Effects of adverse childhood experiences and personal resilience on household emergency preparedness
Introduction: Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) are potentially traumatic events occurring during childhood that can affect adulthood health and wellness, including preparedness for disasters. This study aimed to understand how ACEs, personality traits, personal resilience, and healthcare provider discussions of preparedness affect household emergency preparedness to inform interventions for individuals with a history of ACEs. Methods: This cr…

Three Stressed Systems
The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the academic productivity of health sciences faculty members in one graduate school in the United States. Thirty-two faculty members completed an electronic survey comparing academic productivity in the year prior to the pandemic to a year during the pandemic. In total, 90.7% of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that time dedicated to teaching increased, and 81.2%…
The 360° Corporation
Going beyond the business case for diversity or sustainability, this book offers guidance to leaders as they navigate the competing demands of stakeholders. Sarah Kaplan argues that conflicting needs, rather than being confusing or problematic, can actually be the source of organizational adaptability and resilience, and shows how companies can not only cope with real tradeoffs but actually thrive and innovate around these tensions
Topic Modeling in Management Research
Increasingly, management researchers are using topic modeling, a new method borrowed from computer science, to reveal phenomenon-based constructs and grounded conceptual relationships in textual data. By conceptualizing topic modeling as the process of rendering constructs and conceptual relationships from textual data, we demonstrate how this new method can advance management scholarship without turning topic modeling into a black box of complex…
The double‐edged sword of recombination in breakthrough innovation
We explore the double‐edged sword of recombination in generating breakthrough innovation: recombination of distant or diverse knowledge is needed because knowledge in a narrow domain might trigger myopia, but recombination can be counterproductive when local search is needed to identify anomalies. We take into account how creativity shapes both the cognitive novelty of the idea and the subsequent realization of economic value. We develop a text‐b…
Temporal Work in Strategy Making
This paper reports on a field study of strategy making in one organization facing an industry crisis. In a comparison of five strategy projects, we observed that organizational participants struggled with competing interpretations of what might emerge in the future, what was currently at stake, and even what had happened in the past. We develop a model of temporal work in strategy making that articulates how actors resolved differences and linked…
Bounding an emerging technology
‘Nanotechnology’ is often touted as a significant emerging technological field. However, determining what nanotechnology means, whose research counts as nanotechnology, and who gets to speak on behalf of nanotechnology is a highly political process involving constant negotiation with significant implications for funding, legislation, and citizen support. In this paper, we deconstruct a high-profile moment of controversy about nanotechnology’s pos…

Framing Contests
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 managers make sense of ambiguous information from their en…
