Stoyanova","doi":"10.1017/mor.2022.14","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/mor.2022.14","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACT The changing geopolitical landscapes and increased migration flow across the world call for a fresh perspective on the sociocultural and economic integration of migrants in their new ‘homes’ and ‘communities’. In this qualitative process study, we provide insight into the identity work dynamics that underlie interfirm cooperation in the new business context. We see a sample of Bulgarian migrant entrepreneurs as knowledge boundary spanners who employ identity work tactics for the development of shared norms and values that facilitate knowledge exchange between their home culture and the UK host culture context. This study suggests that knowledge boundary spanning is enabled by a temporal identity work process, characterized by a series of inward and outward identity work tactics. The interplay between inward and outward identity work tactics occurs over phases of identifying identity differences, adopting identity cues, and finally, realizing hybrid identity. This article contributes to the identity work and migrant entrepreneurship literature by exploring the underlying mechanisms for realizing knowledge boundary spanning by migrant entrepreneurs. 摘要 国际地缘政治的持续变化和移民流动的增加要求学者对移民在他们的“新家和社区”进行社会文化和经济的融合提出新的视角。本文通过质性过程研究,对在崭新的商业环境中公司间合作的身份动态提出了新见解。我们发现,比利时在英国的移民创业者,如同知识边界跨越者一样,通过身份工作的策略来建立共享的规范和价值观来增进母文化和当地文化之间的知识交换。这种身份工作有一个时间过程,包含一系列的向内和向外身份的调整。而且这种内外身份调整包括了从对于身份差异的识别,到采纳身份的线索,到最后实现身份的混合。本文揭示了移民创业者实现知识边界跨越的潜在机制,对身份工作和移民创业文献做出了贡献。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46815572","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}

They identified firm characteristics associated with strategic asset-seeking, opportunity-seeking, and market-seeking motives. In this replication study, we examine Ahsan et al.'s (2020) model in the Chinese context. Based on our improved empirical model, our findings reveal some similarities but more importantly some key differences in the antecedents of internationalization motives between Indian and Chinese firms. Drawing on insights from prior studies, we propose that these differences can be attributed to differences in absorptive capacity, international expansion scales and patterns, ownership type, and the home institutional contexts in which Indian and Chinese firms operate. Overall, this replication study demonstrates the importance of contextualizing international business research. 摘要 Ahsan, Sinha, and Srinivasan (2020)研究了印度知识密集型企业基于资源考虑和东道国区位优势的国际化扩张动机。他们识别了与寻求战略资产、寻求机会和寻求市场动机相关的企业特征。我们在中国的情境下重复了Ahsan等(2020)的研究,并在此基础上改进了其实证研究模型。本文揭示了印度企业和中国企业具有相似的国际化动机,但也存在着关键的差异:主要表现在吸收能力、国际化扩张的规模和模式、所有制类型以及印度和中国企业经营所面临的国内制度环境。总的来说,这项重复研究表明了国际商务研究情境化的重要性。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-06-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47352480","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}

Drawing on Ability-Motivation-Opportunity (AMO) theory, this study examines whether employees’ voice behavior (promotive and prohibitive) can be harnessed to improve their creative performance. By exploring the mediating role of psychosocial prosperity and moderating effects of employees’ perception of their influence at work and their feelings of alienation, this study offers a unique model that enhances the literature on voice and creativity. Data collected from 285 Information Technology professionals in India reveals that both forms of voice lead to creative performance, and psychosocial prosperity mediates this positive relationship. This finding offers different insight for scholars as much of the voice literature expects prohibitive voice to yield negative results for the employee because of its associated risks. Also, employees’ perceived influence at work strengthens the positive effect of promotive voice on psychosocial prosperity, while alienation weakens the relationship between psychosocial prosperity and creativity performance. The study concludes by discussing the implications, limitations, and directions for future researchers. 摘要 组织依赖其员工的创造力来取得竞争优势。基于能力-动机-机会理论,本研究调查了鼓励员工建言行为是否可以促进其创造力。本文特别探索了心理社会繁荣的中介角色和员工对其在工作中影响力的认知和被排斥感觉的调节作用。作者搜集在印度工作的285名IT职业工作者的数据,发现促进性建言和抑制性建言均能提高员工的创造力,而且使心理社会繁荣中介了建言和创造力之间的关系。这些结果与以往发现抑制性建言对员工的负面效果不同,显示了正面效果。此外,员工感知到的自己对工作的影响力增进了其促进性建言对于心理社会繁荣的感知,而被排斥感弱化了员工心理社会繁荣感与创造力之间的关系。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48219785","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}

