- 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.

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."

Trust and Information Asymmetry: How Intermediaries Affect Asymmetric Innovation Collaborations
- 2023
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - New York : Academy of Management. - 2151-6561 .- 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Trust plays a crucial role in interorganizational collaborations. However, barriers such as information asymmetry between prospective partners impede trust building, especially in asymmetric collaborations. Although trust and information asymmetry have been extensively studied, previous research has failed to provide insight into the mechanisms of trust transference and the circumstances under which information asymmetry is accepted and considered legitimate. This paper addresses these research gaps by drawing on data from 113 semi-structured interviews in a multiple-case study of eight intermediary-mediated innovation collaborations between incumbent firms and start-ups. Based on the results of an inductive cross-case analysis, we propose that intermediaries orchestrate the trust transference by building trust with the prospective parties and mitigating information asymmetry. Furthermore, the involvement of intermediaries leads to the acceptance of information asymmetry through its legitimation. Finally, we shed light on trust nurturing and trust repairing practices developed by intermediaries during innovation collaborations.

How Significant Events and Team Trust Predict Member’s Exit in New Venture Teams
- 2023
-
In: Academy of Management Proceedings. - 2151-6561 .- 0065-0668. ; 2023:1, s. 11742-11742
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper examines how the significant events and team member trust in new ventures affect exit from the team. We consider team member exit as an outcome that affects both individuals, the team, and the performance of the new venture. We develop our arguments based on event system theory, which is specifically beneficial to understand how new ventures develop. We test our arguments using a unique longitudinal data set that follows 108 teams and their 218 members over a year using repeated questionnaires (n=782). We use a Bayesian and joint modeling approach to model team turnover and correct for non-ignorable non-responses under population heterogeneity. We find that team members' level of trust affects how they perceive significant events (novel and disruptive). Trust does not affect team members’ exit. Disruptive events are strongly associated with team members’ exit. This suggests that disruptive events mediate the effect of trust on team members’ exit. We discuss the implications of our results for theory.

Accommodating Demands for Calculability : The Financialization of ESG in the Swedish Financial Market
- 2023
-
In: Academy of Management Proceedings. - New York : Academy of Management. - 2151-6561 .- 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Financial market actors are subject to mounting demands to integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues into financial analysis. To make non-financial issues “work with” the existing modus and format of financial analysis has however turned out to be something of a struggle. In this paper, we explore how financial actors cope with ESG integration, and in particular the financialization of ESG. More generally we seek to better understand how existing calculative practices accommodate new “frames” (Callon, 1998). To do this, we draw on the notion of sociomaterial assemblages i.e. the arrangements of human beings and material entities, and examine existing and ESG-oriented assemblages in the Swedish financial market. We propose a sociomaterial process model of calculability for how new frames are introduced, in four parts. We find that central to this process is bricolage, which contributes to the reframing process and to a better appropriation of new frames by existing assemblages.

When Bad is Good (and Good is Bad):Examining the Ironic Antecedents and Consequences of Bad Behavior
- 2023
-
In: Academy of Management Annual Meeting Proceedings. - New York : Academy of Management. - 2151-6561 .- 0065-0668.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- It is a common assumption that organizations should avoid “bad” behaviors, as such behaviors have very few positive outcomes or they are likely motivated by undesirable antecedents. In this symposium, we question this prevailing wisdom, in several ways. We suggest that bad behaviors may both inspire positive outcomes (task performance) and be motivated by seemingly “positive” or innocuous antecedents (gratitude, psychological distance). Additionally, we find that engaging in “bad” behaviors (expressing anger) may have positive relational consequences. Together this symposium explores a series of counterintuitive findings that help explain why bad may be good, and good bad in ways that helps illuminate unexpected behavioral mechanism in workplace relationships.

Graduate Students as Boundary Spanners: How Academic Engagement can influence Firm Innovation
- 2020
-
In: Academy of Management. Annual Meeting Proceedings. Volym 2020:1. - : Academy of Management. Annual Meeting Proceedings. - 2151-6561.
-
Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper contributes to literature on “academic engagement with industry”, by exploring graduate students as boundary spanners between firms and universities. As contrasted with studies of commercialization of scientific results through patents and start-up firms, literature on academic engagement focuses on how faculty members and students engage in knowledge-related interactions with external organizations. Extant literature has focused more on universities and less on firms. We conceptualize graduate students as holding a boundary spanning position between the firm and university, focusing empirically upon firm employed PhD students in engineering. More specifically, we investigate how their activities constitute a form of academic engagement, in order to further understand their influence on the firms’ absorptive capacity. We revise an existing conceptual framework and further develop the notion that there are two pathways – e.g. a direct and an indirect pathway – by which collaborative research may impact innovation outcomes within firms. When doing so, we specify how graduate student activities mainly support the development of firm capabilities for early stages in the innovation process, specifically recognizing the value and, to some extent, assimilating new external knowledge. We conclude with two propositions about how boundary spanner activities can be conceptualized as organizational routines underlying search capabilities
