Using fraud triangle theory and trust triangle theory, we hypothesize four transmitting channels of how fraud commission and detection are affected by peers’ fraud and punishment. Based on Chinese listed corporations from 2008 to 2018, we first construct and detect interlocked social network communities with a community-detecting algorithm, and then examine hypotheses using a bivariate probit model with partial observability. Our findings indicate that peer-concealing and -hinting effects exist within social network communities. The peer-concealing effect decreases the likelihood of being detected when committing fraud, for those with more and closer fraudulent peers. The peer-hinting effect increases the likelihood of being detected when committing fraud, for those with more and closer punished peers. There is no evidence to support peer-contagion and vicarious-punishment effects. Thus, an improved understanding of the transmission mechanism of corporate fraud commission and detection within communities is provided to prevent and detect corporate fraud. In addition, stakeholders and regulators should be aware of the deviant subculture and social distancing in social network communities.","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42425155","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}

However, this may no longer be the case given the dynamic and complex situations faced by employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. On the basis of event system theory and the work design literature, we argue that the onset of COVID-19 created an immediate decrease in job knowledge characteristics, which gradually increased over time in the post-onset period because of employees’ coping with the pandemic. The rate of increase in job knowledge characteristics is higher for those with higher individual task adaptivity than for others. We further argue that changes in job knowledge characteristics produced changes in job stress, and that this effect is weakened by job security. We conducted a 6-month, 6-wave longitudinal survey to gather data from 235 employees in Macau, China covering the pre-onset, onset, and post-onset periods of the COVID-19 outbreak. The results, based on discontinuous growth modeling and latent change score modeling, support our arguments. Our study advances the dynamic view of work design by identifying how a macro event may shape job knowledge characteristics and the implications of a time-to-time change in job knowledge characteristics. Overall, we suggest that there are psychological costs when employees cope at work with the business interruptions caused by COVID-19.","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-08-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43376976","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}

We can take a glean of them in the six papers included in this volume. Focusing on the types of knowledge flow from incumbents to new firms during the foundation of startups, the first paper (Jiang & Murmann, 2023) conducted a detailed qualitative analysis of six private startups in the Chinese synthetic dye industry. The authors discovered eight types of knowledge that can be further categorized into either functional or strategic knowledge and found different functions for each, i.e., strategic knowledge shapes the long-term competitiveness of surviving startups, whereas functional/technical knowledge is necessary for short-term survival but insufficient for long-term success. Using the short-term, one-year after IPO performance of startup as an outcome variable, Kirschbaum et al. (2023) explored how private equity, board centrality and experience independently or jointly influence it. Based on Brazilian IPOs issued between 2004 and 2013, they found that private equity sponsorship is the most effective predictor; but for non-private equity backed IPOs, board centrality and experience significantly affected their performance. Although it is unclear how these findings would apply to shortor long-term IPO performance of startups in the China context, the findings from Li et al. (2023) may shed some light. In this paper, the authors used a sample of 508 Chinese firms to study how the exploration and exploitation strategy influence firm radical or incremental innovation, an important drive for firm success. By reframing exploitation and exploration as a duality of learning, rather than either positive or negative interaction, they identified a novel pattern of inverted U-shaped interaction between exploration and exploitation for both radical and incremental innovations. Connecting to firm innovation, the next paper (Madrid-Guijarro & GarcesTorres, 2023) examined open innovation in 543 small and medium firms in Ecuador. Taking a strategic view, the authors found that firms’ formalization of an innovation strategy promotes both inbound and outbound open innovation activities, which facilitate firm innovative performance; but the positive effect of outbound activities only exists for inbound activities when there is firm control.

