While existing research treats government as a monolithic entity in shaping CSR practices, we argue that varying priorities across governmental levels create multiple government demands that systematically affect firms' CSR decoupling behaviors. Drawing upon neo-institutional theory, we examine how administrative hierarchical distance influences CSR decoupling in China’s regionally decentralized authoritarian regime. Using data from Chinese publicly listed companies, we find that greater administrative hierarchical distance increases firms' propensity to engage in CSR decoupling. This relationship is attenuated in regions with more developed institutions and economies. Our study advances neo-institutional theory by demonstrating how vertical complexity within governmental systems shapes organizational responses to institutional pressures. These findings extend our understanding of CSR decoupling in emerging markets by revealing how layered governmental influences, rather than unified governmental pressure, affect firms' CSR practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18141,"journal":{"name":"Long Range Planning","volume":"58 1","pages":"Article 102497"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143162463","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This phenomenon is explained by structural strain theory: when organizations have innovative goals but limited resources, some employees may pursue these goals without permission. Anecdotal observations, however, reveal underground employee behaviors that do not fit this pattern; underground innovations may serve different purposes and remain permanently invisible. We therefore conducted an explorative study of why and how employees develop underground innovations. Based on interviews and survey data at a multinational automotive company, underground innovations have three orientations: missionary (aimed to change company practices), user (to solve work problems), and exploratory (to cater to developers' passion for exploration). The three orientations differ in their involvement of others, deployed resources, and dissemination efforts. Without missionary orientation, underground innovations are not proactively diffused, inhibiting organizations from reaping their full benefits. We infer a refined theory based on constraints that prevent employees from being openly proactive. Specifically, underground innovation may be triggered by 1. lacking resources to pursue organizational innovation goals, 2. lacking resources and thresholds to improve work processes, and 3. the organization's inability to match work tasks with innovation workers' preferences. The last two constraints are easily overlooked, and organizations will capture more value from their human capital by stimulating the diffusion of user and exploratory-oriented projects.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18141,"journal":{"name":"Long Range Planning","volume":"58 1","pages":"Article 102498"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, customers are active participants in value creation processes, rather than passive recipients. This is especially true in services, where value is created in the interaction between provider and consumer. When designing business models, firms must thus consider customers’ meaning-making activities, which are highly subjective and influenced by cultural frames and personal characteristics. Yet, the business model literature has largely overlooked how firms design business models to articulate new meanings and shape customer perceptions. In this study, we explore the role of business model design in determining how firms articulate new meanings that customers subsequently perceive. We present a comparative case study of two store concepts developed by the same entrepreneur, both introducing the same new meanings. Through in-depth interviews with the founder and CEO, in-store observations, and archival data, we analyze their strategy for introducing new meanings. Additionally, we apply topic modeling to online reviews to examine how customers interpreted these new meanings. Our findings suggest that firms can shape customer perceptions of new meanings through business model design, particularly by leveraging value creation mechanisms tied to value delivery. This study enriches the business model design literature and connects it to the innovation of meaning discourse. It also offers practitioners insights into how to use firm strategy to convey intended meanings to customers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":18141,"journal":{"name":"Long Range Planning","volume":"57 6","pages":"Article 102484"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2024-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142655721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Top managers consider the ‘emotional volume’ of issues that are raised by peripheral actors, in terms of how frequently and emotionally they are expressed, allowing them to determine which issues demand attention and action. When peripheral actors express positive emotions, it signals approval of and support for strategy, whereas expressions of negative emotion can indicate the existence of problems and a need for top managers to adjust the contents of strategy.

We propose two measures of a firm's ability to renew its functional capabilities to align with market conditions: <em>capability heterogeneity</em> (variation in extant capabilities) and <em>capability adaptability</em> (selection among these strategic options). In a 20-year panel of 771 firms, we find environmental change increases the importance of these aspects of <em>how</em> capabilities are managed relative <em>to what</em> capabilities a firm possesses: In stable product-markets, capability heterogeneity and adaptability incur significant costs whereas functional capabilities improve profitability. In contrast, functional capabilities can be detrimental in fluid product-markets whereas heterogeneity and adaptability increase profitability. Notably, marketing capability remains beneficial across environments, acting as a profitable alternative to capability heterogeneity and adaptability when future conditions are uncertain.
