“…Further, relational embeddedness, which manifests strong social ties and relationship commitment from buyers and sellers, positively influences the trustworthiness of e-marketplace service providers. This finding reflects the views of Morgan and Hunt (1994) and Uzzi and Lancaster (2003), who stated that strong social ties tend to help develop trust among exchange parties. Thus, buyers and sellers should consider strengthening social relationships with their business partners to increase e-marketplace adoption and use.…”

“…Superior relationship performance occurs when the trading parties develop strong business ties and long-term cooperative relationships. Social embeddedness plays a major role in achieving supernormal relationships: Uzzi and Lancaster (2003) suggested that exchange parties in social relationship tend to engage in long-term collaboration. Dayasindhu (2002) considered strong relational ties as essential for trading partners to coordinate economic activities.…”

“…Trust is developed when the system functions fulfill the expectations of the users (Lin, 2006). Furthermore, social attachment is important in holding business interactions, and consequently contributes to the development of trust (Uzzi & Lancaster, 2003). Based on TAM, trust theory, and relational embeddedness, this study investigates the impact of perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and relational embeddedness on trust.…”

“…The strong social ties lead to the construction of consensus behaviors among trading parties and foster a sense of affiliation among the exchange parties (Dayasindhu, 2002;Morgan & Hunt, 1994). Because the relational embeddedness forms an informal governance mechanism, building and reinforcing relational embeddedness becomes important in terms of moderating uncertainties or opportunism and lowering transaction costs (Uzzi & Lancaster, 2003).…”

“…In the context of financial services, exploration innovations are related to developing new products and services, such as fundamentally new structures of loan, mortgage, insurance, credit/debit cards (Uzzi and Lancaster, 2003;Jansen et al, 2009); whereas exploitative innovations are usually related to aggressive lending, shopping the market and increasing efficiency (Uzzi and Lancaster, 2003).

This paper fills theoretical gaps in the scholarly discourse of organisational ambidexterity (OA) by focusing on the concepts of balanced dimension (BD) and combined dimension (CD) of OA. Through a qualitative cross‐comparative case study method it investigates BD/CD at corporate level within the dynamic and competitive UK financial services sector. The study brings greater clarity on the construct of OA and its use in real practice. It shows that forms of OA, CD and BD, are influenced by the firm's strategic choice in specific market segments. Niche players pursuing focused differentiation attain a CD, whereas large players pursuing cost leadership attain a BD of ambidexterity. Exploitation‐exploration efforts are triggered by sets of firm's contingencies that are distinctive to each dimension. Resource flexibility moderates the attainment of desirable ambidexterity's dimensions in contexts of munificent resources. At the corporate level, managers’ long tenure facilitates OA. Theoretical and practical implications are offered.

Do Rankings Matter? The Effects of U.S. News & World Report Rankings on the Admissions Process of Law Schools

In recent years, there has been a tremendous proliferation of quantitative evaluative social measures in the field of law as well as society generally. One of these measures, the U.S. News & World Report rankings of law schools, has become an almost obsessive concern of the law school community, generating a great deal of speculation about the effects of these rankings on legal education. However, there has been no attempt to systematically ascertain what, if any, effects these rankings have on the decisionmaking of students and schools in the admission process. This article documents some of these effects by conceptualizing rankings as a signal of law school quality, investigating (1) whether students and schools use this signal to make decisions about where to apply and whom to admit, and (2) whether the creation of this signal distorts the phenomenon—law school quality—that it purports to measure. Using data for U.S. law schools from 1996 to 2003, we find that schools' rankings have significant effects on both the decisions of prospective students and the decisions schools make in the admissions process. In addition, we present evidence that the rankings can become a self‐fulfilling prophecy for some schools, as the effects of rank described above alter the profile of their student bodies, affecting their future rank. Cumulatively, these findings suggest that the rankings help create rather than simply reflect differences among law schools through the magnification of the small, and statistically random, distinctions produced by the measurement apparatus.
