We contend that a specific cross-subsidizing pricing strategy – where the amount of subsidy to complementors is explicitly linked to the overall revenue they generate on the other side of the platform – may mitigate this trade-off. Using data from the airport industry, we demonstrate that following a reduction of airlines’ entry barriers, airports that subsidize airlines, based on the aforementioned scheme, can boost their financial performance and maintain traffic composition in favour of legacy airlines, which bring passengers who spend more in airport shops. Our findings shed light on how cross-subsidization may balance the variety and quality of complementors and their offerings on multisided platforms.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 4","pages":"1717-1746"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13120","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896809","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}

The more strongly imprinted corporate leaders would then be more alert to and respond faster to the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020, a new but similar infectious disease. We study this connection by examining a sample of Chinese publicly traded firms’ initiation of personal protective equipment (PPE) production. We further argue that past informational factors, such as media sentiment regarding the SARS outbreak in 2003, and more recent contemporary informational factors, such as media sentiment about COVID-19 and online-reported population mobility from Wuhan, China, where the COVID-19 outbreak started, influenced the strength of the imprinting effects.

This paper uses an embodiment perspective to examine a routine recreation process in a fine-dining zero-waste restaurant whose routines were completely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Zooming in on the role of the lived body, our study reveals the importance of ‘embodied connection work’ for the recreation of a new set of routines. We show how this active process of making connections between actors and actions consists of ‘embodied imagining’ and ‘embodied protecting’. Together, these interrelated practices enable the reintegration of stakeholders and the reassembling of what matters to the restaurant owners. Our study contributes to research at the intersection of routines and extreme contexts in three ways: (1) we move away from considering the body as a trained object and focus instead on the lived body and its role in performing and patterning and, hence, in recreating routines; (2) we unpack how novel roles emerge through embodied connection work as new and existing connections are forged; and (3) we conceptualize the relationship between routines and context as mutually constitutive suggesting that actions are situated through the lived body.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 3","pages":"1300-1329"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13113","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141352988","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}

My experience as a gay man, who is often presumed to be straight, has shown me that people can experience unrecognized vulnerability when their differences or difficulties are not obvious to others. To respond to the issue of hidden vulnerability, I advocate (i) encouraging vulnerable people to craft spaces for visibility, (ii) encouraging others to form a community of care that disrupts the silences that otherwise leave hidden vulnerabilities unresolved, and (iii) mobilizing university leadership teams to transform institutional policies. In making this call, I distinguish <i>hidden</i> vulnerability, and the particular problems that it brings, from <i>deliberate</i> vulnerability to support personal growth. Deciding to be more open to others in the context of our work, even though that can leave us feeling exposed, can lead to important opportunities for learning and self-development. But choosing to accept vulnerability with the intention of learning is radically different to feeling vulnerable without any choice or hope of benefit (Brown, <span>2022</span>).</p><p>You cannot necessarily see the unchosen vulnerabilities that people experience, and some people encounter vulnerability in ways that are invisible to others with different back-stories from theirs. As a gay man from an economically and socially deprived background, seeking to navigate elite academic circles where most faculty members’ stories have more nourishing roots than mine, hidden vulnerability has had a personal impact on me. Realizing the ways that I have experienced and responded to hidden vulnerability moves me to consider others who have experienced it in different ways. For example, neurodiversity, mental health concerns, precarity, dyslexia, menopause and many other personal situations can all be a source of hidden vulnerability. We need to develop better awareness and support for the vulnerabilities that others may be carrying silently, while we are oblivious to their struggles, and a climate of openness in which we feel more secure in sharing aspects of ourselves that would otherwise go unrecognized.</p><p>Through individual contributions to a climate of mutual support, community building and institutional policy developments, we can support processes that manifest and mitigate the kinds of vulnerability that are likely to be present in every context of interaction, including those that would otherwise be hidden. By doing so we will alleviate a form of everyday suffering through personal, community and above all institutional changes. Overall, these actions can create a climate of openness in which those of us who are vulnerable get to be present as our full and integrated selves for more of the time, rather than leaving some parts of ourselves in the closet, reserved for occasional events. I am determined to do this myself, so here I am: coming out again.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 5","pages":"2135-2142"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13117","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141363234","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}

In this introduction to the <i>Point-Counterpoint</i> debate on strategic management and climate change, we argue that this contestation is largely due to what we call three <i>epistemic fault lines</i> that cut through how strategy scholars understand climate change, devise possible solutions, and assume the relationship between theories and reality.

However, inconsistent findings exist. Whereas the predominant view in the bricolage literature suggests that resource-constrained or threatening environments motivate new ventures to bricolage to survive and thrive, some empirical evidence shows that some firms choose not to bricolage in such environments. This paper addresses the inconsistent findings by integrating regulatory fit theory with the bricolage literature, arguing that the effect of environmental threat on bricolage depends on entrepreneurs' dispositional regulatory focus. Data from a time-lagged survey of 396 Taiwanese entrepreneurs support our hypotheses. Our findings suggest that promotion (prevention) focus disposition is positively (negatively) related to bricolage. More importantly, both promotion and prevention foci weaken the effect of environmental threat on bricolage, serving as boundary conditions for this relationship. Finally, our additional analysis reveals gender differences in bricolage and the contingent effect of promotion focus disposition, enabling us to contribute to regulatory fit theory.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 4","pages":"1524-1568"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13115","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141388124","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 review two contrasting perspectives: agency theory – which assumes that humans are self-interested rational beings whose actions should be constrained to achieve organizational goals (which are opposing) – and self-determination theory – which assumes that individuals will thrive when they have autonomy to pursue activities and can internalize external goals when their needs are satisfied. We highlight how the assumptions of agency theory continue to dominate the design and implementation of management practices and management education, despite decades of evidence that individuals are not solely driven by economic rationality. We suggest that attempts to refine these assumptions have so far fallen short of adequately representing human motivation and highlight an important aspect of self-determination theory which is often neglected from these debates: how people come to internalize goals. Placing motivation internalization as more central to management thinking yields practices that more effectively align the interests of employees and organizations.</p>","PeriodicalId":48445,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Management Studies","volume":"62 5","pages":"2098-2124"},"PeriodicalIF":7.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joms.13092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141268615","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}

Further, in a decision experiment, we study alliance managers’ heuristics applied to the decision of whether to pursue an outside partnering opportunity during the course of an alliance re-evaluation. Our results show that in their decision heuristics alliance managers rate value creation-related partner characteristics more highly than commitment-related partner characteristics. However, the importance of commitment-related characteristics is contingent on the level and dimension of uncertainty present in the managers’ environment.

However, these distinct types of referents from different sources are conceptually unique and operate differently, which could give rise to dissimilar behaviours. Because corporate performance information can emanate internally from agency-driven firms and externally from financial analysts, we examine both in a unified framework. To facilitate a deeper understanding of these relationships, we investigate how alternate income streams from business unit (BU) performance at a lower level in the organizational structure moderate the way corporate managers remedy corporate performance shortfalls at a higher level. Our study contributes to the behavioural theory by examining distinct influences of corporate performance goals derived from internally- versus externally imposed referents and their interactions with BU performance on new market entry activities.
