报告题目：Bringing Diverse Perspectives or Conflicts to a Board? The Impact of Female Directors on Strategic Change

报告人：王宇

摘要：Integrating upper echelons and social categorization theories, this study examines the curvilinear relationship between female directors and strategic change. We argue that female directors can affect strategic change using both the information and conflict effects, which oppositely affect strategic change. The two effects dominate each other at different levels of female board representation, producing a curvilinear female director-strategic change relationship. Using a 2010–2016 sample of Chinese listed manufacturing firms, we find an inverted U-shaped female director-strategic change relationship. This relationship is strengthened by outside CEOs and industry dynamism such that the advantages and disadvantages of female directors are enhanced at low and high levels, respectively, of female board representation. These findings contribute to current research by suggesting a more complex female director-strategic change relationship than prior research has suggested.

报告题目：How does paradox strategic cognition affect radical innovation performance in established firms?

报告人：宋茜

摘要：This study aims to explore how established firms with paradox strategic cognition affect radical innovation. Extant literature predominantly assume that radical innovation erodes resource base of a current product and rely on intentional cannibalization to promote radical innovation. This research extends this assumption by paying closer attention to both technological and market dimensions of radical innovation and recognizes complementarity strategy as alternative approach to cannibalization strategy for radical innovation in established firms. Furthermore, we find that preference of these two strategies depends on the way in which these tensions are interpreted, which depends on the senior managers’ cognitive frame. The results indicate that paradox strategic cognition encourages the use of a complementarity strategy and discourages the use of a cannibalization strategy. Furthermore, demand uncertainty weakens the effect of paradox strategic cognition on resource leveraging. The findings figure out complementarity strategy, which completes cannibalization literature on radical innovation. Moreover, we open the black box between paradox strategic cognition and radical innovation by explaining how established firms chose between two strategies.