However, such faultlines and language-based groups can disintegrate into smaller, regional dialect-based subgroups due to the emergence of dialect faultlines. Furthermore, evidence suggests that multilingual managers are more effective as boundary spanners in bridging the faultlines in multinational teams; at the same time, they need to be aware of the distinction between language differences and faultlines. This study provides the required distinction between language diversity and the role of multilingual managers in national and multinational teams in an understudied context, thereby contributing to the literature on language diversity.","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135642894","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}

This topic has attracted wide attention in the strategy field. Accordingly, our study replicates a highly influential study, ‘Managerial ties and firm performance in a transition economy: The nature of a micro-macro link’ (Peng & Luo, 2000). The original study found that managerial political ties greatly improve organizational performance, and that this ‘micro-macro’ link varies across ownership types, business sectors, firm sizes, and industry growth rates. This replication study offers a hierarchical view of political ties by extending it from the individual to the organizational level and explores the complex link between the two levels of corporate political ties and firm performance. The results of a staged quasi-replication exercise show some similarities with the original study in the mechanism of corporate political ties on firm performance but, more importantly, reveal some key differences in the effect size and contingent effects. Furthermore, an extended test shows that corporate political ties are multilevel, and different levels of political ties vary in their mechanisms and effects on firm performance. The findings reveal temporal and contextual sensitivities of political ties studies in transition economies. 摘要: 在转型经济体中,政治关联如何影响企业绩效?这一话题在战略管理领域引起了广泛关注。我们在本文中试图复制一项极具影响力的研究,即“转型经济中的管理层关系与企业绩效:一个‘微观——宏观’关系的本质”(Peng & Luo, 2000)。原研究发现,高管政治关联显著提高了组织绩效,而且这一“微观——宏观”关系因企业所有权性质、所属产业部门、企业规模及所处行业增长率不同而变化。本复制研究通过将政治关联从微观个体层面扩展到组织层面,引入政治关联的多层性观点,并全面检验两个层面的政治关联与企业绩效之间的关系。分阶段的准复制实证结果显示,虽然政治关联对企业绩效的影响机制与原始研究类似,但是这两项研究在关于政治关联效应大小和权变效应上存在关键差异。此外,进一步的拓展研究表明,企业政治关联是多层次的,不同层次的政治关联对企业绩效的作用机制和效应大小也存在显著差异。研究结果揭示了转型经济体中企业政治关联研究的时间和情境敏感性。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47072916","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}

However, the participation of such PE funds comes at a cost for newcomer firms, as they may lose both autonomy and future post-IPO earnings. If they do not choose to signal quality through PE funds, the IPO literature points to the validity of other mechanisms, such as the experience and centrality of the board of directors. We theorize and test the effect of the tradeoff between private equity sponsorship and board centrality and experience on IPO performance. We analyzed the effects of signaling on long-term performance through the one-year cumulative abnormal return in Brazilian IPOs issued between 2004 and 2013. Our results indicate that private equity sponsorship is the most effective signal, completely overtaking the relevance of board centrality and experience to explain IPO performance. However, these latter board characteristics significantly affected the performance of non-private equity-backed IPOs. Between PE-backed companies, there is a reverse effect of the board centrality on the IPO's performance and a substitution effect of the board's previous experience with IPO processes. 摘要: 私募基金通常对其投资的公司采用各种管理和治理措施,来表现这些公司上市时的高质量。但是,私募基金的参与同样会对这些公司造成损失,一是自主权的丧失,二是上市之后的盈利的分配比。假如不选择通过私募基金来给出高质量的信号,IPO文献指出可以用其他机制来达到同样的目的:即董事会成员的经验和在业界的中心化程度。本文意在探索在预测IPO绩效时这三者之间的得失。我们对2004-2013年巴西所有的IPO进行了分析,通过其一年的累计异常回报来检验信号效应对公司长远绩效的影响。结果表明,私募基金赞助的信号是最有效的,完全取代了董事会经验和中心化程度的影响。但是,后两个因素显著影响了非盈利私募基金投资的IPO公司。此外,在私募基金投资的公司中,董事会的中心化程度对IPO业绩起了相反的作用,董事会成员以往在IPO过程中的经验对IPO业绩起到了替补的作用。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42151378","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}
