Abstract In this study, we examine how organizational rules source knowledge. By knowledge sourcing of a rule, we mean the formation of reference ties from the rule to knowledge sources located outside of the focal rule. Rules can source knowledge from sources within the organization (e.g., other rules) and outside (e.g., research publications, policies, standards, etc.). Our theoretical model proposes that knowledge sourcing of rules is driven by inherent incompleteness of rules as a result of bounded rationality of rule makers and rule making process. Incomplete rules can lead to experiences of insufficient rule knowledge, termed “knowledge gaps,” which are shaped by rule dynamics at the levels of individual rules, the rule system, and rule networks. Our theoretical model leads to several hypotheses that we test with longitudinal archival data of clinical practice guideline (CPG) changes in a Canadian healthcare organization. The findings support our theoretical model of incomplete organizational rules which encounter knowledge gaps and close them through internal and external knowledge sourcing. The theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
摘要本研究探讨组织规则如何产生知识。规则的知识来源是指从规则到位于焦点规则之外的知识来源的参考联系的形成。规则可以从组织内部(例如,其他规则)和外部(例如,研究出版物、政策、标准等)获取知识。我们的理论模型提出,规则的知识来源是由规则制定者和规则制定过程的有限理性所导致的规则固有的不完全性所驱动的。不完整的规则可能导致规则知识不足的经验,称为“知识缺口”,这是由单个规则、规则系统和规则网络层面的规则动态形成的。我们的理论模型导致了几个假设,我们测试了纵向档案数据的临床实践指南(CPG)变化在加拿大医疗保健组织。研究结果支持了我们的理论模型,即不完整的组织规则会遇到知识缺口,并通过内部和外部的知识来源来弥补它们。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。

Abstract We explore the limitations of the adaptationist view of evolution and propose an alternative. While gradual adaptation can explain some biological and economic diversity, it cannot account for radical innovation (especially during the past 10,000 years). We argue that ubiquitously available but dormant “functional excess” provides the raw material for evolutionary disruptions. Harnessing this excess requires directed experimentation and what we call “protoscientific” problem solving. We highlight the implications of these arguments for evolutionary theory, including evolutionary economics and strategy.
摘要:本文探讨了适应主义进化论的局限性,并提出了一种替代观点。虽然逐渐适应可以解释一些生物和经济多样性,但它不能解释激进的创新(特别是在过去的一万年中)。我们认为,无处不在但处于休眠状态的“功能过剩”为进化中断提供了原材料。利用这种过剩需要有指导的实验和我们称之为“原始科学”的问题解决方法。我们强调这些论点对进化理论的影响,包括进化经济学和战略。

Abstract The notion of organizational routine has been at the core of behavioral and evolutionary theories in economics, management and organization studies, but has also been a source of debate and controversy. The discussion has concerned the very definition of what organizational routines are (and are not), their nature, consequences, and units of observation and analysis. In this short introductory article, we try to establish some useful common grounds which, notwithstanding the diversity of definitions and approaches, could promote future useful lines of research. We see the contributions to this special section as moving forward the research on routines in that direction.
组织常规的概念一直是经济学、管理学和组织研究中行为和进化理论的核心,但也一直是争论和争议的来源。讨论涉及到组织例程是什么(不是什么)、它们的性质、后果以及观察和分析的单元的定义。在这篇简短的介绍性文章中,我们试图建立一些有用的共同基础,尽管定义和方法的多样性,可以促进未来有用的研究方向。我们认为对这一特殊章节的贡献推动了对例程的研究朝着这个方向发展。

How stable routines can empower varied behaviors: defining routines as organizational capacities 稳定的例程如何赋予不同的行为力量:将例程定义为组织能力

