Talking inside the corridor or navigating the labyrinth: Market experience and information elaboration in founding teams
研究创始团队成员的市场经验如何通过信息交换和任务冲突影响新创企业绩效，发现深度和广度经验分别导致“走廊交谈”和“迷宫穿越”两种功能失调。
The search for potential markets is crucial for technology ventures. We propose that founding team members’ prior market experiences can be helpful but also dysfunctional because of the way the depth and breadth of these experiences shape information elaboration. Deep and broad market experiences challenge teams with two potential dysfunctions: talking inside the corridor (easy information exchange and low task conflict) and navigating the labyrinth (arduous information exchange and elevated task conflict). Data support that prior market experiences in the founding team affect initial venture performance, mediated by information exchange and task conflict, and moderated by lead founder personality.
