• Navigators through the storm: A review of organization theories and the behavior of incumbent firms during transitions (2017, background): “Empirically, niches are commonly conceptualized as a firm’s market breadth (Baum and Singh, 1994), product range (Sorenson et al., 2006), and a combination of its strategy and size (Swaminathan, 1995).”
• Competitive dynamics, strategic consistency, and organizational survival (2009, background): “Thus, a multiunit strategy similarly weakens the signals coming from the marketplace as does a sub-optimal organizational imprint (Sorenson et al., 2006).”
• Performance Differentials Between Diversifying Entrants and Entrepreneurial start-ups: A Complexity Approach (2009, unknown): “For instance, Sorenson et al. (2006) disentangled the behavioral and positional effects of change in organizational scope and found that although change results in positional benefits, the tendency of generalists to constantly change and expand can be temporarily detrimental.”