Abstract A principal argument in this paper is that the claimed discrepancy between (largely static) routines and their potentially varied behavioral outcomes derives principally from questionable definitions of routines based on (patterns of) behavior. Definitions based mainly on behaviors are often defective, partly because they evade the causal processes, mental states, and social relations that can give rise to the behavior. Instead, it is argued here that routines should be defined in terms of conditional dispositions or capacities, allowing analysis of how those capacities are acquired, developed, and triggered. With this dispositional approach, the apparent discrepancy between fixed routines and varied behaviors disappears, because fixed routines may have conditional elements that respond to different ways to different cues. It is argued that much discourse on routines is still affected by residues of behaviorist psychology, surviving long after its heyday in the 1960s, and even among some critics of these doctrines. The paper considers what a definition of a routine must entail, and it offers a suitable definition.
摘要本文的一个主要论点是,(基本上是静态的)例程与它们潜在的变化的行为结果之间的差异主要源于基于(行为模式)的例程的可疑定义。主要基于行为的定义往往是有缺陷的,部分原因是它们回避了导致行为的因果过程、精神状态和社会关系。相反,本文认为应该根据条件倾向或能力来定义惯例,以便分析这些能力是如何获得、发展和触发的。有了这种倾向的方法,固定的习惯和不同的行为之间的明显差异就消失了,因为固定的习惯可能有条件因素,对不同的线索做出不同的反应。有人认为,许多关于日常生活的论述仍然受到行为主义心理学残余的影响,这些残余在20世纪60年代达到鼎盛时期后很长时间仍然存在,甚至在这些学说的一些批评者中也存在。本文考虑了例程的定义必须包含哪些内容,并给出了一个合适的定义。

Abstract As different crowdsourcing routines (metaphorically labeled as “fishing” and “hunting” in this study) are available to address highly technical problems, solution-seeking organizations need to mindfully design, select, and deploy crowdsourcing routines that account for the behavior and motivation of experts. Drawing on a survey involving 260 experts in science, technology, engineering, and math fields, we found that elite experts (individuals with seniority, aged over 40, and a proven track record in the field with numerous publications and patents) are generally less inclined to search for crowdsourcing open calls and prefer to be contacted by solution seekers. In contrast, non-elite experts (early career experts, aged under 40, and with fewer patents and publications) actively search to find open calls. Regarding their motivational underpinnings, our findings suggest that elite experts are motivated more by non-financial incentives than non-elite experts. Furthermore, as the frequency with which they are contacted increases, non-elite experts tend to prefer more non-financial over financial incentives. These results indicate that the fishing crowdsourcing routine generally elicits solutions from unproven, non-elite experts who demand more financial rewards. However, the hunting routine taps a pool of elite experts with proven capabilities who are less financially oriented and thus may provide better, yet less expensive solutions.
由于不同的众包程序(在本研究中隐喻地标记为“钓鱼”和“狩猎”)可用于解决高度技术性的问题,寻求解决方案的组织需要谨慎地设计、选择和部署众包程序,以解释专家的行为和动机。我们对260名科学、技术、工程和数学领域的专家进行了调查,发现精英专家(年龄在40岁以上,在该领域拥有大量出版物和专利的资深人士)通常不太倾向于搜索众包公开电话,而是更愿意与寻求解决方案的人联系。相比之下,非精英专家(职业生涯初期的专家,年龄在40岁以下,专利和出版物较少)会积极寻找公开招聘。关于他们的动机基础,我们的研究结果表明,精英专家比非精英专家更容易受到非经济激励的激励。此外,随着与他们接触频率的增加,非精英专家往往更喜欢非经济激励而不是经济激励。这些结果表明,捕鱼众包通常会从未经证实的非精英专家那里获得解决方案,这些专家要求更多的经济回报。然而,这种狩猎程序利用了一群精英专家,他们的能力得到了证明,他们不太以财务为导向,因此可能会提供更好、更便宜的解决方案。

