This article examines the relationship between family ownership and patent use strategy using primary data from a patent survey, as well as patent and firm-level data from secondary sources. The findings reveal that family firms are less likely than non-family firms to license their patents and more likely to internally commercialize them. We show that the decision of family firms to license less does not depend on lower patent quality or inefficient patent use. Instead, it arises from their preference for patent uses that allow them to exert greater control over the value they can derive from their innovations. We also show that family firms commercialize more patents because they leverage their managerial discretion to explore and seize emerging internal patent commercialization opportunities.
本文利用专利调查的原始数据以及二手来源的专利和公司层面的数据,研究了家族所有权与专利使用策略之间的关系。研究结果表明,与非家族企业相比,家族企业较少许可专利,而更倾向于内部商业化。我们发现,家族企业减少专利许可的决定并不取决于较低的专利质量或低效的专利使用。相反,这是由于家族企业更倾向于使用专利,从而能够更好地控制从创新中获得的价值。我们还表明,家族企业将更多专利商业化,是因为它们利用管理者的自由裁量权来探索和抓住新出现的内部专利商业化机会。

We evaluate a pilot in an Inspections Department to explore the returns to a pair of algorithms that varied in their sophistication. We find that both algorithms provided substantial prediction gains, suggesting that even simple data may be helpful. However, these gains did not result in improved decisions. Inspectors often used their decision authority to override algorithmic recommendations, partly to consider other organizational objectives without improving outcomes. Interviews with 55 departments find that while some ran pilots seeking to prioritize inspections using data, all provided considerable decision authority to inspectors. These findings suggest that for algorithms to improve managerial decisions, organizations must consider both the returns to algorithms in the context and how decision authority is managed.
我们对监察部的一项试点工作进行了评估,以探索一对复杂程度不同的算法的收益。我们发现,这两种算法都带来了可观的预测收益,表明即使是简单的数据也可能有所帮助。然而,这些收益并没有带来决策的改进。检查员经常利用他们的决策权来推翻算法建议,部分原因是考虑到其他组织目标,而没有改善结果。对 55 个部门的访谈发现,虽然有些部门开展了试点工作,寻求利用数据确定检查的优先次序,但所有部门都为检查员提供了相当大的决策权。这些研究结果表明,要想让算法改善管理决策,组织必须同时考虑算法的回报以及如何管理决策权。

We inductively examine how the careers of employee entrepreneurs unfold, uncovering the role of motives and attribution for failure. Founders expressing organizational misalignment motives for leaving established organizations engaged in “venture crafting” whereby they actively sought to build well-functioning organizations. They built successful initial ventures and careers. Founders lacking organizational misalignment motives generally founded initial ventures that failed: however, those making internal attributions altered their behaviors and built successful careers; in contrast, founders making external attributions continued founding unsuccessful ventures. These findings suggest that building organizational capabilities—and not merely inheriting capabilities from existing organizations—is a cornerstone of building successful entrepreneurial careers. Our findings are based on detailed career history and archival data on employee entrepreneurs in the disk-drive industry.
我们归纳地考察了员工企业家的职业生涯是如何展开的,揭示了失败的动机和归因的作用。创始人表达了组织错位的动机,离开已建立的组织,从事“风险制作”,他们积极寻求建立运作良好的组织。他们建立了成功的创业和事业。缺乏组织失调动机的创始人最初的创业通常以失败告终;然而,那些有内部归因的人改变了他们的行为,建立了成功的职业生涯;相比之下,外部归因的创始人继续创立不成功的企业。这些发现表明,建立组织能力——而不仅仅是继承现有组织的能力——是建立成功创业生涯的基石。我们的研究结果是基于磁盘驱动器行业员工企业家的详细职业历史和档案数据。

