Through an event study methodology based on 1,775 firms listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, we analyze shareholder reaction to CPDR announcements after the 2016 Kumamoto earthquakes in Japan. Controlling for the possibility that the most common explanations (buying goodwill and corporate governance) are at play, our results provide an empirical test of a little-explored explanation for the positive shareholder reaction to CPDR: namely, that corporate philanthropy is a market signal to outside investors of the firm’s future financial prospects. We find this explanation to be significant. Of note are also the facts that shareholder reaction is only significantly positive in the case of cash donation (as opposed to in-kind), and is more positive when announced early. Overall, our results align with the “strategic philanthropy” view grounded in resource-dependence theory. But instead of the typical focus on non-financial stakeholders, we argue that philanthropic donations can be used to directly influence investors.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 3","pages":"1421 - 1449"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-04-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44610021","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}

Extant research has adopted an intergenerational perspective, emphasizing that entrepreneurial capital can be transferred from parents and grandparents to offspring. We advance this literature by introducing an intragenerational perspective and arguing that siblings affect one’s development and acquisition of entrepreneurial capital. Siblings enhance social capital development through mutual learning, hinder human capital development because parental resource dilution harms cognitive advancement, and facilitate financial capital acquisition via lending and co-funding. In combination, these effects result in an inverted U-shaped relationship between sibship size and entrepreneurial intention and a positive and concave relationship between sibship size and entrepreneurial action. We also argue that men obtain more combined entrepreneurial capital from siblings than do women due to their parents’ son preference, shifting the inflection points of these curved relationships to the right for men. We analyze data on 6,048 individuals (16–60 years old) and find general evidence for these notions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 3","pages":"1373 - 1394"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46169031","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 into why IJVs underperform centres on differences between partners’ equity, resources, technical knowledge and cultural values, but seldom internal sensemaking conflicts. We address this research gap: specifically, the sense managers make of their own and their partner managers’ perceived performance in relation to strategy practices, and the effects of sensemaking upon collaboration. Some IJV studies examine outright organizational failure, but we focus on a common situation where partner firms’ expectations about each other’s performance are not met. Our case is a major Sino-New Zealand dairy IJV in a Limbo-like state of severe sensemaking discrepancy. Here, managers struggled to perform strategy effectively in a context of mutual misunderstanding and profound miscommunication, rooted in sensemaking differences. Using a strategy practice lens, we explore how this sensemaking discrepancy arose over organizational identity, learning and experience, strategizing, communication and trust. This eroded meaningful cooperation over strategy, leading to <i>disjointed collaboration</i>: a new concept capturing a state of compromised engagement, where the IJV continued operationally, but collaboration became increasingly difficult. We provide a theoretical framework to help understand sensemaking discrepancy in IJVs, based on a reconceptualization of sensemaking discrepancy in terms of <i>own and others’ expected and perceived performance</i>. We also offer essential practice-based insights into cognitive barriers to strategy collaboration.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 2","pages":"903 - 945"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10490-023-09877-6.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49190797","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}

Extant research has highlighted the determinants of ego-network stability; nevertheless, it is still unclear how behavioral factors affect a firm’s ego-network stability in a collaboration network as a consequence of a decision-maker’s bounded rationality. Drawing from the behavioral theory of the firm and attention-based view, this paper explores how ego-network stability is affected by performance feedback and investigates the influence of CEOs’ information advantage and power on firms’ responses to performance feedback. Using longitudinal data on Chinese publicly listed firms in the pharmaceutical industry from 2007 to 2020, we find that the magnitude of a firm’s outperformance relative to its aspirations harms its ego-network stability. The magnitude of a firm’s underperformance relative to its aspirations has a U-shaped relationship with its ego-network stability. Moreover, CEOs’ social capital and power strengthen the negative relationship between the magnitude of a firm’s outperformance relative to its aspirations and its ego-network stability, and CEOs’ social capital flattens the U-shaped effect of the magnitude of a firm’s underperformance relative to its aspirations on its ego-network stability.</p>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 2","pages":"789 - 821"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"52060278","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}

Typically, empirical studies measure such constructs using established scales with multiple indicators. When the scales are used in a different population, the items are translated into other languages or revised to adapt to other populations, it is essential for researchers to report the quality of measurement scales before using them to test hypotheses. Researchers commonly report the quality of these measurement scales based on Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis results. However, these results are usually inadequate and sometimes inappropriate. Moreover, researchers rarely consider sampling errors for these psychometric quality measures. In this best practice paper, we first critically review the most frequently-used approaches in empirical studies to evaluate the quality of measurement scales when using structural equation modeling. Next, we recommend best practices in assessing reliability, convergent and discriminant validity based on multiple criteria and taking sampling errors into consideration. Then, we illustrate with numerical examples the application of a specifically-developed R package, measureQ, that provides a one-stop solution for implementing the recommended best practices and a template for reporting the results. measureQ is easy to implement, even for those new to R. Our overall aim is to provide a best-practice reference for future authors, reviewers, and editors in reporting and reviewing the quality of measurement scales in empirical management studies.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 2","pages":"745 - 783"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s10490-023-09871-y.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45960472","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}
