Friends or Strangers? Firm-Specific Uncertainty, Market Uncertainty, and Network Partner Selection In this study, we address the topic of interorganizational network change by exploring factors that affect the choice of alliance and interlock partners. While many studies have been devoted to investigating various factors driving network partner choice, there is also an interesting and unexplored tension in this body of work. On the one hand, much work emphasizes change in social struct... ...

Ambidexterity in Technology Sourcing: The Moderating Role of Absorptive Capacity A firm's organizational and technological boundaries are two important demarcation lines when sourcing for technology. Based on this theoretical lens, four possible combinations of exploration and exploitation emerge. Applying an ambidexterity perspective to a firm's technology sourcing strategy, we hypothesize that a curvilinear relationship exists between a firm's technology sourcing mi... ...

Corporate Championing and Antagonism as Forms of Political Behavior: An R&D Perspective Individuals in general management, marketing, production, and customer service undertake corporate political roles of championing and antagonism in support of or opposition to research and development (R&D) projects. R&D personnel see these champions acting politically because they favor projects that align more closely with the firm's business interests than with its specific tec... ...

The Kindness of Strangers: The Usefulness of Electronic Weak Ties for Technical Advice People use weak ties—relationships with acquaintances or strangers—to seek help unavailable from friends or colleagues. Yet in the absence of personal relationships or the expectation of direct reciprocity, help from weak ties might not be forthcoming or could be of low quality. We examined the practice of distant employees (strangers) exchanging technical advice through a large organizat... ...

Framing Contests: Strategy Making Under Uncertainty I develop a model of framing contests to elucidate how cognitive frames influence organizational strategy making. By using ethnographic techniques to study the day-to-day practices of strategy making in one firm, I examine the ways actors attempted to transform their own cognitive frames of a situation into predominant frames through a series of interactions. Frames are the means by which... ...

Strategy Making Under Causal Ambiguity: Conceptual Issues and Empirical Evidence This paper examines how a decision maker's inability to discern the causal structure that leads to his firm's success or failure (i.e., causal ambiguity) shifts attention away from making the so-called “right” decision toward managing the strategy-making process. For this process, I advocate a calculative experimentation approach that lies somewhere between truly random trial-and-error be... ...

The Inherent Limits of Organizational Structure and the Unfulfilled Role of Hierarchy: Lessons from a Near-War This paper examines how Greece nearly went to war with Turkey in 1996 over the uninhabited islets of Imia, to the detriment of the Greek decision makers involved. This escalation was driven by fragmented, piecemeal reactions resulting from the organizational structure of the Greek administration, which shaped identities, defined repertoires of action, sustained routines, and filtered and ... ...

Perspective—Neo-Carnegie: The Carnegie School’s Past, Present, and Reconstructing for the Future Cyert and March’s (1963) A Behavioral Theory of the Firm and the broader Carnegie School form critical theoretical underpinnings for modern organization studies. Despite its impact, however, we suggest that researchers who rely on the Carnegie School have progressively lost touch with its defining commitment to a decision-centered view of organizations. Decision making has given way to le... ...

When Truces Collapse: A Longitudinal Study of Price-Adjustment Routines We analyze the microfoundations of the routine in a study of price-adjustment processes at a manufacturing firm. Existing theory says that truces balance cognitive and motivational differences across functions, but there is scant evidence on how truces work. We show both stability and change in routines. For minor price adjustments, routines incorporate truces in stable but separate marke... ...

Computational Modeling for What-Is, What-Might-Be, and What-Should-Be Studies—And TriangulationIn this essay, we examine what-is, what-might-be, and what-should-be computational models where the purpose is to explore new concepts, ideas, boundaries, and limitations going beyond what we know at the moment. Computational models complement well with other approaches: ethnographies, field studies, human subject lab studies, and surveys in novel triangulations. Triangulation of two or mo... ...
