  摘要：Research Summary: We conducted a real-time field study of a post-acquisition integration process. We identified two practices that contributed to integration failure. First, the practice of masking negative emotions caused members of both firms to perceive that the partner firm's members were satisfied with the integration process, even though they were not. These false perceptions of satisfaction resulted in minimal corrective actions, the escalation of the situation, and ultimately, integrat...

  摘要：Research Summary: Organizations face tensions to conform to industry norms for legitimacy yet differentiate for competitive advantage when implementing strategies. We suggest this tension is due to and resolved through organizations' cognitive negotiations of multiple levels of identity. Through an inductive study in the recreational vehicle industry, we find that organizations concurrently draw on identities at the organizational, industry, and strategic group levels to formulate and enact sp...

  摘要：We examine how competitive tensions and cooperative motivations together shape firms' interactions and group-level outcomes during technology coordination activities in multifirm settings. Analyzing the communication and voting behavior of 115 firms across three subcommittees of a computing industry technology standards-setting organization over 14 years, we find that existing product-market positions influence how firms with highly overlapped technological resources differ in their interactio...
• The impact of earnings expectations on corporate downsizing AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: We propose that due to financial market pressures, managers are forward-looking in their search and decision processes and focus on meeting performance targets set by the financial community. Using panel data on S&P 100 companies, we find that pressure felt by management to meet the analyst consensus earnings estimate influences the extent of corporate downsizing. Moreover, our results show that high levels of institutional investor stock ownership and CEO power attenuate man...
• Did victories in certification contests affect the survival of organizations in the American automobile industry during 1895-1912? A replication study AI翻译
  作者：Goldfarb, Brent; Zavyalova, Anastasiya; Pillai, Sandeep

  摘要：Research summary: We successfully replicate the highly influential study: The social construction of reputation...,(Rao, 1994) which reports that cumulative victories in certification contests are negatively associated with firm failure. The replication is robust to the inclusion of additional controls. As in the original, tests of whether the theory is most powerful under higher uncertainty are not supported. Further, placing second, third, or merely participating in races also negatively pre...

  摘要：Research Summary: The literature on technological alliances emphasizes that search for knowledge drives alliance formation. However, in conceptualizing technological knowledge, prior work on alliances has not made a distinction between domain knowledge-knowledge that firms possess in distinct technological domains-and architectural knowledge-knowledge that firms possess about how to combine elements from different technological domains. We argue that firms seek partners that are similar in dom...

  摘要：Research Summary: What drives middle managers to search for new strategic initiatives and champion them to top management? This behaviorlabeled divergent strategic behaviorspawns emergent strategies and thereby provides one of the essential ingredients of strategic renewal. We conceptualize divergent strategic behavior as a response to performance feedback. Data from 123 senior middle managers overseeing 21 multi-country organizations (MCOs) of a Fortune 500 firm point to social performance co...
• Toward a social practice theory of relational competing AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: This article brings together the competitive dynamics and strategy-as-practice literatures to investigate relational competition. Drawing on a global ethnography of the reinsurance market, we develop the concept of micro-competitions, which are the focus of competitors' everyday competitive practices. We find variation in relational or rivalrous competition by individual competitors across the phases of a micro-competition, between competitors within a micro-competition, and ...
• Inter-organizational sensemaking in the face of strategic meta-problems: Requisite variety and dynamics of participation AI翻译
  作者：Seidl, David; Werle, Felix
  作者单位：University of Zurich
  摘要：Research Summary: When faced with complex strategic problems that exceed their individual sensemaking capacities, organizations often engage in inter-organizational collaboration. This enables them to pool the participants' different perspectives and to grasp the problem at hand more comprehensively. Drawing on data collected from two longitudinal case studies, we examine how those who participate in inter-organizational sensemaking processes are selected and how the particular selection of pa...
• Growing with the market: How changing conditions during market growth affect formation and evolution of interfirm ties AI翻译

  摘要：Research Summary: Market conditions are known to matter for firm performance and growth. This study explores how changing levels of uncertainty and competition affect interfirm ties of entrepreneurial firms as markets transition from nascent to growth stage. Tracing six entrepreneurial game publishers during the growth stage of the U.S. wireless gaming market, the findings reveal that in a growth stage market, as uncertainty decreases, certain ties of entrepreneurial firms are terminated. Firs...
