Mastering aesthetics is a precious source of competitive advantage in creative industries. In fashion, innovation is reflected by how and how much styles change. Elite designers claim to be the only endogenous force shaping fashion innovation season by season. Yet, each season, fashion critics vet the new collections these designers introduce, assessing what is original as opposed to reworked and uninspired, in this way playing a fundamental role as gatekeepers in setting taste within the industry. In this research, we document how stylistic innovation, vis-a-vis the styles premier design houses introduced each season, is impacted, among the others, by the specific exogenous force of critics' assessments of designers' past work. Our data, which include 61 measures detailing the styles introduced by 38 prestigious Italian and French design houses over a nine-year period, suggest designers move further away from styles reviewed less favourably while adhering more closely to styles reviewed more positively. Additionally, the styles a designer introduces are shown to depend on critical assessments of competing designers' styles, revealing how design houses attend to each other's work. This work documents the strong correlation between style dynamics and critics' feedback. It also has important implications for any company trying to find a balance between independence and conformity in setting its own unique positioning into the market.

The concept of style is gaining momentum in organizational research. Focussing on its implications for strategy, this paper presents a conceptual and methodological framework to make the notion of style operational and applicable to both research and practice. Style is defined here as a combinatorial, socially situated and semiotic device that can be organized into typologies – recurrent combinations of stylistic dimensions exerting a normative and semiotic function within and across contexts. The empirical analysis, situated in the field of electronic music, considers the music genres and the colour dimension of artists' appearance as components of their style. Results show how coherent style typologies normatively dominate the field and how non-conformist but coherent typologies correspond to superior creative performance. Operating as unifying device, style can transform varied and potentially confounding traits into distinctiveness and shed light on competitive market dynamics that cannot be fully explained via other theoretical constructs.

Employee mobility has significant implications for the ability of organizations to transform their capabilities and increase their competitive advantage. Research from different disciplines have examined the strategic implications of the internal employee mobility (i.e., lateral vs. promotion) and of the external employee mobility (i.e., within and between industries; move to rivals and employee entrepreneurship). However, a unifying conceptual structure within and across different disciplines will enhance our ability to gain comparative insights regarding the varying effects of the various mechanisms associated with each type of mobility.

Organizational cultures that facilitate collaboration are valuable, but little is known about how to create them. The authors investigate the microfoundations of this problem using computational models of dyadic coupled learning. The authors find that merely altering initial beliefs about the consequence of actions (without altering the consequences themselves) can under some conditions create cultures that promote collaboration. The results of this study show why the right initial “framing” of a situation – established for instance through persuasive rhetoric, an inspiring vision, or careful recruitment choices – may under the right conditions be self-reinforcing, instead of becoming empty symbolism.

A long tradition of research has examined the determinants and consequences of organization design. Scholars in this field have mainly been concerned with the extent of empirical variation in organizational structures and the factors driving such variation (Chandler, 1962; Child, 1972; Donaldson, 2001). This stream of research has also charted the role that organization design plays in orchestrating a firm’s overall decision making and in the organizational behavior that follows (Burton & Obel, 1984; Galbraith, 1977; Mintzberg, 1979; Puranam, 2018; Simon, 1947). This extensive body of work draws its explanatory power from a variety of theories: behavioral theory of the firm, structural contingency theory, resource dependence, information processing, social networks, the knowledge-based view, and team theory. At the same time, organization design research is united as regards two key observations namely, that the central problems of design are: (1) how best to divide the organization into subunits and (2) how best to integrate or coordinate those subunits in support of the firm’s overall goals (Lawrence & Lorsch, 1967). This work accordingly acknowledges that there is no single template for “good organization,” much of which depends on the external environment and the firm’s own interdependencies (Thompson, 1967). Although the essence of design’s fundamental problems is still a touchstone in contemporary research, much is changing. Research on organization design has grown in the last decade as academics and managers have become increasingly preoccupied with the relevance of design for organizational strategy,