Abstract Alliance partners must address goal conflicts to improve performance. Structural solutions to conflict emphasize alliance governance mechanisms like contracts, authority, and control structures, overlooking the role of individual actors and thus limiting our understanding of how alliance participants manage conflict. To address this, we introduce the concept of routine regulation and use the Fiat–Tata alliance to illustrate our insights and explore the microfoundations of organizational conflict through a process perspective, focusing on what participants actually do to balance goal conflicts.
联盟伙伴必须解决目标冲突以提高绩效。冲突的结构性解决方案强调联盟治理机制,如契约、权威和控制结构,忽视了个体行动者的作用,从而限制了我们对联盟参与者如何管理冲突的理解。为了解决这个问题,我们引入了常规监管的概念,并使用菲亚特-塔塔联盟来说明我们的见解,并通过过程视角探索组织冲突的微观基础,重点关注参与者为平衡目标冲突所做的实际工作。

Diversification as an adaptive learning process: an empirical study of general-purpose and market-specific technological know-how in new market entry 作为适应性学习过程的多样化:新市场进入中通用和市场特定技术诀窍的实证研究

Abstract An enduring trait of modern corporations is their propensity to diversify into multiple lines of business. Penrosian theories conceptualize diversification as a strategy to exploit a firm’s fungible, yet “untradeable,” resources and point to the redeployment of technological know-how as an important driver thereof. However, less understood are the characteristics of technological assets that underlie firms’ diversification decisions and the impact that diversification has on firms’ subsequent development of technologies. In this paper, we expand the existing theories in two ways. First, we argue that central to understanding firms’ diversification decisions is a distinction between their technological assets that are applicable to many markets and ones that are useful in only a limited number of contexts. To this end, we develop a novel way to characterize technologies along a continuum from highly general-purpose to highly market-specific. Second, we explore empirically the idea that diversification is an adaptive learning process involving both the exploitation of existing capabilities and the creation of novel ones. Using data on three decades of patenting and diversification histories of 28,376 firms, we find that (i) a firm’s possession of general-purpose technological assets is positively associated with its decision to diversify and (II) firms that enter a new industry through diversification develop technologies that are specialized to the target industry. Our findings have implications for understanding firm growth, diversification, and evolution.
现代企业的一个经久不衰的特点是它们倾向于将业务多样化。彭罗斯理论将多元化概念化为一种利用公司可替代但“不可交易”资源的策略,并指出技术诀窍的重新部署是其重要驱动因素。然而,企业多元化决策背后的技术资产特征以及多元化对企业后续技术发展的影响却鲜为人知。本文从两个方面对已有的理论进行了拓展。首先,我们认为理解企业多元化决策的核心是区分适用于许多市场的技术资产和仅在有限情况下有用的技术资产。为此,我们开发了一种新的方法来描述从高度通用到高度市场特异性的连续体中的技术。其次,我们从实证角度探讨了多元化是一个适应性学习过程,既包括对现有能力的利用,也包括对新能力的创造。利用28,376家企业30年的专利和多元化历史数据,我们发现(i)企业拥有通用技术资产与其多元化决策正相关,(II)通过多元化进入新行业的企业开发的技术专门针对目标行业。我们的研究结果对理解企业成长、多元化和进化具有启示意义。

Urban manufacturing and the role of industrial relatedness in sustaining it: the case of the Brussels Capital Region 城市制造业和工业关联性在维持城市制造业中的作用:以布鲁塞尔首都地区为例

Abstract This paper revisits the ongoing discussion on the concept of industrial relatedness by applying it to manufacturing industries in urban areas. The analysis uses a sample of firms operating in the Brussels Capital Region area and observed over the period 2009–2015. Based on a two-step quantile regression, results show that industrial relatedness is the agglomeration force that mostly sustains the performance of urban manufacturing, whereas this is not the case for other types of agglomeration externalities. Moreover, among the measures of industrial relatedness, the input–output relationship matters more than product similarity in the perspective of a relocation of manufacturing firms in urban areas.
本文通过将产业关联概念应用于城市地区的制造业,重新审视了对产业关联概念的讨论。该分析使用了在布鲁塞尔首都地区运营的公司样本,并观察了2009-2015年期间的情况。基于两步分位数回归的结果表明,产业关联性是支撑城市制造业绩效的集聚力,而其他类型的集聚外部性并非如此。此外,在产业关联度的测度中,从制造业企业在城市地区搬迁的角度来看,投入产出关系比产品相似性更重要。

