In this paper, we estimate a translog production function for Major League Baseball (MLB) teams that uses factor inputs for hitting, pitching and defence over the 1960-2024 MLB seasons. The computed elasticities of substitution suggest that hitting and pitching are used in fixed proportions,...

This study investigates the process of selecting the inaugural chief executive officer (CEO) in nascent social ventures, emphasizing the unique qualities required due to these ventures' dual social and economic objectives.This study integrates human capital theory and gender expectancy violation...

This study examines the impact of AI adoption orientation on innovation performance in multinational corporations (MNCs), emphasizing team innovativeness as an intervening mechanism and technology orientation as a moderating factor. Using data from 410 respondents collected via a snowball...

This study investigates the impact of Machiavellian leadership on team creativity through the mediating role of cross-understanding and the moderating effect of task interdependence. While prior research has emphasized the negative consequences of Machiavellian tendencies, we argue that in...

We study project selection and development by a principal, interacting with two agents each of whom wants their respective project selected. When the best choice is uncertain, keeping both projects alive gives the principal the ability to adapt its choice in the future, but implies an efficiency...

This study examines how knowledge heterogeneity affects team creativity in the context of China's digital intelligence transformation and analyzes the mediating effects of digital intelligence enablement and technology management capability. Grounded in the knowledge-based view and dynamic...

To tackle the climate crisis, global emissions need to go down. All countries around the world already face the impact of this crisis, making urgent action essential. Ambitious Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and making finance flows consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse...

The accurate assessment of follower readiness remains a challenge within Situational Leadership Theory (SLT), which traditionally emphasizes competence and commitment while overlooking motivational and relational cues. To address this gap, the study examined a structured four-facet model of...

We present results from a field experiment that tests the effects of varying gender and linguistic group composition on performance and on group-members' perception that their voice is heard when completing complex collaborative work within a low scrutiny environment. We randomize individuals...

We use data from a Norwegian field experiment where young students were taught mathematics in small, homogenous groups to investigate how treatment effects varied across middle-achieving students dependent on their rank order and their tutors’ instructional practices. We find that individuals...

This report aims: - To summarize the results of CoP activities so far (first two years of work) - To report on some key results from the CoP regarding currently available knowledge, as well as knowledge gaps, with a focus on some priority topics. - To reflect on what an exchange of expertise can...

Innovation has become crucial for Multinational Corporations (MNCs) to survive and thrive in today's digital era of disruptive technologies. According to the attention-based view, top management team (TMT) attention reflects organizational cognition and strategic preferences. This study...

Production increasingly requires specialized expertise. To study the macroeconomic implications, I develop a tractable theory in which firms assemble teams of workers with heterogeneous task-specific skills. Deriving the firm’s production function from optimal task assignment shows that output...

This study examines the determinants of away fan attendance in Germany’s top three football divisions over six seasons and assesses its impact on match outcomes. The analysis reveals that, after conditioning on home and away teams, distance and kick-off time are the most important predictors...

This study investigates the relationships between goal attainment perception (GAP), team performance (TP), and motivation potential score (MPS). Another purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not there is a mediating role for motivation potential scores in the relationship between goal...

Experimentation is at the core of innovation. This project studies collaborative experimentation in teams, focusing on the inherent two-dimensional free-riding problem induced by payoff and informational externalities. The discouraging force of observing others' unsuccessful experimentation and...
