TL;DR: In this article , the authors draw on institutional theory and the resource-based view to analyze the relation between home-country governance imperfections and the export intensity of firms in transition economies, including an examination of the moderating role of innovation.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors address the following questions: how does emotion influence strategic management, and how can the field be further developed? They review emotion constructs used in the extant literature and identify three themes related to how emotions influenced strategic management: the nonconscious influence of emotions, emotion regulation, and collective emotions.

TL;DR: This article conducted a large-scale, empirical study of the emergence of the chief digital officer position, potential variations of this role, and the conditions under which firms choose to have this position.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors examined the relationship between institutional support and three specific dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (proactiveness, innovativeness, and risk-taking) and explored how these relationships are contingent on firm ownership and the industry life cycle.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors proposed a cognitive framework of strategic decision-making that emphasises the importance of emotion, based on a micro-foundational perspective: that is, an integrated hierarchy of cognitive processes underlying entrepreneurs' strategic decisionmaking and the interactions with external affective events.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors examine how gender diversity on boards of directors affects investment in research and development (R&D), thereby providing the platform for future ambidexterity of the organization.

TL;DR: In this article , the authors used fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to reveal multiple pathways leading to Sustained Competitive Advantage (SCA) in Chinese clothing manufacturing firms.

TL;DR: In this paper , the relationship between different learning mechanisms, post-acquisition integration strategies, and M&A performance was analyzed using meta-analytical techniques, and it was shown that the capability-building mechanism relying on deliberate investments in learning tends to be more effective than the capability mechanism based on mere experience accumulation.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors draw from family science and management research to suggest that family CEOs, because of their emotion-evoking double role as family members and business leaders, are, on average, more likely to infuse employees with positive emotions, such as enthusiasm and excitement, than hired professional CEOs.
