ABSTRACT This study unpacks how responsible leadership driven by a social mission can accomplish both social objectives and financial goals to support an organization's survival. We focus on a social enterprise in the healthcare industry in China and examine how it balances its social mission and economic goals by enlarging the capacity of medical institutions and providing high-quality services to a high number of patients. Through our analysis of the case firm, we reveal the motivation and actions of an entrepreneur in establishing a socially responsible firm and the social implications of responsible leadership in operating such an enterprise. We provide an important supplement and extension to the work of Smith and Besharov (2019) by demonstrating how a responsible leader in China manages the process of balancing social and economic goals. We further contribute to the understanding of how a socially responsible firm can improve the healthcare industry and the reform of China's healthcare.

ABSTRACT In this research, we explore how supply networks and board interlocks – as distinct, yet parallel interorganizational networks – jointly influence firms’ entry into new technology domains and exit from old technology domains. Drawing from the perspectives of social networks and organizational learning we highlight the relevance of the interdependency between these networks for a firm's technological entry and exit decisions. We argue that a firm that maintains a large number of supplier ties is more likely to enter new technology domains and exit from old technology domains instead. We further find empirical evidence that the degree centrality of a firm in its board interlock network strengthens these effects. Our theoretical arguments are supported through stochastic actor-based modeling analysis for the longitudinal and multilevel networks of 86 firms active in the Chinese automotive during 2011–2015. These findings inform the literature on interorganizational network dynamics as we insert relational pluralism to examine the complexities of organizational relationships as antecedents to a firms’ technological entry and exit. Finally, we imagine the implications of our analysis for management as they shed light on how multiple interorganizational relationships affect firms’ decisions on new technology entry and old technology exit. 摘要： 本研究探讨了供应网络和董事会连锁作为不同但平行的组织间网络是如何共同影响企业进入新技术领域和退出旧技术领域的。基于社会网络和组织学习视角，本文强调了这两类网络影响企业技术进入和退出决策的相互依赖性。本文认为保持大量供应商关系的企业更有可能进入新的技术领域以及退出旧的技术领域。同时，企业在董事会连锁网络中的中心度会增强这种效应。作者基于随机行动者模型，对2011-2015年间中国汽车行业86家公司的数据进行了多层次纵向网络实证分析，结果支持了本文的理论观点。本研究引入关系多元化视角，来揭示组织间网络关系复杂性对于企业技术进入和退出的影响，丰富了组织间网络动态相关文献。同时，对于企业通过管理多重组织间关系进而做出新技术进入和旧技术退出决策具有重要实践启示。

Based on the perspectives of social networks and organizational learning, this article emphasizes the interdependence of these two types of networks in influencing enterprise technology entry and exit decisions. This article believes that enterprises that maintain a large number of supplier relationships are more likely to enter new technological fields and exit old ones. At the same time, the centrality of the enterprise in the board chain network will enhance this effect. The author conducted a multi-level vertical network empirical analysis of data from 86 companies in the Chinese automotive industry from 2011 to 2015 based on a random actor model, and the results supported the theoretical viewpoint of this article. This study introduces a diversified perspective of relationships to reveal the impact of the complexity of inter organizational network relationships on enterprise technology entry and exit, enriching relevant literature on inter organizational network dynamics. At the same time, it has important practical implications for enterprises to make decisions on new technology entry and old technology exit by managing multiple organizational relationships.

ABSTRACT In this article, we take a global perspective to assess the impact of the exogenous COVID pandemic shock on business confidence. Through a quantitative analysis of 31 advanced and 12 emerging economies over the period from January 2018 to December 2020, we provide a novel investigation of a unique worldwide event, in contrast to the most frequent exogenous shocks, which typically have a more limited local or regional scope. We proxy business expectations with the business confidence indicator or BCI. First, we find that the containment measures for the COVID pandemic have negatively affected business confidence, with the compulsory policies having a greater negative effect on BCI than the voluntary ones. Second, we find positive spillover effects on the local BCIs from the containment measures implemented in neighboring countries. This suggests that business people are not against compulsory measures per se, but rather that they are less inclined to assume the costs of these. Third, we find that while the severity of containment measures has been greater in emerging countries, the negative impact on BCI of these containment measures has been larger in advanced economies. 摘要： 本文采用全球视角来评估新冠疫情带来的外源性休克给企业家经商信心带来的影响。通过对31个发达经济体和12个发展中经济体从2018年1月至2020年12月数据的量化分析，我们对该全球性事件进行了调研。使用企业家的 “商业期待” 来代表其经商信心，我们发现了几个重要结果。首先，新冠防疫措施挫伤了经商信心，措施越严厉，负面效应越大。其次，邻国由于疫情措施对经商信心的挫伤会产生溢出效应，而影响本地企业家的经商信心。第三，虽然发展中经济体的防疫措施更加严厉，但其负面影响却在发达经济体中更大。

