Using U.S. Census microdata on plant‐level growth expectations, we find that plants within multi‐location firms make forecasts that are both more certain and less accurate than those of standalone plants. We provide evidence suggesting that headquarters infers uncertainty from inter‐plant forecast disagreement, and that headquarters is able to facilitate the use of relevant information held by one plant but applicable to another. Differences between peer and focal plants' forecasts predict forecast errors and relate to investment decisions at the focal plant, suggesting that information from multiple sources is integrated into capital allocation decisions. Headquarters' heavier use of peer plant forecast information when focal plants are more uncertain likely weakens focal plant managers' incentives to consider extreme scenarios when forecasting.","PeriodicalId":48414,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Accounting Research","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712190","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Traditional theories predominantly concentrate on macro-level concepts, often overlooking the relationship between technological capability and regional economic growth, which has seldom been empirically examined. From the perspective of ‘technology space’, we select data on Chinese invention patents to construct indicators and explore its impact on economic growth. Our empirical results reveal that technological capability is a significant driver of regional economic growth. Our findings reveal four notable results. (1) Technological capability positively promotes regional growth but exhibits certain non-linear characteristics wherein as technological capability improves, its marginal effect on economic growth diminishes. (2) Technological capability primarily fosters regional economic growth through technological upgrading, industrial diversification and knowledge spillover mechanisms. (3) The policy environment and market conditions moderate the promotional effect of local technological capability on regional economic growth. (4) The economic growth effect of technological capability is time-dynamic and exhibits regional heterogeneity. The conclusions of this study deepen the understanding of regional development theory in terms of technology path dependence and breakthrough mechanisms, revealing technological capability as a core driving force behind regional economic evolution and redefining the logic of regional economic growth.

Accordingly, this study examines the moderating effects of natural disaster uncertainty and climate policy uncertainty on firms' pursuit of renewable energy innovation following climate change–induced disasters. Through an in‐depth analysis grounded in the behavioral theory of the firm and integrated with the threat rigidity model, this study explores how these uncertainties influence firms' behavior following climatic threats. Using a difference‐in‐difference‐in‐differences approach in confluence with meta‐analysis, the study scrutinizes the pursuit of renewable energy innovation among US firms from 2013 to 2018. The findings indicate that natural disaster uncertainty significantly dampens firms' pursuit of renewable energy innovation postclimatological disasters. Theoretically, our study enhances the understanding of how climate risks affect innovation behavior, highlighting the critical role of natural disaster uncertainty. It bridges a crucial gap in the academic discourse on climate risk and renewable energy innovation, offering practical insights for managers and policy‐makers. For managers, the findings highlight the need for robust risk management to sustain innovation. Further, for policy‐makers, this research provides rich insights into developing supportive regulatory frameworks and investment incentives to mitigate climate risks and advance sustainable energy solutions amidst climate challenges.","PeriodicalId":9518,"journal":{"name":"Business Strategy and The Environment","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":13.4,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144712317","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}

To reconcile the inconsistent findings in existing literature, this paper establishes a unified framework and demonstrates that institutional investors exert a curvilinear effect on firm innovation investment. The initial funding provided by institutional investors serves as a catalyst for innovation spending through an influx of resource-based positive net effect into the firm. However, with institutional shareholding goes up, there is a turning point where the negative myopia effect exceeds the positive resource effect and takes dominance, thereafter more excessive institutional investment leads to a decline in innovation investment due to the net negative effect of institutional invest on the focal firm's strategic decision-making. We also postulate that gender-specific management styles could moderate this effect such that excessive institutional holdings reduce innovation investment at a slower rate. We test our arguments using a multiple-sourced panel dataset covering 2066 Chinese publicly listed firms from 2011 to 2019. Results show that (1) institutional investors have a curvilinear impact, taking an inverted U-shape, on firm innovation investment, and (2) the presence of women executives in top management teams moderates this curvilinear relationship.

Most studies of this kind posit that transformation originates and is executed from the top, relegating others to the role of bystanders and/or recipients of the change. However, transformation by peripheral agents is possible and sometimes even necessary, given the inherent conservativism of top management and the disruptive and political nature of Digital Transformation (DT). To our knowledge, only few studies have examined the conditions or processes whereby DT originates from the periphery, and no study has theorized such conditions. To address this void, we theorize such transformation as a process of outflanking wherein peripheral agents deploy IT systems to initiate, promote, and actualize the DT of a resisting organization encumbered by high political inertia. The concept of outflanking is inductively inferred from the longitudinal study of a successful 15-year DT journey experienced by a mid-sized Swedish city. The case narrates the city’s DT as a political process and draws on a rich data corpus collected from multiple sources (interviews, archival data, system documentation). Our analysis reveals that during outflanking, peripheral agents deployed three IT-use tactics—shielding, enrolling, and repurposing—which led to successfully overcoming the strong and persistent political inertia. The surprising findings invite a fuller theorizing of the roles IT can play as a means during DT and the (peripheral) actor heterogeneity in initiating, enabling, and effectuating DT. Given the rise of distributed, flexible, and powerful low-cost IT solutions that offer peripheral agents ample opportunity to outflank the core’s resistance, tactical IT use and peripheral agents’ role in DT will likely grow in significance in the future.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50037,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Strategic Information Systems","volume":"35 1","pages":"Article 101924"},"PeriodicalIF":8.7,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144704517","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Grounded in construal level theory, we investigate how two appearance characteristics, specifically human-likeness (human-like vs. avatar-like) and beauty type (typical vs. unique), affect social psychological distance and, consequently, coping behavioral intentions following virtual influencer service failures. We also explore the moderating roles of service failure severity and consumer attribution (internal vs. external) in the relationship between social psychological distance and their behavioral intentions. Data were collected from 304 U.S. women in their 20s and 30s. Results confirmed that human-like virtual influencers with typical beauty reduce social psychological distance, prompting greater reconciliation rather than avoidance or revenge after service failures. In contrast, avatar-like virtual influencers with unique beauty increase social psychological distance and foster more adverse behavioral intentions. Moreover, less severe service failures elicit milder consumer responses, including lower avoidance and higher reconciliation intentions, when SPD is lower; however, severe failures intensify adverse reactions, including higher avoidance and lower reconciliation intentions, when SPD is higher. Lastly, consumer attribution, whether they tend to blame internal or external cues, moderates the causal relationships between SPD and those three behavioral intentions as well. These findings suggest that marketers leveraging virtual influencers should develop tailored recovery strategies considering appearance cues of virtual influencers, social psychological distance, service failure severity, and consumers’ attribution tendencies.

This study finds that (1) technological spillovers from imported intermediate goods significantly increase the high-technology innovation level of local firms, generating a 'technological dividend'. However, they have no significant effect on low-technology innovation, potentially triggering a 'low-end lock-in' effect. (2) Technological spillovers reduce innovation costs by enhancing regional absorptive capacity, where the import of semifinished products directly drives high-technology breakthroughs through product innovation, while the import of components indirectly optimizes innovation efficiency through process innovation. (3) The spatial spillover effect of high-technology innovation is significant, forming innovation clusters centred on the Yangtze and Pearl River Deltas, while the regional collaborative effect of low-technology innovation is relatively weak. This research provides a theoretical basis for developing countries to balance import expansion and independent innovation. It suggests strengthening regional absorptive capacity and innovation ecosystem construction to avoid the risk of low-end lock-in and to achieve global value chain upgrading.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":46792,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Innovation & Knowledge","volume":"10 5","pages":"Article 100766"},"PeriodicalIF":15.6,"publicationDate":"2025-07-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144711207","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}
