The Plot Thickens: A Sociology of Conspiracy Theories
Conspiracy theories are a constant feature of human society but have recently risen in prominence with the flurry of COVID-19 conspiracy theories and their public display in social media. Conspiracy theories should be studied not only because of their potential harm but also because they are related to other sources of misinformation such as folk theories, rumors, and fake news. Recent understanding of their spread has shifted the focus from inve…
Online Conspiracy Groups: Micro-Bloggers, Bots, and Coronavirus Conspiracy Talk on Twitter
Conspiracies are consequential and social, yet online conspiracy groups that consist of individuals (and bots) seeking to explain events or a system have been neglected in sociology. We extract conspiracy talk about the COVID-19 pandemic on Twitter and use the biterm topic model (BTM) to provide a descriptive baseline for the discursive and social structure of online conspiracy groups. We find that individuals enter these communities through a ga…
Ripples of Fear: The Diffusion of a Bank Panic
Community reactions against organizations can be driven by negative information spread through a diffusion process that is distinct from the diffusion of organizational practices. Bank panics offer a classic example of selective diffusion of negative information. Bank panics involve widespread bank runs, although a low proportion of banks experience a run. We develop theory on how organizational similarity, community similarity, and network proxi…
Decision‐Making
Organizational decision‐making occurs when individuals or groups make decisions on behalf of an organization. Decision‐making is integral to organized behavior in general, and to managerial work in particular. Theory of decision‐making comes in different flavors depending on the number of decision‐makers involved and whether multiple decision‐makers have shared preferences or conflicts. It also differs depending on whether the procedure for evalu…
Slack Resources
Slack resources are resources in excess of what is required to reward the dominant coalition that governs the organization.

Echoes of the Past: Organizational Foundings as Sources of an Institutional Legacy of Mutualism
Conventional wisdom in organization theory holds that the environment imprints organizations at the time of their birth. We reverse the imagery and propose that early founding of a nonprofit organization in one domain imprints a community with a general institutional legacy of collective civic action. Consequently, the community is more likely to later establish new nonprofit organizations in a different domain. Empirically, we show that Norwegia…
Organizations Gone Wild: The Causes, Processes, and Consequences of Organizational Misconduct
Although research on organizational misconduct has a long history and a recent increase in popularity, important questions are still unexplored. We review and critique research on misconduct with an emphasis on organizational causes. In addition to reviewing some active areas of research, we also examine less‐trodden areas and make suggestions for their development. We find that the definition of misconduct is often implicit and the role of socia…

Organizational Routines and Performance Feedback
Superman or the Fantastic Four? knowledge combination And experience in Innovative Teams
This study focuses on effects of knowledge and experience on both mean and variance measures of individual and team innovations. We propose that multiple knowledge domains produce novel combinations that increase the variance of product performance and that extensive experience produces outputs with high average performance. We analyzed innovations in the comic book industry, finding that innovations with extreme success and failure were affected…
Vox Populi: Resource Partitioning, Organizational Proliferation, and the Cultural Impact of the Insurgent Microradio Movement
Research on social movements has emphasized the origins of cultural movements, but has said little about how they impact popular culture through the creation of new organizations. The production of culture perspective asserts that market concentration in cultural industries inhibits diversity, but is silent about how social movements challenging corporate capitalism spur organizational birth. Organizational ecology describes how market concentrat…
Organizational Learning from Performance Feedback: A Behavioral Perspective on Innovation and Change
Revisiting Cyert and March's classic 1963 'Behavioral Theory of the Firm', Henrich Greve offers an intriguing analysis of how firms evolve in response to feedback about their own performance. Based on ideas from organizational theory, social psychology, and economics, he explains how managers set goals, evaluate performance, and determine strategic changes. Drawing on a range of studies, including the author's own analysis of the Japanese shipbui…
A Behavioral Theory of R&d Expenditures and Innovations: Evidence From Shipbuilding.
I base an integrated model of innovation development and launch on the behavioral theory of the firm. This model specifies that research and development expenses are increased when low performance causes “problemistic search” and when excess resources cause “slack search.” Innovations generated by search are launched if low performance gives managers high risk tolerance. Using data from shipbuilding firms, I show that high performance reduces R&D…
Job Search with Organizational Size As a Signal
It is in workers ' interest to leave theirjobs ifbetter work can befound, but imperfect information on outside opportunities impedes theirjobsearch. Wedescribe two theories on workers ' search using the organizational size as a proxy for work characteristics and derive hypotheses on how the organizational sizedistribution in a labormarket affects job separations. We test the hypotheses with NLSY 79 data on job separations, finding that diversity …
An Ecological Theory of Spatial Evolution: Local Density Dependence in Tokyo Banking, 1894-1936
Organizations exist in a differentiated spatial ecology generated by past foundings and failures and affecting important organizational and individual outcomes. While ecological theory has traditionally emphasized the temporal evolution of organizational populations, this article considers their spatial evolution. Theories of spatial contagion, competition, and density dependence are used to make competing predictions on how geographically deline…
Estimation of Diffusion Processes from Incomplete Data: A Simulation Study
Event-history analysis of the diffusion of practices in a social system can show how actors are influenced by each other as well as by their own characteristics. The presumption that complete data on the entire population are essential to draw valid inferences about diffusion processes has been a major limitation in empirical analyses and has precluded diffusion studies in large populations. The authors examine the impacts of several forms of inc…

Corporate Elite Networks and Governance Changes in the 1980s
Changes in corporate governance practices can be analyzed by linking the adaptations of individual firms to the structures of the networks in which firms' decision makers are embedded. Network structures determine the speed of adaptation and ultimate patterns of prevalence of governance practices by exposing a firm to particular role models and standards of appropriateness. The authors compare the spreads of two governance innovations adopted in …
Specification and Estimation of Heterogeneous Diffusion Models
Heterogeneous diffusion models let one combine the analysis of intrinsic propensities with that of intrapopulation contagion, and to disaggregate contagion effects into individual susceptibilities, the infectiousness of prior adopters, and the social proximity of prior-potential adopter pairs. This paper reports the results of a series of Monte Carlo simulation studies that investigate estimation issues for this class of models. Graphical analysi…
Industry Diversity Effects on Job Mobility
The effect of industry variables on individual job mobility has been proposed as a promising new arena for research (Hannan 1988; Carroll, Haveman & Swaminathan 1992). This paper examines how the size diversity of organizations affects the rate of job moves within and out of industries. Using data on the career histones of a sample of Norwegian men from 1950 to 1971, this effect is modeled along with organizational and individual determinants of …
