While research utilizing attribution theory has found that firms tend to attribute negative outcomes to external factors and positive outcomes to internal ones, this behaviour can have both positive and negative consequences. Addressing these contrasting results, our paper adopts a multidimensional framework of attribution to study how firms offer explanations for their actions. Leveraging insights from attribution theory and expectancy violation theory, we investigate whether investors respond diversely to firms' heterogeneous attributions for terminating acquisitions. Our findings indicate that an initial positive market reaction to an acquisition announcement is negatively correlated with the market reaction to the acquisition's termination. This negative relationship diminishes when the acquirer attributes the termination to external, uncontrollable and unstable factors. This paper contributes to the acquisition literature by highlighting multiple categories of attributions for firms to strategically manage market reactions.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"961-997"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13163","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708316","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While the importance of human competence and motivation to work performance has been established, less well understood is how ‘things’ – such as algorithms, tools, instruments, and raw materials – contribute to work performance. As ‘intelligent’ and ‘agentic’ technologies become further involved in work, it is increasingly important to understand the impact of things upon work performance. Although research adopting an entanglement perspective (e.g., practice theory, sociomateriality, affordances, science and technology studies) has convincingly demonstrated things are integral to work performance, there is a need for heightened clarity on how things contribute to performing work. Informed by an ontology of things and drawing on an ethnographic study in the biotechnology industry, we propose things are constitutive of work performance in three interrelated ways: (1) by belonging to a nexus of useful things, (2) through performing interlinked roles, and (3) while co-constituting work performance in concert with practitioners. Our theoretical and empirical account offers a more integrative and comprehensive understanding of how things are constitutive of work performance compared to the existing entanglement literature. This opens several new possibilities for enhancing work performance in organizations, which we outline in the paper.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1155-1191"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13182","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on the officials' incentives and introduce the concept of stigma anxiety, which refers to officials' concerns about being associated with reputationally damaged firms. Analysing 3531 Chinese firms from 2012 to 2020 in the context of China's anticorruption campaigns, we find that officials are less likely to grant political access to firms with damaged political reputations. However, CSR activities may mitigate these adverse effects. The effectiveness of CSR activities in regaining political access is further influenced by officials' stigma anxiety, shaped by three factors: controllability (the extent to which a stigmatized actor is perceived as responsible for the stigma), disruptiveness (the degree to which stigma is perceived as a threat to others), and visibility (the extent to which a stigma event stands out and attracts sustained attention). Our findings contribute to research on CPA, stigma, and CSR.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1341-1373"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708256","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We shed further light on this phenomenon by exploring the role of foreign locations' cultural tightness, which refers to the prevalence of social norms in a location and the tolerance for deviance from them. Combining institutional theory with insights from research on cultural tightness, we hypothesize that firms are more strongly inclined to imitate peers' choice for a subnational foreign investment location when the location is culturally tighter. Our hypothesis receives consistent support in conditional logit analyses based on 2900 foreign investments in new manufacturing plants in US metropolitan areas over the period 2008–2019. Furthermore, the amplifying effect of a subnational location's cultural tightness on firms' propensity to imitate their peers' choice for the location seems to depend on firms' experience with cultural tightness and their home country's cultural distance from the USA. Our findings enrich international management research on location choice imitation, legitimacy risks, and cultural tightness.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"998-1031"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13170","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Integrating the social embeddedness perspective with research on crisis management, we theorize that an SME's financial health gets progressively worse before it stabilizes and recovers, reflecting an inverse U-shaped relationship between time since the CEO-owner's sudden death and an SME's financial distress. We then explore how successors' family and firm embeddedness moderate this relationship. Using a longitudinal sample of Swedish SMEs, we find general support for our theorizing. While nonfamily successors lead to less financial distress than family successors immediately following a CEO-owner's sudden death, the opposite occurs in the long term. Further, successors with high firm embeddedness are associated with less financial distress than those with low firm embeddedness in both the short- and long-term. Additionally, our post-hoc analyses reveal that successors with high firm embeddedness, independent of their family embeddedness, outperform those low in firm embeddedness. Family successors lacking firm embeddedness report the highest financial distress, whereas family successors with high firm embeddedness experience the lowest. Our social embeddedness perspective on succession after the CEO-owner's sudden death therefore contends that successor embeddedness explains differences in an SME's financial health, with the importance of successor firm tenure overshadowing the effect of family status.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1192-1228"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13183","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We focus on this black box of how status transfers, or more plainly, how high network status in one market leads to high network status in another market. We posit that an important underlying mechanism is the mediating role of the status of common partners in partner selection. Firms with high home-country status are more likely to have high-status common partners facilitating tie formation with prospective high-status local partners in the new market. We argue that through this mechanism, foreign firms with a higher status in their home country are more likely to partner with firms of higher local status in the entered market, thereby transferring their status to the new market. The hypotheses receive support from mediation effect analyses of global venture capital (VC) investments, contributing to an improved understanding of the stratus transfer mechanisms in international settings.","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"63 3","pages":"1059-1093"},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13176","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147708365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