Abstract Existing research examining the curvilinear relationship between network centrality and performance tends to focus on the information recipients’ perspective. Focusing on the information providers’ perspective, our study draws upon social exchange theory to demonstrate that the advice-giving centrality-performance relationship for information providers has an inverse U-shape due to decreasing benefits and increasing costs of maintaining more advice-giving ties. We further show that increasing advice-giving centrality increases the likelihood that individuals would become a hindrance to coworkers, as they become bottlenecks impeding efficient workflow. However, our study demonstrates that political skill enables them to overcome the interpersonal challenges associated with high advice-giving centrality. Specifically, individuals with high political skills can better convert advice-giving ties to resources that could assist their cooperation with coworkers, reducing the hindrance they impose. Overall, we provide insights into the trade-off between the benefits and costs of advice-giving ties from a social exchange perspective and examine political skill as an important mitigator of the downsides of large advice-giving networks – a key area that has been hitherto largely unexplored. 摘要： 现有文献在考察个体社交网络中心度和工作绩效之间的曲线关系时，往往聚焦于信息接收者的视角。本研究站在信息/建议提供者的角度，基于社会交换理论来推断：其建议的网络中心度与其工作绩效呈现倒U型的关系，因为维护与建议接受者的关系，会出现收益递减而成本递增的趋势。此外，建议提供者过高的网络中心度，会使他们成为高效工作流程的瓶颈，从而成为同事工作中的阻碍。我们的研究结果支持上述推论，同时表明，建议提供者的政治技能有助于克服其网络中心度带来的人际挑战。那些政治技能高的个体可以更好地将与建议接收者的关系，转化为有助于和同事开展合作的资源，从而减少同事设置的障碍。总的来说，我们从社会交换的视角解读了建议提供者与接受者关系中的利弊权衡，并考察了政治技能对建议网络的负面影响产生的重要缓解作用。

This study stands from the perspective of information/suggestion providers and infers based on social exchange theory that the network centrality of their suggestions exhibits an inverted U-shaped relationship with their work performance, as maintaining the relationship with suggestion recipients will lead to a trend of diminishing returns and increasing costs. In addition, it is recommended that providers have excessively high network centrality, which can become bottlenecks in efficient workflows and hinder colleagues' work. Our research findings support the above inference and suggest that the political skills of the proposed provider can help overcome the interpersonal challenges posed by their network centrality. Individuals with high political skills can better transform their relationships with suggestion recipients into resources that facilitate collaboration with colleagues, thereby reducing obstacles set by colleagues. Overall, we have interpreted the trade-offs in the relationship between suggestion providers and recipients from the perspective of social exchange, and examined the important mitigating effect of political skills on the negative impact of suggestion networks.

ABSTRACT Strategic management scholars have shown increasing interest in explaining strategic change from the perspective of cognitive bias. However, most studies focus on individual cognitive bias but pay little attention to group cognitive bias. This study introduces a typical group cognitive bias (group polarization) to explain strategic change decisions made by the board of directors. Following the theory of group polarization, we argue that, when the average prior strategic change experienced in performance decline by board directors is relatively high (or low), the focal strategic change in performance decline will become even higher (or lower). We further contend that the proportion of female directors and board versus CEO power as the contingencies can mitigate this group polarization effect. Our hypotheses were strongly supported by a longitudinal sample of Chinese publicly listed companies during 2008–2018. The study's framework and findings contribute to the contextualization of social psychology research on group polarization in the study of board's strategic decision-making.

ABSTRACT How can a firm apply the appropriate interaction between exploration and exploitation with the goal of either radical or incremental innovation? In this study, we seek to answer this puzzling question by reframing exploitation and exploration as a duality of learning (i.e., two modes that are partial complementary for synergy as well as partial conflicting for tradeoff). Specifically, rather than assuming either a positive or negative interaction between exploration and exploitation as prior literature has done, our study highlights a novel pattern of inverted U-shaped interaction between exploration and exploitation for both radical and incremental innovations. With a Chinese sample of 508 firms, our empirical evidence supports our prediction of two patterns of inverted U-shaped interaction of exploration and exploitation. Such unique findings showcase the unique value of reframing paradox into duality from the meta-perspective of yin-yang balancing to shed new light on organizational ambidexterity and innovation management.