The technological regime and barriers to entry 技术制度和进入壁垒

Abstract The impact of the technological regime, defined in terms of appropriability, cumulativeness, and opportunity conditions on firms, has been examined in multiple studies. Within the analysis of technological regimes, firm entry has been of consistent interest due to its implications on competition and how firms may decide to enter an industry. However, studies show that two sources of nonlinearities warrant closer inspection, which could be achieved by looking at the entry of individual firms. The first is the interaction effects of the various dimensions of technological regimes. Their relevance is supported by both theoretical and empirical evidence, the analysis of which could be valuable for identifying the mechanisms behind the relationship between the technological regime and firm entry. Another is the role heterogeneity among entrants plays on the impact of the technological regime on firm entry, which has been found to be an important factor in many other aspects of firm behavior. This study thus aims to examine these two sources of nonlinearities, which can have significant implications for both firm strategy and policy.
技术制度对企业的影响,定义为适宜性、累积性和机会条件,已经在多项研究中进行了检验。在对技术制度的分析中,企业进入一直是人们感兴趣的问题,因为它对竞争的影响以及企业如何决定进入一个行业。然而,研究表明,非线性的两个来源需要更仔细的检查,这可以通过观察个别公司的进入来实现。首先是技术制度各方面的相互作用。它们的相关性得到理论和经验证据的支持,对这些证据的分析对于确定技术制度和企业进入之间关系背后的机制可能是有价值的。另一个是进入者之间的角色异质性对技术制度对企业进入的影响所起的作用,这已被发现是企业行为许多其他方面的一个重要因素。因此,本研究旨在研究这两种非线性来源,这对企业战略和政策都有重要意义。

Abstract In this contribution, we propose machine learning techniques to predict zombie firms. First, we derive the risk of failure by training and testing our algorithms on disclosed financial information and nonrandom missing values of 304,906 firms active in Italy from 2008 to 2017. We then identify the highest financial distress conditional on predictions that lie above a threshold for which a combination of the false positive rate (false prediction of firm failure) and the false negative rate (false prediction of active firms) is minimized. Therefore, we identify zombies as firms that remain in financial distress, i.e., whose forecasts fall into the risk category above the threshold for at least three consecutive years. To this end, we implement a gradient boosting algorithm (XGBoost) that exploits information about missing values. The inclusion of missing values in our prediction model is crucial because patterns of undisclosed accounts are correlated with firm failure. Finally, we show that our preferred machine learning algorithm outperforms (i) proxy models such as Z-scores and the distance-to-default, (ii) traditional econometric methods, and (iii) other widely used machine learning techniques. We provide evidence that zombies are less productive and smaller on average and that they tend to increase in times of crisis. Finally, we argue that our application can help financial institutions and public authorities design evidence-based policies—e.g., optimal bankruptcy laws and information disclosure policies.
在这篇文章中,我们提出了机器学习技术来预测僵尸企业。首先,我们对2008年至2017年在意大利活跃的304,906家公司的披露财务信息和非随机缺失值进行了训练和测试,得出了失败的风险。然后,我们确定了最高的财务困境,条件是预测高于一个阈值,在这个阈值下,假阳性率(对企业倒闭的错误预测)和假阴性率(对活跃企业的错误预测)的组合最小。因此,我们将僵尸公司定义为仍然处于财务困境的公司,即其预测至少连续三年落入高于阈值的风险类别。为此,我们实现了一个梯度增强算法(XGBoost),它利用了关于缺失值的信息。在我们的预测模型中包含缺失值是至关重要的,因为未披露账户的模式与公司失败相关。最后,我们表明,我们首选的机器学习算法优于(i)代理模型,如z分数和默认距离,(ii)传统的计量经济学方法,以及(iii)其他广泛使用的机器学习技术。我们提供的证据表明,僵尸的生产力较低,平均体型较小,而且在危机时期往往会增加。最后,我们认为我们的应用程序可以帮助金融机构和公共当局设计基于证据的政策。最优破产法律和信息披露政策。
