Position taking and field level change
How does a social actor in a disadvantaged position achieve field level change? Using a longitudinal case of ‘Capability’ Brown, an individual rising from humble origins to shape and refine the British landscape, we examine how an actor’s unfolding efforts to move from a social position at the periphery of a field, to a social position at the centre of a field, may present them with opportunities to influence field level change. In doing so, we e…
Turnaround and failure
Research employing the resource-based view (RBV) has overwhelming focused on the upside of resources, namely those that provide benefit to the firm. However, an emerging research stream suggests that the downside of resources, namely resource weaknesses, may be crucial in gaining a greater understanding of the key factors that contribute to firm performance and the ability to turnaround failing companies. We examine the infamous case of Jarvis, a…
University Spin‐Outs
University spinouts ( USO s) are a distinctive subset of new technology based firms, which relate to the university environment from which they emerge and the associated role of the academic within the new firm. In this essay, we explore the distinctive nature of USO s, and review four important dimensions of USO research. Drawing on the taxonomy developed by Mustar et al . (2006), we examine issues relating to: (i) USO creation, particularly in …
Broken ‘Two‐way Windows’? An Exploration of Professional Hybrids
Professional hybrids are situated between managerial and professional groups, potentially enabling them to move between different organizational groups. Extant research assumes that professional hybrids undergo identity transition to overcome the conflicts associated with influencing two distinct organizational realms. However, how these identity conflicts are managed remains unclear. To explore how professional hybrids manage such identity confl…
Bringing history (back) into the resource-based view
This paper assesses the role of historical analysis in the development of the RBV, focusing on the work of Edith Penrose. Drawing on Penrose's own work, and her correspondence with her teacher and colleague Professor Fritz Machlup, the article argues that historical analysis was central to the development of her ideas on firm growth, which provided the intellectual underpinnings of the RBV. It concludes by arguing that history matters to the RBV,…

A Penrosean theory of acquisitive growth
Penrose's book The Theory of the Growth of the Firm presents a growth theory that overwhelmingly relates to organic growth, with little explicit focus on acquisitive growth. This article addresses the gap in her growth theory by drawing on the historical case of Enodis, and insights from the resource-based view of the firm, to develop a Penrosean theory of acquisitive growth. It concludes that acquisitive growth not only enables a firm to grow mo…
The co-evolution of third stream activities in UK higher education
This paper explores the co-evolution of third stream activities in UK higher education from 1970 to 2008. Drawing on interviews and archival analysis it identifies four distinct periods through which third stream activities have co-evolved. The research suggests that the co-evolution of the third stream mission in universities is inextricably linked to the emerging requirement for universities to demonstrate they have a purpose in society. It con…
A paradox in healthcare service development
Institutional Work to Maintain Professional Power
The creation of new roles commonly threatens the power and status of elite professionals through the substitution of their labour. In this paper we examine the institutional work carried out by elite professionals to maintain their professional dominance when threatened. Drawing on 11 case sites from the English National Health Service (NHS) where new nursing or medical roles have been introduced, threatening the power and status of specialist do…
Sensemaking and sensegiving stories of jazz leadership
Drawing on contemporary interviews and archival data, we explore how stories can be used as templates to guide jazz musicians’ sensemaking about the leadership of teams, what it means to be a jazz musician and what jazz is (or is not). By going beyond the metaphorical notion of jazz as improvisation, we contribute to theories of leadership by showing how informal storytelling can act as a powerful sensemaking and sensegiving mechanism for leaders…
The role of institutional entrepreneurs in reforming healthcare
Funding incentives, collaborative dynamics and scientific productivity
The institutionalization of distributed leadership
Distributed leadership is promoted as being well suited to public service organizations because of their multiple goals, less pronounced managerial authority and presence of powerful professional groups. Drawing on qualitative evidence we analyse the complex process of the institutionalization of distributed leadership in English schools. Our analysis suggests that competing institutional forces simultaneously foster and stymie the adoption of di…
Mid-range universities’ linkages with industry
The export intensity of venture capital backed companies
A critique of transformational leadership
Our study of secondary schools in England illustrates the ineffective implementation of transformational leadership within public service organizations by policy-makers. First, a rather narrow, managerialist variant of transformational leadership is promoted, which is resisted by school teachers and principals. Second, associated with this, policy does not take account of the institutional context within which public services organizations operat…
