We answer the question “How do companies develop and deploy supply chain structural ambidexterity to effectively manage geopolitical disruptions?” by investigating three significant geopolitical disruptions: Brexit, the US-China trade war, and the Covid-19 pandemic. We use an inductive theory-elaboration approach to build on Organisational Learning Theory and Dunning’s eclectic paradigm of international production. We conducted 29 elite interviews with senior supply chain executives across 14 multi-national manufacturing firms and validated the analysis by triangulating secondary data sources, including standard operating procedures, annual reports, and organizational protocols. When faced with significant geopolitical disruptions, companies develop and deploy supply chain structural ambidexterity by (1) developing parallel supply chains; (2) significantly reconfiguring their supplier networks, and (3) restructuring their internal sub-units. We contribute to Organisational Learning Theory and Dunning’s eclectic paradigm by empirically examining how companies reconfigure supply chains to pursue exploration and exploitation activities in response to geopolitical disruptions. During significant geopolitical disruptions, managers make decisions in tight timeframes. Therefore, we propose three types of supply chain structural ambidexterity based on the transition time available. We conclude with a managerial framework to assist firms in developing supply chain structural ambidexterity in response to geopolitical disruptions.

More than thirty years after Lave and Wenger’s Situated Learning: legitimate peripheral participation (1991), the concepts of communities of practice and situated learning are widely used by academics and practitioners. In this symposium, we aim to revisit the past developments around CoP and situated learning and offer insights for future research. We will a) take stock of the use of the concept of CoP in management and organization studies since its introduction in 1991 and examine whether the concept is still relevant in the current historical conditions (Davide Nicolini and Paul Duguid) b) examine how the concept can be further expanded and elaborated (Etienne and Beverley Wenger-Trayner) and c) Examine new research opportunities that could arise from a dialogue between the study of COPs and future of work.

Access to state-controlled resources can be a major source of firm-level competitive advantage. However, we know little regarding which firms are most likely positioned to capture the state and access resources beyond what their rule-complying merits command. This is partially due to the challenge in identifying irregular state funding that violates official resource-allocation rules. We study a leading innovation grant program in China, and we leverage unique access to the focal grant agency’s administrative data to trace its grant allocation process. We observe occurrences of rule-violating funding and show that firms vary in capability to influence the agency’s funding decision, depending on geographic proximity, as well as other institutional variables. The observed irregular awards are most likely associated with crony capitalism rather than bureaucratic heroism.

Mental health challenges have increased since the COVID-19 pandemic was declared. In this context, peer support has proved to be a valuable resource. In many jurisdictions, peer support services have moved online, offered virtually by peer support workers who have engaged in work from home. Despite the importance and prevalence of virtual mental health peer support during the pandemic, there has been a paucity of research that examines how working from home influences PSWs’ work-life boundaries. This research aims to examine work-life boundary challenges and management of PSWs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with paid PSWs in a peer support organization. Data was analyzed thematically using inductive and deductive approaches. Descriptive coding utilizing participants’ terms was followed by inferential coding informed by boundary theory. The work-life boundary challenges were temporal, physical, and task-related. PSWs’ strategies to address these boundaries involved segmenting work-life domains by creating separate timescapes, spaces, and tasks and integrating domains by allowing some permeability between the areas of work and life. This study highlights the need to attend to the consequences of greater work-life integration for mental health workers. Implications for theory, future research, management, and policy of health workforce are discussed.

HR Analytics (HRA) has gained attention of practitioners and scholars under the promise of providing basis for better decision-making. However, the question about how HRA can be effectively used to support decisions in organizations remains unanswered. Although some scholars suggest Evidence-Based Management (EBM) as a theoretical approach through which HRA would effectively contribute to decisions, the idea has not been empirically tested. Therefore, this study’s objective is to analyze how HRA leads to talent decision-making through the EBM approach. The analysis of how HRA leads to decisions was grounded in the interaction between HR Analytics and EBM along the decision-making process (DMP). A qualitative research approach was employed to assess HR Analytics decision processes performed in organizations located in Brazil. The study relied on 8 semi-structured interviews with professionals who have led or played an important role in a HR Analytics decision process. Content and template analyses were employed as data analysis methods. It was found the Evidence-Based Management approach seemed relevant to (a) provide evidence needed to the conduction of a quantitative analysis and (b) to intermediate HRA’s inputs to decisions. The results also shed light on the nature and different roles of these inputs.

Does having additional women participate in research and product development teams result in more successful products downstream? We examine this question in the context of the pharmaceutical industry which has suffered from historically low women participation in the patent invention teams, leading US congress to act. Using a unique database compiled from data obtained from the FDA through a Freedom of Information Act, US Patent and Trademark Office, and Compustat, we examine our central hypothesis that women’s participation in patent invention teams is associated with a higher likelihood of FDA-approved drug, but with diminishing returns. Results from 268,631 patents filed by 214 US publicly traded companies show support for the negative U-shaped relationship. We validate our results with numerous robustness checks. We also demonstrate two mechanisms for the relationship: novelty and attention to women subjects in the early stages. A post hoc analysis shows that women’s participation in patent invention teams also reduces the probability of future recall of a patented invention. Our study is particularly timely because women’s participation rates have stagnated at around 12% since 1998, while our results show that the highest likelihood of FDA approval is when women’s participation proportion is at around 40%. We posit that these results provide a strong economic rationale and empirical support to managers and policymakers respectively, for increasing women’s participation in research and product development initiatives.
