Bringing Business Academics Back to Their Senses
Climate change is now a focal issue within business school research and education. While laudable, the focus is both inadequate and, at times, misguided. Research and courses on climate change focus primarily on human and economic systems with limited attention to the natural systems in which they are embedded and which are becoming inhospitable to human and other life forms. A growing recognition of the Anthropocene era raises questions about th…
Scaling a tech-mediated community
How a community scales yet retains its fundamental character is a perennial puzzle - doubly so for a decentralized technology-mediated community. Based on our longitudinal case study of Ethereum, we argue that scaling can be done via a set of co-constitutive change processes called prefigurative enrolling. Our historical assessment of this case was assisted by structural topic modeling (STM) of blogs, crypto media, and news outlets. This revealed…
A new tool for policymakers
Ecosystems are typically evaluated and understood using standard visible material metrics, such as new products, patents, startups, VC funding, jobs, and successful exits. Yet emerging entrepreneurial ecosystems (EEEs) provide many possibilities for members not signaled by such visible markers. Consequently, policymakers may have a difficult time making informed decisions about incentives and regulations to foster economic growth through ecosyste…
Three Paradoxes of Climate Truth for the Anthropocene Social Scientist
Climate change has been one of the most contested truths for the past two decades. Many social scientists within the academy and this volume have spent years discerning the nature of this truth and articulating its importance for business, organizations, and society. Yet these same scholars face a triple paradox in their work on this important issue. In this essay, we examine those paradoxes—(1) The Paradox of Eliminating the Main Driver, (2) The…
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…
Firms within Families
One of the fast-growing emerging economies, China has achieved miraculous progress in terms of economic and social welfare development over the past few decades. At least part of this progress can be attributed to the evolution in the state’s orientation towards entrepreneurship, which shifted from one of strict prohibition, to one of tolerance then accommodation, and now to one of encouragement (Peng, 2004). As elucidated by Puffer, McCarthy and…
Institutional Theory and the Natural Environment
This review article summarizes the main tenets of institutional theory as they apply to the topic of the Anthropocene in the domain of organization and the natural environment. But our review is distinctive for two reasons: First, it is focused on providing avenues researching the Anthropocene Era. Second, while based on the trajectory of current, accumulated theory and research, our review is forward-looking in its orientation and thus aimed at …
Introduction
Do the Stories They tell get them the Money They Need? The Role of Entrepreneurial Narratives in Resource Acquisition
Adopting a narrative approach to resource acquisition research, we examine the effects of storytelling on a firm's ability to secure capital. We argue that narratives help leverage resources by conveying a comprehensible identity for an entrepreneurial firm, elaborating the logic behind proposed means of exploiting opportunities and embedding entrepreneurial endeavors within broader discourses. Qualitative analyses of all 1996–2000 initial public…
The Temporal Dynamics of Institutionalization
Talking About the Natural Environment
In this article, the authors argue that discourse in organizations about the natural environment challenges the traditionally enacted boundaries between the firm and the environment and therefore is an important source of deinstitutionalization. Using data gathered from their research project on sustainability, the authors show that attention by organizational members to meaningful cues embedded in terminology, expressions, and stories undermines…
Global Capitalism
Corporations and the Urban Advanced Business Service Sector
This article analyzes interurban variation in one advanced service, management consulting, across large U.S. cities in 1963. Human ecologists assume advanced services fulfill a coordinative function in the metropolitan system. Consistent with this view, we found that: (1) metropolitan population size and distance to neighboring metropolitan areas were positively associated with a city's consulting activity, (2) the number of other large cities wi…

Mission Control? The Development of Personnel Systems in U.S. Industry
War and Peace
This paper charts the transformation of the employment relationship in different industries during the second quarter of this century and is based on a representative sampling of U.S. business organizations. The first section documents changes in the control systems that prevailed in U.S. industries between the Depression and the end of World War II. The descriptive analyses generally corroborate portraits that have recently been provided by neo-…
