內(nèi)容簡介:
Prior research on formalized organizational structure and entrepreneurship argues that new firms with formal structure perform better than new firms with less formal structure in dynamic contexts. However, research on teams finds that formal structure leads to poor performance when teams are small, suggesting that the benefits of formal structure for new firms operating in a dynamic environment is contingent on the size of the new firm. In this paper, we examine the moderating effect of firm size on the formalization–new firm performance relationship using a randomized controlled experiment with a sample of 393 new firms founded in Peru during a period of high market dynamism. In contrast to past research on formalization and entrepreneurship in dynamic contexts, we find that small new firms with less formal structure perform better than small new firms with more formal structure.
主講人簡介:
Ryan Coles,美國康涅狄格大學(xué)(UConn)商學(xué)院管理與創(chuàng)業(yè)系助理教授,以及康涅狄格大學(xué)商學(xué)院Daigle實驗室創(chuàng)始人和首席科學(xué)家,該實驗室是首個致力于人工智能和組織研究的大學(xué)研究實驗室。Ryan于美國康奈爾大學(xué)(Cornell U)獲得管理學(xué)博士,研究興趣包括創(chuàng)業(yè)、技術(shù)商業(yè)化、初創(chuàng)企業(yè)國際化、制度理論、不平等與分層、新興市場與技術(shù)、機器學(xué)習(xí)與人工智能等。其研究以其理論創(chuàng)新和方法嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)而著稱,已于Organization Science和Management Decision等高水平期刊發(fā)表多篇文章。研究成果多次被國際學(xué)術(shù)會議邀請做報告,比如美國管理學(xué)會年會(AOM)、戰(zhàn)略管理學(xué)會(SMS)和INSEAD創(chuàng)業(yè)會議等,連續(xù)兩年獲得美國管理學(xué)會年會最佳論文(2022/2023)。此外,Ryan一直探索創(chuàng)業(yè)精神的社會基礎(chǔ),與實驗室成員提出“統(tǒng)一制度主義”(Unified Institutionalism),被著名社會學(xué)家霍華德·艾爾德里奇稱為“理論上的奇跡”。Ryan還積極推動研究成果商業(yè)化,2023年前三季度,Daigle實驗室團隊共啟動了八個初創(chuàng)項目,總計估值變化高達26.3億美元。
