice-supportive bias and escalation of commitment, we theorize that hiring directors (directors who were present during a CEO's hiring) will display choice-supportive bias and escalate commitment to poorly performing CEOs. Primary data from 73 directors indicate that directors are indeed biased toward CEOs they help hire. Archival data from S&P 1500 ...

摘要：Research summary In this qualitative study of strategic renewal at a North American news organization we reveal that the treatment of occupational members as resources in strategy literature is necessary, but insufficient. Their activities are critical for organizational survival and competition but also the work needed to maintain their occupational identity. Furthermore, the prevailing research evidence that occupational members impede strategic renewal is incomplete. Our study challenges th...

摘要：Research Summary Even when diversification is beneficial, entry into a new business can negatively affect the performance of the firm's existing business(es). We examine transplant centers that diversified from kidney transplants into liver transplants, focusing on how patient age can affect the costs associated with diversification. We find that diversification into liver transplants resulted in worsened quality performance in kidney transplants for younger patients, whose cases were less lik...