ABSTRACT To overcome liabilities of foreignness and outsidership during internationalization, board interlock is an effective conduit of foreign knowledge inflows and organizational learning that firms require. We focus on the time dimension of such influence and hypothesize that the tenure of board interlocks with firms with experience in outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in a country promotes the OFDI decision of the focal firm to that particular country. However, such an effect diminishes as the tenure of interlock ties increases. Moreover, as an alternative knowledge source, OFDI knowledge from the focal firm's neighboring region may weaken the baseline effect. Based on longitudinal data of listed firms in China, our empirical results support the hypotheses. This study enriches the literature on social network learning by identifying its temporal nature and the substitution between different knowledge sources. It also demonstrates the importance of rotating a firm's board members, so that knowledge acquisition and learning remain fresh. 摘要 为了克服企业在国际化过程中遇到的外来者劣势或局外人劣势，企业常常通过建立连锁董事进行组织学习并获取国际知识。本研究关注连锁董事任职时间长短的效应，假设虽然与其他拥有对某一国家的对外直接投资经验企业建立连锁董事会促进本企业对同一国家的对外直接投资决策，但这种影响会随着连锁董事任期的增长而减弱。与此同时，企业拥有的对所在区域的对外直接投资知识可以削弱连锁董事任期对企业国际化决策的影响。本研究采用中国上市公司的面板数据进行了回归分析，结果证实了所提假设。本研究表明，企业在社会网络中学习的时间维度和不同知识来源之间的替代都会影响企业的决策，因此丰富了社会网络学习的相关文献。同时，本研究也阐述了企业董事会成员轮换的重要性，因为只有这样才能获取知识并保持习得知识的新颖性。
ABSTRACT To overcome difficulties of foreign knowledge flows and organizational learning during internationalization, board interlock is an effective duration of foreign knowledge flows and organizational learning that firm requirements We focus on the time dimension of such influence and hyper size that the tension of board interlocks with firms with experience in outward foreign direct investment (OFDI) in a country promotes the OFDI decision of the focal firm to that specific country How, such an effect diminishes as the tension of interlock ties increases More than, as an alternative knowledge source, OFDI knowledge from the focal firm's neighboring region may weaken the baseline effect Based on long-term data of listed firms in China, our empirical results support the hypotheses This study enriches the quality on social network learning by identifying its temporary nature and the substitution between different knowledge sources It also demonstrates the importance of rotating a firm's board members, so that knowledge acquisition and learning remain fresh In order to overcome the disadvantages of outsiders or outsiders encountered by enterprises in the process of internationalization, companies often establish chain directors for organizational learning and acquire international knowledge. This study focuses on the effect of the length of tenure of chain directors. It is assumed that although establishing a chain board with other companies with experience in outward direct investment in a certain country promotes the company's outward direct investment decisions in the same country, this impact will weaken as the tenure of chain directors increases. At the same time, the knowledge of foreign direct investment in the region that a company possesses can weaken the impact of the tenure of chain directors on the company's internationalization decisions. This study used panel data from Chinese listed companies for regression analysis, and the results confirmed the proposed hypothesis. This study indicates that the time dimension of learning in social networks and the substitution between different knowledge sources can both affect the decision-making of enterprises, thus enriching the relevant literature on social network learning. At the same time, this study also elucidates the importance of rotating board members in enterprises, as only in this way can knowledge be acquired and the novelty of acquired knowledge be maintained.

ABSTRACT This article examines whether firms engaged in high levels of voluntary CSR (corporate social responsibility) alter their strategic choices in response to detrimental public policy – specifically India's Companies Act (2013) that mandates qualifying firms to spend 2% of their three-year average net profits on CSR. Drawing on the concept of organizational dormancy, we argue that firm capabilities, political awareness, exposure to political pluralism, and ownership identity may explain choice heterogeneity among these firms. Our key and non-intuitive finding is that even in the absence of discretionary choice in determining optimal CSR expenditure, firms are less likely to choose dormancy and instead embrace and even surpass the stipulations of the law in their CSR contributions. Also, politically aware firms are more likely to opt for dormancy over compliance. Managerial and policy implications are discussed.
