吸收能力和网络惯例形成演化视角下的突破性产品创新研究

基于组织间学习过程的演化情境,从吸收能力和网络惯例在组织间的形成过程视角,研究吸收能力、网络惯例与突破性产品创新的关系.通过分析珠三角地区的161家科技型中小企业的样本数据,研究发现:吸收能力和网络惯例对突破性产品创新均有显著正向影响,而网络关系稳定度正向调节吸收能力与突破性产品创新的关系.此外,网络惯例的两个子维度对突破性产品创新的影响存在差异,即行业默契对突破性产品创新有显著的正向影响,而规范接受对突破性产品创新的负向影响不显著.     

Computing nonparametric functional estimates in semiparametric problems

The purpose of this note is to provide a brief account of available FORTRAN Routines for computing nonparametric functional estimates, Frequently used in semiparametric problems, evaluated at each data point. Then semiparametric estimates can be computed employing the use-favored economic software.

Advancing post-merger integration studies: A study of a persistent organizational routine and embeddedness in broader societal context

Studies analyzing organizational routines in post-merger integration (PMI) studies at the micro level are almost nonexistent. To fill this research gap, the author performs a longitudinal exploratory case study of an admissions routine of an art college undergoing a merger with a larger university, drawing on advances in routine dynamics literature. The study enhances understanding of PMI challenges by depicting routines' internal dynamics, their incompatibility, and the role of broader context in shaping their performances post-merger. The findings trace resistance to PMI to routine incompatibility caused by the simultaneous presence of multiple understandings (ostensive aspects) for integration, generated by the quest for efficiency-based synergies and continuity within the university post-merger, and for preservation, inherited from the pre-merger era and the routine embeddedness within the local context. The findings shed new light on the post-merger integration–preservation dilemma by illustrating how the interplay of routine participants’ agency and routine embeddedness within the organization and broader societal context constrains PMI, in spite of an intended full consolidation plan, as routine participants enact the routine in the emerging context.     

The differential impact of COVID‐19 on the work conditions of women and men academics during the lockdown

That the COVID‐19 pandemic has affected the work conditions of large segments of society is in no doubt. A growing body of journalistic accounts raised the possibility that the lockdown caused by the pandemic has affected women and men in different ways, due mostly to the traditionally gendered division of labour in society. We attempt to test this oft‐cited argument by conducting an original survey with nearly 200 academics. Specifically, we explore the extent to which the effect of the lockdown on childcare, housework and home‐office environment varies across women and men. Our results show that a number of factors are associated with the effect of the lockdown on the work conditions of academics at home, including gender, having children, perceived threat from COVID‐19 and satisfaction with the work environment. We also show that having children disproportionately affects women in terms of the amount of housework during the lockdown.     

Activities and social contact as antecedents to sleep onset time in U.S. adolescents

This study evaluated adolescents' evening patterns in activities, social contact, and location to better understand antecedents to adolescents' sleep onset time (SOT). The SOT is important for sleep duration and related health outcomes. Using a nationally representative sample of 15- to 18-year-old adolescents from the American Time Use Survey (N = 10,341; 47% female; 57% white), structural equation modeling demonstrated that late SOTs mediated links between evening activities, social contact, locations, and shorter sleep durations. Passive leisure, time in public locations, and time with friends late in the evenings were associated with later SOTs, whereas homework and active leisure did not. Parents and practitioners can use this information to carefully evaluate evening activities, social contact, and location to support healthy SOTs for adolescents across time.