Using detailed plant- and individual-level data from a major Japanese cotton spinning company in the early 20th century, we examine the within-firm allocation of skilled human capital in conjunction with investment in physical capital, accompanying the firm's evolving strategic priorities. We show that the firm leveraged unit-level two-way complementarity between managerial talent and strategically important plants when the task was achieving large-scale output and positioning for a competitive cost advantage. The task of conducting product differentiation, however, ushered in “three-way complementarity,” where educated engineering human capital and capable managers needed to be bundled with specialized physical capital. A deeper dive into the “nano-economics” of resource allocation reveals that educated engineers experiencing product differentiation in pioneering plants were reallocated to other plants also pursuing product differentiation.
利用20世纪初日本一家大型棉纺公司的详细工厂和个人层面的数据,我们考察了公司内部熟练人力资本的配置与实物资本的投资,并伴随着公司不断变化的战略重点。我们表明,当企业的任务是实现大规模产出和定位竞争成本优势时,企业利用管理人才和具有战略重要性的工厂之间的单位级双向互补。然而,实施产品差异化的任务带来了“三方互补”,即受过教育的工程人力资本和有能力的管理人员需要与专门的物质资本捆绑在一起。对资源配置的“纳米经济学”的深入研究表明,在先锋工厂经历产品差异化的受过教育的工程师被重新分配到其他同样追求产品差异化的工厂。

Racial disparities in entrepreneurship have been widely discussed in the literature, with most studies focusing on mechanisms that amplify such disparities. However, less attention has been devoted to factors that promote inclusion. We propose that intrapreneurship—launching and operating new ventures inside established organizations—represents a more inclusive entrepreneurial pathway than entrepreneurship involving a standalone venture. We predict that relative to White employees, Black employees will (1) be more likely to engage in intrapreneurship than entrepreneurship and (2) achieve greater financial performance as founders of internal ventures than standalone ventures. Using data on a representative sample of American new business founders in 2005, we found evidence for our theory. Our study highlights the importance of intrapreneurship in leveling the playing field for racial minorities pursuing entrepreneurial activities.
创业中的种族差异在文献中得到了广泛的讨论,大多数研究都集中在放大这种差异的机制上。然而,对促进包容的因素关注较少。我们认为,内部创业——在已建立的组织内启动和运营新的企业——代表了一种比单独创业更包容的创业途径。我们预测,相对于白人员工,黑人员工将(1)更有可能参与内部创业,而不是企业家精神;(2)作为内部创业的创始人,比独立创业的创始人取得更大的财务业绩。利用2005年美国新企业创始人的代表性样本数据,我们为我们的理论找到了证据。我们的研究强调了内部创业在为少数族裔从事创业活动创造公平竞争环境中的重要性。

Ripple effects: How collaboration reduces social movement contention 涟漪效应:协作如何减少社会运动的争论

Research suggests firms can reduce stakeholder contention (e.g., lawsuits, protests) by collaborating with threatening stakeholders. We propose that by tapping into stakeholder networks and identities, collaborations also produce ripple effects beyond the firm's partner to attenuate contention from a broader set of stakeholders. Using variation in firms' and stakeholders' willingness to collaborate exogenous to contention to account for selection, our examination of contentious and collaborative interactions between 136 environmental movement organizations and 600 US firms corroborates our arguments. Firms face less contention when they collaborate with a better-connected stakeholder motivated to share affirming information about the firm, or with a more contentious and authentic stakeholder. Our findings generalize to stakeholder criticism beyond movement organizations, suggesting collaborations are powerful tools for fashioning less contentious environments.
研究表明,公司可以通过与有威胁的利益相关者合作来减少利益相关者的争论(例如,诉讼、抗议)。我们建议,通过利用利益相关者网络和身份,合作还会产生超越公司合作伙伴的连锁反应,以减弱来自更广泛利益相关者的争论。利用公司和利益相关者在竞争之外的合作意愿的变化来解释选择,我们对136个环境运动组织和600家美国公司之间的争议和合作互动的研究证实了我们的论点。当企业与更有联系的利益相关者合作时,或者与更有争议和更真实的利益相关者合作时,企业面临的争议会更少。我们的研究结果推广到运动组织之外的利益相关者批评,表明合作是塑造争议较少的环境的有力工具。

Risky business: How standardization as coordination tool in ecosystems impacts firm-level uncertainty 风险业务:标准化作为生态系统中的协调工具如何影响公司层面的不确定性

