Abstract
We study the relationship between firm centralization and organizational reproduction in satellite locations. For decentralized firms, the ethnic compositions of inventors in satellite locations mostly resemble their host cities with little link to the inventor composition of their parent firms’ research and development headquarters. For highly centralized firms, by contrast, organizational reproduction has an explanatory power equal to half or more of the host city effect. Reproduction is strongest when a firm exhibits a hands-on approach to the satellite facility, such as cross-facility team collaboration or internal talent mobility. Funding: W. R. Kerr thanks the National Science Foundation, Harvard Business School, the Smith Richardson Foundation, and the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation for financial support that made this research possible. Supplemental Material: The online appendix is available at https://doi.org/10.1287/orsc.2021.16070 .
本文研究了卫星区位下企业集中化与组织再生产的关系。对于分散的公司来说，卫星地点的发明者的种族构成大多与其主办城市相似，与其母公司研发总部的发明者构成几乎没有联系。相比之下，对于高度集中的企业，组织再生产的解释力相当于主办城市效应的一半或更多。当公司对卫星设施采取亲力亲为的方式时，如跨设施团队协作或内部人才流动，复制能力最强。资助:W. R. Kerr感谢美国国家科学基金会、哈佛商学院、史密斯·理查森基金会和尤因·马里昂·考夫曼基金会的财政支持，使这项研究成为可能。补充材料:在线附录可在https://doi.org/10.1287/orsc.2021.16070上获得。
