Silence behavior mediates the relationship between knowledge hiding and innovative behavior. Meanwhile, Zhongyong thinking moderates the positive relationship between knowledge hiding and silence behavior, as well as the indirect relationship between knowledge hiding and innovative behavior through silence behavior.

In this study, we examine the relationship between political marriage and the growth of family firms. We analyze this relationship using survey data from parent–child dyads of 164 family firms in mainland China, along with qualitative data from eight semi-structured interviews. Drawing on social capital theory and self-verification theory, we propose that political marriage makes a significant contribution to the growth of family firms. We further propose that the effects of a political marriage on firm growth are moderated by the duration of the marriage and the degree of romantic love experienced by the couples. We find that the positive relationship between political marriage and firm growth is stronger when the duration of the marriage is longer. Our results also reveal a three-way interaction effect of political marriage, length of marriage, and romantic love on firm growth. In this interaction, the positive effect of political marriage is strongest when the marriage is long and the degree of romantic love is low (rather than high). Theoretical and practical implications are discussed. 摘要 政商联姻是家族企业研究中尚未引起广泛关注的一种重要社会资本形式。基于164对家族企业父母-子女的问卷调查数据以及8位家族企业主的半结构访谈的定性数据分析,本研究检验了政商联姻与家族企业成长之间的关系。基于社会资本理论以及自我验证理论,我们认为政商联姻对家族企业的成长具有正向影响。此外,研究结果表明婚姻持续时间与夫妻之间感知的浪漫爱情程度对政商联姻与家族企业成长的关系具有显著的调节作用,即当结婚时间越长时,政商联姻与企业成长之间的正向关系更为显著。我们的研究结果还证实了政商联姻、婚姻持续时间与浪漫爱情对企业成长的三维交互作用,即当婚姻持续时间越长,而夫妻之间感知的浪漫爱情程度越低的情况下,政商联姻对企业成长的积极影响最为显著。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"279 - 318"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-03-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41739199","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Tucci","doi":"10.1017/mor.2021.82","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/mor.2021.82","url":null,"abstract":"I enjoyed reading the paper ‘Business model innovation and experimentation in transforming economies: ByteDance and TikTok’ (Ma & Hu, 2021) and the response by Li (forthcoming). The main point of Ma and Hu’s paper was that companies in emerging economies can experiment with new business models in their home markets and then bring some of that experimentation into other markets. It is sort of the ‘reverse innovation’ (e.g., Govindarajan & Euchner, 2012) taken from the product space and applied to new business models. The role of technology in this story is to enable new services originally targeting a different demographic with a different medium (cf., Amit, Snihur, & Zott, 2021). Li (forthcoming) has a problem with this interpretation of the ByteDance case. He argues that ByteDance had very little business model innovation (BMI) but rather took a savvy approach to internationalization. Li argues that the role of technology in the ByteDance case is more of a means for reducing ‘paradoxical’ tensions between local responsiveness and global integration, i.e., for enabling not business model innovation but rather ‘transnational’ strategies as developed by Bartlett and Ghoshal (1989). What does it take for a company to be successful over the long term?We know that it requires a great strategy, excellent operations, financial controls, effective marketing, a solid business model, routines for ‘future-proofing’, and so forth. There are many elements that need to interact for company success. So it is natural that when we see a successful company, different people, depending on their disciplinary background, can attribute different elements as the ‘main reason’ why a company is successful. Furthermore, what does ‘business model innovation’ actually mean (cf., Massa & Tucci, 2021)? There have been many different definitions published over the years (see Foss & Saebi, 2017 for a more complete discussion). The lowest bar probably addresses the question: has any one conceptual component or element of a business model (cf., Abdelkafi, Makhotin, & Posselt, 2013; Afuah &","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"209 - 211"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48958589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It contributes to diaspora research by focusing on the context of emerging market host countries and the specific case of Chinese diaspora in Russia. Drawing on the concepts of organizational capabilities and organizational legitimacy, we explain how the Chinese diaspora can be beneficial for the competitiveness of Russian firms, and how Russian firms can uniquely leverage these potential benefits through engagement with individual Chinese diasporans and diaspora institutions. Our article adds to the diaspora literature in several ways. First, unlike the majority of past research, which tends to focus on the benefits for the diaspora's home country, we highlight the potential impact on host country firms, specifically their capabilities and legitimacy at home and abroad. Second, our model can be viewed as a direct response to the many calls in the literature to study the microfoundations of firms’ capabilities. Third, we add to the legitimacy literature by proposing that engagement with a foreign diaspora can help host country firms establish and maintain their legitimacy both at home and on a global scale. Although our framework is informed by the Chinese diaspora in Russia, we discuss its generalizability to other contexts. 摘要 本文探讨了外国侨民对东道国公司的影响。文章通过引入组织能力和组织合法性的概念,解释了在俄华侨如何提高东道国俄罗斯公司的竞争力,以及俄罗斯公司如何通过与华侨个人以及华侨相关机构的紧密互动,对其技术能力、组织能力、全球化能力产生积极影响,以实现潜在收益最大化。本文对侨民及移民研究作出了几点贡献。第一,过去大多数研究强调侨民群体为母国带来的益处,而本文聚焦侨民群体对东道国公司的潜在影响,特别是对这些公司在国内外的能力和合法性方面的影响。第二,本文直接回应了学者们对更多关注公司能力微观基础的呼吁。第三,本文提出与外国侨民的紧密互动可以提高和保持东道国企业在本土和国际市场上的合法性。鉴于本文的理论框架反映的是在俄华侨的特定情境,文章进一步探讨了该框架在其他情境下的普遍性。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":"18 1","pages":"892 - 923"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2021-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48877583","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