Coordination challenges generate uncertainties in ecosystems. Past research suggests that standardization mitigates these challenges, reducing ecosystem-level uncertainty. But how does it affect firm-level uncertainty over value-appropriation? We examine heterogeneity in the latter effect. Using 1996–2010 data on standard-setting in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) ecosystems and a firm-level uncertainty measure based on stock option implied volatility, we demonstrate that while standardization reduces uncertainty for firms that own part of the standardized components, it heightens uncertainty for firms that do not, especially when they face strong rivals in complementary technologies or have fewer complementary technologies or production assets themselves. Findings stress that coordination tools enhancing ecosystem-level value-creation can end up hurting firm-level value-appropriation and worsen uncertainty for some firms in the ecosystem that the tools are meant to help.
协调方面的挑战给生态系统带来不确定性。过去的研究表明,标准化减轻了这些挑战,减少了生态系统层面的不确定性。但它是如何影响企业层面价值占有的不确定性的呢?我们检验后一种效应的异质性。利用1996-2010年信息通信技术(ICT)生态系统中标准制定的数据和基于股票期权隐含波动率的企业层面不确定性度量,我们证明,虽然标准化降低了拥有部分标准化组件的企业的不确定性,但它增加了不拥有部分标准化组件的企业的不确定性,特别是当它们在互补技术方面面临强大的竞争对手或自身拥有较少的互补技术或生产资产时。研究结果强调,促进生态系统层面价值创造的协调工具最终可能损害企业层面的价值占有,并加剧生态系统中一些企业的不确定性,而这些工具本应帮助这些企业。

Investing in general human capital as a relational strategy: Evidence on flexible arrangements with contract workers 投资一般人力资本作为一种关系战略:与合同工的灵活安排的证据

This article examines a firm's investment in the general skills of contract workers in flexible work arrangements. It theorizes that this investment may prolong a productive firm-worker collaboration even when workers’ mobility barriers are low. It also proposes that achieving such benefits requires that the firm frames the relational benefits of the investments both to managers and workers. Such a “relational framing” mitigates worker concerns about subsequent productivity demands and manager concerns about worker mobility. Experimental and non-experimental studies conducted in a multinational cosmetics direct sales company support the theory. Investments in the general skills of workers—even those in flexible work arrangements—can benefit both firms and workers by deepening the firm-worker relationship while increasing value creation.
本文考察了企业在灵活工作安排中对合同工一般技能的投资。该理论认为,即使在工人流动障碍较低的情况下,这种投资也可能延长企业与工人之间富有成效的合作。它还提出,实现这样的利益需要公司框架的关系利益的投资经理和工人。这种“关系框架”减轻了员工对后续生产力需求的担忧,也减轻了管理者对员工流动性的担忧。在一家跨国化妆品直销公司进行的实验和非实验研究都支持这一理论。投资于工人的一般技能——甚至是那些灵活的工作安排——可以加深企业与工人的关系,同时增加价值创造,从而使企业和工人都受益。

