题目：Impact of Structural Antecedents on Corporate Entrepreneurship Managers’ Escalating Behaviors
报告人：Miles Yang 澳大利亚麦考瑞大学 高级讲师
报告摘要：
The decision to continue to invest in or stop developing a new product when it appears to be failing is an important and intriguing strategic decision in corporate entrepreneurship. Drawing on the escalation-of-commitment literature and behavioral decision-making theory, we examine how managers’ perceptions of threats and opportunities in the external environment may shape their decision to escalate investment in a failing NPD (new product development) project. We test our theoretical model with two studies: first, a behavioral decision-making experimental study with a sample of 128 managers; and second, an interview study with 12 managers. Our results show that managers’ perceptions of environmental opportunities and business threats significantly shape their decision to escalate commitment and that the impact of such managerial perceptions on escalating tendency is contingent on the stage of the innovation process.
