Biases in the selection stage of bottom‐up strategy formulation
研究发现，组织内部员工存在内群体偏见，会系统性地低估来自其他子部门的创意，这种偏见阻碍组织适应并降低企业绩效。基于一家大型跨国消费品公司的创新提案数据，评估者更偏爱同部门或同地点的提案，尤其在小型或高地位子部门中更明显。
We propose that the failure to adopt an idea or innovation can arise from an in‐group bias among employees within an organizational subunit that leads the subunit's members to undervalue systematically ideas associated with members of the organization outside their subunit. Such biases in internal selection processes can stymie organizational adaptation and therefore depress the performance of the firm. Analyzing data on innovation proposals inside a large, multinational consumer goods firm, we find that evaluators are biased in favor of ideas submitted by individuals that work in the same division and facility as they do, particularly when they belong to small or high‐status subunits .
