Simply put, in the scale-up phase, managing talent could be the most important activity entrepreneurs pursue. While entrepreneurs cannot eliminate their strategic shortcomings (e.g., prestige, the ability to pay top salaries), they can take advantage of their unique strengths (e.g., a more intimate environment, job flexibility, and greater opportunities for growth, advancement, and leadership) to make themselves more competitive among candidates not necesarily destined for large corporations. In this article, drawing upon the lessons of best practice and theory, we make three recommendations for entrepreneurial hiring managers: (1) treat all prospective employees as transformative organizational members, (2) recognize and embrace the contributions of all, and (3) make new and established employees consistently feel valued. While these lessons allow all managers to display their organizational strengths, they provide the best return on investment for those with the greatest hiring challenges: entrepreneurs.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"67 2","pages":"Pages 183-198"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2023-11-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138527449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many leaders need an understanding of how and why DEI practices may backfire. As such, we provide five evidence-based recommendations to help organizations successfully implement DEI practices while preventing and minimizing backfire.

While Web-based platforms have facilitated the co-creation process by enabling firms to interact with a large number of consumers directly, continuously, and in real-time, this article proposes that the metaverse, which refers to an interconnected network of virtual worlds that can be experienced synchronously by an unlimited number of users, should also be considered as a platform for co-creation. Although many firms are focusing on leveraging the metaverse to increase consumer engagement or enhance retail experiences, this article focuses on its potential to eliminate knowledge and experience boundaries, which has been identified as a limitation of co-creating with consumers. Specifically, the metaverse enables consumers to develop innovative new product ideas by creating immersive environments that blend physical and virtual worlds to provide near-realistic experiences that were once beyond the scope of consumers’ normal experiences. We propose that the metaverse allows firms to incorporate essential elements of co-creation in immersive environments and provide guidelines on how the metaverse can be used effectively by integrating new experiences (extended reality), new motivations (shared experiences), and new partners (Gen Z).","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"20 6","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135370337","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently virtual meetings have become a more prominent feature of employees’ work lives, and scholarly attention to the changing nature of work meeting dynamics has increased in parallel. Not surprisingly, these circumstances have increased the number of meetings individuals participate in each day and the number of mediums through which these meetings occur. In this paper, we introduce the meeting load paradox: increasing the number of meetings employees participate in provides an important avenue for them to contribute more to their organizations while at the same time, consuming more of their personal resources. In this way, an increased meeting load is only effective up to a certain threshold. To demonstrate this empirically, we conducted a field study with 199 full time employees, providing initial evidence of one manifestation of the meeting load paradox—meeting participation, engagement, and creative performance increase as meeting load increases curvilinearly, creating an inverted-U-shaped effect. Furthermore, we find that a virtual medium increases the curvilinear effect while employee conscientiousness flattens the curvilinear effect. We discuss the important implications of these findings and ways employees and managers can navigate the meeting load paradox to ensure they can thrive amid the proliferation of workplace meetings.","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135656144","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This may be inevitable due to the increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity of our modern world. Many organizations routinely use project structures to develop new products, enter new markets, or upgrade IT systems, for example. A project is a set of tasks aimed at achieving a specific outcome, and a project structure is a temporary structure within which the tasks are performed. Projectification is a process of change whereby organizations increasingly adopt a project way of work. Hence, a projectified organization becomes a hybrid of temporary structures managed as projects and permanent structures managed as functions or departments. Projectification has many downsides, some of which stem from increased organizational complexity. Still, projectification fosters innovation and change, making it a necessary feature in many modern organizations. Ideally, projectification should be done gradually, and it requires significant changes throughout the organization. In this article we present seven recommendations for senior managers in projectifying organizations.","PeriodicalId":48347,"journal":{"name":"Business Horizons","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135760850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite advances in profiling white-collar offenders, these profiles have relied heavily on the same thirty-year-old, federal-level database limited to major urban areas, which may obscure changes in the sociodemographics of white-collar offenders. Based on Utah’s more recent White-Collar Crime Registry, this article seeks to better identify the profiles of modern white-collar offenders. Our findings uncovered three distinct types of white-collar criminals: The Tech Scammer, the Ponzi Schemer, and the Insurance Fraudster. Despite the registry’s limitations as a database, we offer recommendations regarding the prevention and detection of such offenders.

On its face, this shift to a trustless web calls into question the traditional conceptions of and requirements for trust. However, in this article, we caution against claims that advocate distrusting Web3 on the basis that, despite how quickly Web3 technology is advancing, the psychological processes through which people perceive and make sense of the social world remain fundamentally unchanged.
