Examining Gender Equality in Various Organizational and National Contexts
- 2022
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - New York : Academy of Management. - 2151-6561 .- 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The often-noted positive increase in women’s participation in the workforce has not been observed equally across sectors, countries, or continents. Current literature on women’s careers, work opportunities, and experiences has examined diverse individual and contextual factors that enable or hinder their respective career progression and access to leadership positions. Building on and extending those themes, this presenter symposium adopts a multi-layered approach/lens to examine women’s career opportunities and leadership experiences in diverse organizational, professional, national and regional settings. Incorporating theoretical, ontological and epistemological diversity and drawing on systematic reviews and empirical evidence, the collection of papers showcase innovative insights into women’s career opportunities and experiences over time, including their access to and experience of leadership roles. In line with this year’s AOM theme “Creating A Better World Together”, the symposium will generate critical reflection for gender-inclusive careers, HRM and leadership scholarship, discourse, policy, and practice in various contexts such as USA, Canada, UK, Belgium, Sweden, India, Bangladesh, Mexico.

Overcoming Gender Bias in Higher Education Institutions: The Importance of Gender Equality Plans
- 2023
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - New York : Academy of Management. - 2151-6561 .- 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Business & Management (B&M) schools and the wider academic context have been characterized as based on a traditional, linear male model according to which academics focus on their career only, work full- time, and have no family responsibilities In line with the current AOM theme “Putting the Worker Front and Center”, this symposium brings together four papers that showcase theoretical and practical insights to achieve gender equality in higher education institutions. The symposium starts by providing a scoping review of gender bias in academia and goes beyond shedding light on barriers, to focus on showcasing effective actions taken to reach gender equality in academic institutions in Lebanon, and across a variety of European countries including Greece, Sweden, the UK, Netherlands, Spain, Slovakia, Slovenia, Germany, France, and Belgium. The takeaways of this symposium provide culturally diversified insights into the progress made towards achieving gender equality in academia, with reflections on both theoretical and practical implications on gender equality in academia.

From R to D II : The Impact of Policies, Platforms and Business Models on R&D Trajectories
- 2024
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - : Academy of Management. - 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- In the second edition of our symposium devoted to exploring the dynamics of moving from research to development, we examine how demand side factors influence this trajectory. This focus resonates perfectly with this year’s theme of “Innovating for the Future - Policy, Purpose, and Organizations”. We present four empirical studies that explore how policy incentives, mandatory disclosure requirements, platform market dynamics, and distinct organizational business models each impact project outcomes. These four studies underscore both the opportunities as well as the challenges in designing levers to incentivize and organize innovation. Through this symposium we hope to spark future research that views innovation as a dynamic process shaped by social and business needs.

Entrepreneuring in Text : The Communicative Constitution of Corporate Venture Units
- 2024
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - : Academy of Management. - 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- While individual or collective actor’s role in entrepreneuring is widely established and studied, less is known about how texts, specifically multimodal texts that combine words and images, contribute to organization creation. In this study, we draw on the communicative constitution of organizations perspective to explore textual agency in the emergent process of organization creation. Incorporating insights from multimodality and organizational bullshit literature, we conceptualize multimodal texts as construction sites that organize the emergent new order of corporate venture units. We analyze the communicative practices employed in a corpus of multimodal texts containing 230 images and about 20 000 words, which address the corporate venture units of ten Fortune 500 firms headquartered in north-western Europe. In our multimodal analyses, we find that several communicative practices in the texts work together to organize those parts of the organizational reality of CVUs that are settled, as well as those that are still under construction into a loosely coupled system. We identify concretization, embedding, and ambiguity as central communicative practices in and through which texts communicatively constitute the organizational reality of CVUs.

The International Network Activity of Entrepreneurial Firms in Multi-Layered Networks
- 2024
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - : Academy of Management. - 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study investigates the dynamics of international network activity of entrepreneurial firms within multi-layered interorganizational networks. Interorganizational relationships enable entrepreneurial firms to tap into external resources, identify new business opportunities and are pivotal for their innovativeness and growth. Firm-level network activity, however, is embedded in complex, multi-layered interorganizational networks. This research explores variations in international network activity across different network layers, with a focus on cross-border relationships. Drawing from social structuration theory, we take a dynamic perspective and analyze how network structure and activity in one period affect international network activity in subsequent periods. We analyze a unique dataset covering the network activity of Swedish dedicated biotech firms from 2004–2013, using social network and statistical analyses. The research reported in this paper finds that international network activity differs between the R&D, financial and marketing layers of an interorganizational network and offers critical insights into the nuanced nature of international network activity within multi-layered networks.

Typifications of Contemporary New Venture Units : An Exploratory Analysis of Visual Registers
- 2020
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - 0065-0668 .- 2151-6561.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Innovation ‘labs’ and ‘garages’ and units sometimes simply called ‘X’ are mushrooming in large corporations. Such new venture units are, however, not a novel phenomenon and have gone in and out of fashion since the 1970s. Extant work conceives of these units as vehicles for corporate venturing and discusses them as places that allow internal new ventures to grow in an environment, designed specifically to support and protect the development of fledgling new ventures with the appropriate culture and routines, until they are ready to be adopted by the mainstream organization. This understanding is, however, colored by the common conceptual and methodological choices of prior research and may overlook other meanings of NVUs. In this study, we thus problematize the ‘settled’ view of NVUs in the literature and study corporations’ intersubjectively shared, situated and culturally embedded ideas about NVUs, and their essential characteristics, that are embodied in visual representations of NVUs. For this purpose, we explore recurring, typified symbolic instantiations of actors and acts, as well as the use of visual language, in 464 images used to present and introduce NVUs on the websites of 30 large, European corporations. We find that the habitat of NVUs, and life inside it, (i.e. NVUs way of working and working conditions) and not ventures and outputs are central to the visual discourse."

Innovation Collaboration with Start-ups for Organizational Change in Family Firms
- 2024
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - : Academy of Management. - 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Organizational change is crucial for family firms to survive and prosper in today’s complex business environment. However, organizational change is often impeded by the difficult trade-off between change and continuity. By providing insights into new ways of working during innovation collaborations, start-ups can help introduce change in family firms. Despite increasing scholarly attention, previous research has failed to explain the role of start-ups in organizational change in family firms and their interaction with internal actors. Based on data from six cases of family firms collaborating with start-ups (including 40 qualitative interviews), we distill the mechanisms that start-ups developed to interact with internal change agents and owning families to uncover opportunities for change, initiate new practices, and facilitate their implementation and dissemination within the family firm.
