讲座摘要：
The burgeoning of ibusiness firms in the modern digital economy challenges the received internationalization theory. Given that ibusinesses such as social networking sites create value by providing a digital platform for users to interact with one another, we employ a user-network perspective and externalization logic, suggesting that ibusinesses’ internationalization process depends critically on users’ collective interactions, instead of being solely driven by firms’ market commitments, as noted by the Uppsala model. However, ibusinesses may suffer from liabilities of outsidership due to the boundedness of international network effects. Drawing on social network theory, we demonstrate that such liabilities can be mitigated by first diffusing the ibusiness platform in countries with higher clout. Our analysis using a unique dataset of mobile ibusiness platforms finds empirical support for the hypotheses. We discuss theoretical implications for the network approach of the Uppsala model in the digital era.

His research focuses on understanding how social structures, be they status, power, network, and institutional structures, affect organization, group, and individual behaviors and outcomes. He looks at these structural effects through a cognitive lens, and situates his empirical investigation in various contexts (e.g., U.S. collegiate sports, U.S. commercial banking, the global information technology industry, corporate boards, work teams). His research has appeared in such outlets as Academy of Management Journal, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, Academy of Management Discoveries, and Human Relations. He sits on the editorial board of Administrative Science Quarterly and Journal of Management.

讲座摘要：
Social norms like honesty and fairness play a key role in social and economic life. Without such norms, promises are not kept, contracts are not enforced, and taxes remain unpaid. Despite this importance, it is largely unknown which personal and situational factors determine our ability to comply with social norms. Here I present brain stimulation studies identifying brain processes that are biological prerequisites for social norm compliance. These studies show that the human brain contains at least two mechanisms that are necessary for fair and honest behavior. These mechanisms either enhance the sensitivity to social incentives for norm-consistent behavior or they increase the weight of moral motives associated with norm-compliant actions. The properties of these brain mechanisms have interesting implications for the possibilities and limits of interventions designed to enhance norm-compliant behavior.
