• Planned Luck: How Incubators Can Facilitate Serendipity for Nascent Entrepreneurs Through Fostering Network Embeddedness (2020, methodology): “We followed core studies (e.g., Khavul et al., 2009; Lingo & O'Mahony, 2010; Plowman et al., 2007) using established qualitative methodology to unpack network processes.”
• The Diversity-Bandwidth Trade-off1 (2011, unknown): “It is not surprising that evidence contradicting the predictions of brokerage theory typically emerges in R&D (Reagans and McEvily 2003), innovation (Obstfeld 2005), and the creative arts (Uzzi and Spiro 2005; Lingo and O’Mahony 2010).”
• Cultural Industries: Product–Market Characteristics, Management Challenges and Industry Dynamics (2015, unknown): “The integration of artistic and financial goals has been found to enable both creative outcomes (Cappetta and Cillo 2008; Lingo and O'Mahony 2010) and financial success (Cohendet and Simon 2007; Ordanini et al. 2008; Yamashita and Masaru 2006).”
• Algorithms at Work: The New Contested Terrain of Control (2020, background): “Similar to traditional brokerage work, algorithmic brokerage involves two main sets of practices—connecting practices and buffering practices—to bridge different groups with disparate expertise, meanings, and status (Barley, 1996; Burt, 1992; Kellogg, 2014; Lingo & O’Mahony, 2010; Obstfeld, 2005).”
• Making a marriage of materials: The role of gatekeepers and shepherds in the absorption of external knowledge and innovation performance (2017, background): “…work of gatekeepers that makes external knowledge understandable to an internal audience, later work in that tradition has focused predominantly on how gatekeepers build internal and external networks to source external knowledge (Allen, 1977; Macdonald and Williams, 1994; Tushman and Katz, 1980).”
• Fostering team creativity: perspective taking as key to unlocking diversity's potential. (2010, background): “Whereas idea generation is widely studied (Paulus & Nijstad, 2003), research is only starting to develop an in-depth picture of the potentially distinct processes that teams use to transform ideas into a final solution (Lingo & O’Mahoney, 2010).”
• Balancing on the Creative Highwire (2016, background): “The work done so far has focused on the impact of network position on whether and how creators are able to win the social support needed to implement their ideas (e.g., Lingo and O’Mahony, 2010; Baer, 2012; Perry-Smith and Mannucci, 2015).”
