"Why do so many organizations fail to mobilize the social networks of employees to respond to disruptions, innovate, and change? In Digital Relationships, Jason Davis argues that individual and organizational interests about networking can come out of alignment such that the network ties that...

Collective action is critical for successful market formation. However, relatively little is known about how and under what conditions actors overcome collective action problems to successfully form new markets. Using the benefits of simulation methods, we uncover how collective action problems...

Using a nested multiple-case study of participating ventures, directors, and mentors of eight of the original U.S. accelerators we explore how accelerators' program designs influence new ventures' ability to access, interpret, and process the external information needed to survive and grow....

Define coefficients (?[lambda]) by C[lambda](Ip + Z)/C[lambda](Ip) = [Sigma]k=0l [Sigma][varkappa][set membership, variant]k ([varkappa][lambda]) C?(Z)/C?(Ip), where the C[lambda]'s are zonal polynomials in p by p matrices. It is shown that C[varkappa](Z) etr(Z)/k! = [Sigma]l=k[infinity]...

Much is known about the importance of learning and some of the distinct types of learning that organizations use (e.g., trial-and-error learning, vicarious learning, experimental learning and improvisational learning). Yet surprisingly little is known about these types get sequenced over time...

Using computational and mathematical modeling, this study explores the tension between too little and too much structure that is shaped by the core tradeoff between efficiency and flexibility in dynamic environments. Our aim is to develop a more precise theory of the fundamental relationships...

Simulation is an important method, but its link to theory development remains unclear and even controversial. Our purpose is to clarify when and how to use simulation methods in theory development. First, we develop a roadmap for conducting theory development using simulation methods. It ranges...

Accelerators are entrepreneurial programs that attempt to help ventures learn, often utilizing extensive consultation with mentors, program directors, customers, guest speakers, alumni and peers. While accelerators have rapidly emerged as prominent players in the entrepreneurial ecosystem,...

While extant research recognizes the importance of collective action for market formation, it provides little understanding about when and to what extent collective action is important. In this paper, we develop a novel theoretical framework detailing what collective action problems and...