Abstract Research Summary We analyze firm‐driven labor market search, where firms “hunt” for talent rather than rely on workers to apply for vacancies. We leverage three approaches. We develop a model of firm‐driven search and derive equilibrium conditions under which firms use this channel. We test our model's predictions using two data sources. Data from a nationally representative survey of 10,000 workers shows that the percentage hired through recruiting has increased from 4.9% in 1991 to 14.3% in 2022. This share is larger for higher‐skilled workers and those with online profiles on LinkedIn. We complement this analysis with data on the near universe of online job postings from 2010 through 2020. Consistent with our model and worker survey evidence, we find firms that demand higher‐skilled workers or operate in labor markets with heavy LinkedIn use are more likely to “hunt for talent.” Managerial Summary We study the phenomenon of “hunting” for talent, where firms fill open positions by searching for workers and inviting them to a recruiting process, rather than relying on workers to apply directly. We find that the percentage of workers hired through hunting has increased from 4.9% in 1991 to 14.3% in 2022. We propose that firms that rely more on high‐skilled workers and/or operate within industries with a higher share of available candidates with online profiles are more likely to hunt for their talent. We find support for this conjecture using two data sets, documenting the worker and firm side of the labor market. Data from a nationally representative survey of 10,000 workers shows they are more likely to have been “hunted” by their employer if they work in an occupation that requires more skills, or if their industry has more candidates with online profiles. Moreover, data on US‐wide job postings over the past decade shows that firms in need of highly skilled workers are more likely to invest in outbound recruiting capabilities.
摘要研究总结我们分析了企业驱动的劳动力市场搜索,即企业“寻找”人才,而不是依靠工人申请职位空缺。我们利用了三种方法。我们开发了一个企业驱动搜索的模型,并推导出企业使用该渠道的均衡条件。我们使用两个数据源来测试我们模型的预测。一项对1万名工人进行的具有全国代表性的调查数据显示,通过招聘聘用的比例从1991年的4.9%上升到2022年的14.3%。对于高技能员工和在LinkedIn上有个人资料的员工来说,这一比例更大。我们用2010年到2020年的在线招聘信息的数据来补充这一分析。与我们的模型和员工调查证据一致,我们发现需要高技能员工或在大量使用领英的劳动力市场运营的公司更有可能“寻找人才”。我们研究了“寻找”人才的现象,即公司通过寻找员工并邀请他们参加招聘过程来填补空缺职位,而不是依靠员工直接申请。我们发现,通过狩猎雇佣的工人比例从1991年的4.9%上升到2022年的14.3%。我们建议,那些更依赖高技能工人和/或在拥有更高比例在线简历的可用候选人的行业中运营的公司更有可能寻找他们的人才。我们发现支持这一猜想使用两个数据集,记录工人和企业方面的劳动力市场。一项对全国1万名员工进行的具有代表性的调查数据显示,如果他们从事的职业对技能要求更高,或者他们所在行业有更多在线简历的求职者,他们更有可能被雇主“猎杀”。此外,美国过去十年的招聘数据显示,需要高技能工人的公司更有可能投资于海外招聘能力。

Data from a nationally representative survey of 10,000 workers shows they are more likely to have been “hunted” by their employer if they work in an occupation that requires more skills, or if their industry has more candidates with online profiles. Moreover, data on US‐wide job postings over the past decade shows that firms in need of highly skilled workers are more likely to invest in outbound recruiting capabilities.","PeriodicalId":22023,"journal":{"name":"Strategic Management Journal","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135635030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Abstract Research Summary This study examines the role of information in the gender gap in the executive labor market from the market frictions perspective. I ask whether increases in objective and reliable information about managerial quality close the gender gap in career advancements. To obtain exogenous variation in the availability of information, I exploit a natural experiment provided by the adoption of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in 2005 by the European Union countries. I find that when reliable and objective information is more available, women executives are more likely to be hired away with promotion than men, especially from high‐performing firms. However, the gains in advancement rates are dampened in regions where societal views on women in the workplace are less favorable. Managerial Summary Bridging opportunity gaps for underrepresented groups remains a significant challenge for firms and policymakers. This research investigates the role of transparent financial disclosures by firms in closing the gender gap in executive promotions. Utilizing the adoption of the IFRS in EU countries, the study finds that women executives are more likely to be hired away with promotion than men, especially from high‐performing firms. However, less favorable societal views about working women weaken these effects. The study suggests that firms can leverage informational asymmetry in the labor market to access high‐quality managerial resources. Concurrently, firms must be cognizant of how financial regulations may affect their competitive edge in the executive talent market and adjust their internal retention policies accordingly.
摘要本研究从市场摩擦的角度考察了信息在高管劳动力市场性别差异中的作用。我问,关于管理质量的客观可靠信息的增加,是否会缩小职业晋升中的性别差距。为了获得信息可用性的外生变化,我利用了欧盟国家在2005年采用国际财务报告准则(IFRS)所提供的自然实验。我发现,当可靠和客观的信息更容易获得时,女性高管比男性更有可能被提拔,尤其是在高绩效公司。然而,在社会对职场女性的看法不太有利的地区,晋升率的提高受到抑制。对于企业和政策制定者来说,弥合代表性不足群体的机会差距仍然是一个重大挑战。本研究调查了透明的财务披露在缩小高管晋升中的性别差距方面的作用。研究发现,在欧盟国家采用国际财务报告准则的情况下,女性高管比男性高管更有可能被提拔,尤其是在高绩效公司。然而,社会对职业女性不太有利的看法削弱了这些影响。研究表明,企业可以利用劳动力市场的信息不对称来获取高质量的管理资源。同时,企业必须认识到金融监管如何影响其在高管人才市场上的竞争优势,并相应地调整其内部保留政策。
