Digital Technologies as External Enablers of New Venture Creation in the IT Hardware Sector (2018, background): “…2009), mechanism-based theorizing is particularly appropriate for process-oriented, phenomenon-driven, ﬁeld-level research in the context of economic change that involves technology (e.g., Davis & Marquis, 2005; Henfridsson & Bygstad, 2013; Henfridsson & Yoo, 2014), which applies to our setting.”
CRAFTING QUALITATIVE RESEARCH: MORGAN AND SMIRCICH 30 YEARS ON. (2010, methodology): “We have also been asked to work outside the bounds of paradigms (Connell & Nord, 1996; Davis & Marquis, 2005; Mir & Mir, 2002; Rhodes, 2000).”
Perspective - Finding the Organization in Organizational Theory: A Meta-Theory of the Organization as a Social Actor (2010, background): “…its broader environment, open systems scholars have downplayed agency and intentionality (Powell 1991) and have increasingly taken the position that the field is the most important level of analysis and is the location of mechanisms facilitating economic and social change (Davis and Marquis 2005).”
Exploring the Foundations of Cumulative Innovation: Implications for Organization Science (2007, background): “Davis and Marquis (2005) argue that this approach is particularly helpful in explaining how macro level shifts affect actors (e.g., Lounsbury and Ventresca 2002).”
How actors change institutions: Towards a theory of institutional entrepreneurship (2009, background): “We agree with those who maintain that institutional theory stands the best chance of arriving at such understanding (Davis & Marquis, 2005 ; Kanter & Khurana, in press ), but it will do so only if it leverages the stream of research on institutional entrepreneurship including synergies with relate”
MNCs and International Accountability Standards Through an Institutional Lens: Evidence of Symbolic Conformity or Decoupling (2010, background): “, Davis and Marquis, 2005; Goodrick and Salancik, 1996; Ogawa and Scribner, 2002). While Oliver’s (1991) model posits high uncertainty as an institutional antecedent for acquiescence or avoidance, our findings suggest that institutional uncertainty may lead to symbolic conformity at best, with firms”
Value Creation by Knowledge‐Based Ecosystems: Evidence from a Field Study (2012, unknown): “Mechanism-based theorizing shows how the relationships between variables work (Davis and Marquis, 2005) by describing a ‘set of interacting parts – an assembly of elements producing an effect not inherent in any one of them’(Hernes, 1998, p.”
Breaking New Paths: Theory and Method in Path Dependence Research (2013, background): “Hence, path dependence is located in the realm of mechanism-based theorizing, which explains social phenomena by identifying the processes through which they are generated (Davis and Marquis (2005)).”
Institutional Strategies in Emerging Markets (2015, background): “The rapid rise and development of emerging economies such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, Turkey, and Indonesia in the 21st century has attracted tremendous interest from managers and investors, yet our theories have not kept pace (Davis & Marquis, 2005).”
Achieving Rigor in Qualitative Analysis: The Role of Active Categorization in Theory Building (2020, unknown): “Importantly, within qualitative data, these categories are sometimes concepts and at other times mechanisms, where mechanisms are categories of actions or behaviors that relate the concepts to each other (Davis & Marquis, 2005; Hedstr € om & Swedberg, 1996).”
Market Watch: Information and Availability Cascades Among the Media and Investors in the U.S. IPO Market (2008, background): “In doing so, we not only respond to calls for more “mechanism-based” theorizing in organization studies (Davis & Marquis, 2005), but also address a question of considerable pragmatic importance: What social processes shape the performance of newly public firms?”
Self-Reported Limitations and Future Directions in Scholarly Reports (2013, background): “Since the 1980s, empirical OT research has shifted from paradigm-driven to problem-oriented research reflecting events and developments in large firms (Davis & Marquis, 2005).”
An Organizational Approach to Comparative Corporate Governance: Costs, Contingencies, and Complementarities (2008, unknown): “Underpinning corporate governance are also various policy approaches that aim to improve the effectiveness of corporate governance by regulating managerial power (Parkinson 1993; Davis 2005).”
