Building on the mediation metaphor, we explore both acquired and acquiring middle managers throughout the acquisition process. Based on 52 semi-structured interviews, we advance our knowledge of the dynamics of the mediation roles of acquired and acquiring middle managers in the unfolding stages of the acquisition process. Notably, middle managers engage in mediation at three levels—self-mediation, interfirm mediation and stakeholder mediation—which, when combined, create specific mediation dynamics during each acquisition stage. Consequently, the pre-acquisition stage is characterised by cold mediation, the approval stage by informal mediation, the first post-acquisition phase by disrupted mediation and a potential second post-acquisition phase by joint mediation. The main contribution of the paper is in conceptualising middle managers’ mediation roles and the resulting mediation dynamics throughout the acquisition process. Essentially, middle managers are not only intermediaries transferring meanings across organisations but also mediators transforming and adapting the meanings that flow between both organisations, thereby shaping the course of the acquisition process. The paper thus sheds light on the important role of middle managers in facilitating the acquisition process.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"42 5","pages":"Pages 800-812"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49019529","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}

Research on entrepreneurial teams tends to aggregate individuals to the team level, which helps distill the effects of complementarities among social categories of team members. Specifically, we examine how scientists and managers apply their unique profiles (i.e., accumulated skills and expertise) to execute their respective roles within entrepreneurial teams engaged in commercial scientific discovery. In line with the entrepreneurial team literature, we distinguish between “focused” and “diversified” social categorizations of principal scientists and managers. As such, we differentiate between individuals’ deep knowledge of a discipline and a background in two professional areas with relative expertise in each, likened to the “jack-of-all-trades”. We analyze how team profile-to-role configurations might result in different new venture outcomes being R&D performance and commercial performance. To examine our models, we use multi-source, longitudinal, secondary data drawn from 153 government-funded research-intensive ventures associated with the National Cancer Institute in the United States (U.S.). Our results reveal differential effects for R&D performance and commercial performance. We find that teams aiming to enhance their R&D performance should seek diversified principal scientists, whereas teams seeking commercial gains should appoint diversified managers. By the same token, diversified team members may bypass their own shortcomings and complement their strengths by attracting team members with focused social categorizations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"42 5","pages":"Pages 813-823"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41547371","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}

In this study, we view firm governance from a multiteam systems perspective and consider the TMT and board as the strategic leadership system (SLS). Our main goal is to examine whether a higher level of behavioral integration (i.e., interdependence) within the strategic leadership system (SLS BI) leads to higher levels of strategic decision-making quality. Simultaneously, we consider the moderating role of the firm's industry competitiveness (i.e., environmental complexity) as a factor that may increase the cruciality of board-TMT interdependence to reach high quality strategic decisions. Based on a unique multiple respondent sample of 375 SLS members from 47 Belgian private family firms, we find that SLS BI positively affects strategic decision-making quality. Additionally, results indicate that higher environmental complexity strengthens the positive effect of SLS BI on strategic decision-making quality.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48290,"journal":{"name":"European Management Journal","volume":"42 5","pages":"Pages 721-734"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48212705","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}

Our research highlights a significantly positive relationship between CSR and AC, KE, and BP. This result suggests that the better CSR is implemented, the higher the AC, the stronger the KE, and, finally, the better the BP. Additionally, the results confirm that RS moderates the influence of CSR on KE. This finding implies that the impact of CSR on KE varies depending on the extent of RS.