Primary data was collected from the largest software outsourcing cluster in Vietnam in 2018, which provides a sample size of 42 firms. The findings imply that multiple configurations of different channels of LKS in conjunction with absorptive capacity can lead to service innovation. This study makes three important contributions. First, it contributes to the debate over the critical role of LKS and absorptive capacity in innovation by offering a more holistic, yet nuanced understanding of the causal mechanisms underlying service innovation. Second, this study sheds light on viable and equifinal pathways for enhancing innovation capabilities, therefore contributing to the literature on cluster upgrading and global service sourcing. Third, it provides some managerial implications for indigenous spinoff firms in developing countries seeking to innovate through the strategic use of LKS. 摘要 本文基于配置理论使用了量化比较分析的方法来区分两种本地只是溢出渠道的配置方法—可供替代的和充足的配置,也即非正式交往和衍生品,应如何与组织吸收能力相结合来促进服务创新。作者于2018年在越南最大的软件外包集群搜集了42家公司的数据。分析表明存在本地知识溢出不同渠道的多种配置方式,都可以与公司的吸收能力加以组合来达到服务创新的目的。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47150326","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}

In this article, we expand on prior work on moqi and conceptualize moqi as a dyadic level construct that describes a situated state of shared contextualized understanding without saying a word between two counterparties. We further articulate a broader view of moqi as a dyadic communication construct that is both target-specific and situation-specific. We propose a nomological network of moqi that shows how shared contextualized understandings between counterparties are informed by several different layers, including ‘capability’ (a) a generalized proclivity to be able to form such understandings with others, and ‘contributing factors’, (b) how those understandings are formed either (i) through interactions or (ii) without them through overlaps in background characteristics or experiences, and (c) how other factors accentuate the capability and inclination to ultimately achieve moqi. We then discuss several potential consequences of moqi in organizational settings. Finally, we discuss why moqi is a powerful form of effective communication that is meaningful beyond the Chinese cultural context. 摘要 虽然默契这个词在中国广为人知,但是对于默契的理论构建却极为罕见。本文将默契定义为在特定情景中两个人无需语言就彼此理解的状态。默契是一个二人层面、而不是个体层面的概念,它具有情景特定性和目标特定性。本文认为,有几个个体因素能够帮助两个人达成默契:(1)个体具有与他人形成共享理解的倾向和能力,(2)二人之间交往的深度,(3)二人在各种背景特征和人生经历上的重合程度。与此同时,也有其他的环境因素会通过影响上述个体因素而最终对默契的达成造成影响。本文接着讨论了默契在组织情境中可能产生的几个后果,并强调默契是一种非常有效的沟通方式,应该在中国文化之外也有重要意义。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42098500","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}

In this article, we analyze the evolution of IPR legislation and enforcement in China. To this end, we illustrate the evolutionary changes of the Chinese IPR system and analyze the changes introduced in four revisions (1992–1993, 2000–2001, 2008–2013, and 2019–2020). Our analysis shows that Patent Law, Trademark Law, and Copyright Law have been substantially enhanced, especially since 2000, when China improved its IPR system to comply with the TRIPS Agreement and join the WTO, and especially the most recent amendments of these three IP Laws. We discuss the number of IPR infringement cases handled by both relevant administrative authorities and courts to analyze IPR enforcement in China. Results indicate that the development of IPR protection enforcement followed the improvement of relevant IPR laws. The two revisions introduced after 2008, changes in the Chinese IPR system, and an increasing number of IPR infringement cases handled by relevant authorities also suggest the willingness of the Chinese government to further enhance its IPR protection. 摘要 自 1982 年中国颁布第一部商标法以来,中国的知识产权体系在立法和执法方面都发生了重大变化。在本文中,我们分析了中国知识产权立法和执法的演变。为此,我们介绍了中国知识产权体系的演进变化,并分析了四个修订版(1992-1993、2000-2001、2008-2013和2019-2020)中引入的变化。我们的分析表明,特别是自 2000 年中国完善知识产权体系以遵守 TRIPS 协议并加入 WTO 以来,专利法、商标法和著作权法对于知识产权的保护力度均得到了实质性增强,尤其是最近对这三部知识产权法的修订。我们讨论了相关行政部门和法院处理的知识产权侵权案件数量,以分析中国的知识产权执法情况。结果表明,知识产权保护执法的发展伴随着相关知识产权法律的完善。 2008年之后的两次修订、中国知识产权体系的变化以及有关部门处理的知识产权侵权案件数量的增加,也表明了中国政府进一步加强知识产权保护的意愿。","PeriodicalId":47798,"journal":{"name":"Management and Organization Review","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2022-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47455089","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}
