Vive La Resistance: Competing Logics and the Consolidation of U.S. Community Banking (2007, methodology): “…since industrial organization economists have typically operationalized market power with concentration ratios, the organizational ecology literature suggests a different operationalization that emphasizes the existence of multiple generalist organizations (e.g., Carroll & Swaminathan, 2000).”
The Role of Entrepreneurial Passion and Creativity in Developing Entrepreneurial Intentions: Insights from American Homebrewers (2017, background): “In the United States particularly, this hobby is seen as a generator of business start-up intentions for craft breweries and microbreweries (Carroll and Swaminathan 2000; McIntosh 1995).”
Informal Entrepreneurship and Industry Conditions (2016, background): “In other cases, such gaps do not offer the size of market potential that a very large company may need to operate efficiently (Carroll & Swaminathan, 2000).”
Parsing organizational culture: How the norm for adaptability influences the relationship between culture consensus and financial performance in high-technology firms (2014, background): “Beyond identifying each organization’s HWSW mix, it is possible that firms that partition resources as specialists and generalists, respectively, may not compete directly against one another even if they operate in the same industry (e.g., Carroll & Swaminathan, 2000).”
Why are Some Organizations More Competitive than Others? Evidence from a Changing Global Market (2004, background): “Large organizations enjoy cost advantages in many industries, in which case competition favors larger organizations over smaller organizations when they occupy the same niche (Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000; Dobrev, Kim, and Carroll, 2002).”
Guilty by Association: Product-Level Category Stigma and Audience Expectations in the U.S. Craft Beer Industry (2018, background): “The core of this discourse centers on a sense of small production, independence, creativity, and high quality (Carroll, Dobrev, & Swaminathan, 2002; Carroll & Swaminathan, 2000) and represents a classic example of an oppositional identity (McKendrick & Hannan, 2014; Verhaal et al., 2015) contrasted ”
A Market Mediation Strategy: How Social Movements Seek to Change Firms’ Practices by Promoting New Principles of Product Valuation (2013, background): “…highlighted the willingness of social movements to legitimize or de-legitimize business choices and practices, as in the case of the cooperative firm (Schneiberg, 2002, 2007; Schneiberg, King & Smith, 2008) or the organizational forms of production of specialty beers (Carroll & Swaminathan, 2000).”
Collective action and market formation: An integrative framework (2018, neutral): “microbrewery market involved intensive intentional coordination to establish a collective producer identity and a recognized product category (Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000).”
Employing identities in organizational ecology (2004, background): “Carroll and Swaminathan (2000) have discussed, for instance, how large beer manufacturers were constrained in responding to the increased demand for micro-brewed products because of questions about the authenticity of their brewing practices.”
Understanding aesthetic innovation in the context of technological evolution. (2013, background): “In the context of a mature product category and incremental technological innovation, where firms can no longer drive product change on the basis of technological novelty, the strategic significance of this dynamic becomes more crucial to sales (Carroll & Swaminathan, 2000; Verganti, 2009).”
Organizational Failure: A Critique of Recent Research and a Proposed Integrative Framework (2004, neutral): “…ecology approach has been validated by several studies in a number of industries, including automobile manufacturers (Hannan, 1997; Hannan et al, 1998), breweries (Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000), newspaper publishing (Carroll and Delacroix, 1982), and the hotel industry (Baum and Mezias, 1992).”
Categorical contrast and audience appeal: niche width and critical success in winemaking (2010, background): “Other familiar examples of schemas include the codes-specifying genres in beer brewing (Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000), films (Hsu, 2006), graphical arts (Fine, 2004), literature (Griswold, 1987), country and jazz music (Peterson, 1997; Phillips and Owens, 2004) as well as the codes that mark…”
Jacks of All Trades and Masters of None: Audiences' Reactions to Spanning Genres in Feature Film Production (2006, background): “In recent years, however, a number of empirical studies have focused on how audiences’ perceptions and reactions discipline producers (Zuckerman, 1999; Zuckerman and Kim, 2003; Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000; Rao, Monin, and Durand, 2003, 2005; Dobrev, Ozdemir, and Teo, 2005).”
Forage for Thought: Mobilizing Codes in the Movement for Grass-fed Meat and Dairy Products (2008, neutral): “Though a few studies have theorized about early-stage processes of variation on the production side (Carroll and Swaminathan, 2000), empirical analyses have tended to focus on selection processes among already existing alternatives.”
The Contentiousness of Markets: Politics, Social Movements, and Institutional Change in Markets (2010, background): “Generalists " shift to the market " s center opens space at the periphery of the market for anti-mass production, specialist organizations, as, for example, when microbreweries emerged in response to the increasing concentration of mass beer producers (Carroll & Swaminathan 2000).”
