No single capability-sourcing route dominates under all conditions; the headline results depend on the corresponding model mechanisms.
Mechanism-knockout experiments that switch acquisition friction, absorption, open-weight cost reductions, and substitution on or off.
high mixed Crossing into AI: When Incumbents Build, Partner, Acquire, A... Dominance of sourcing routes across counterfactual conditions
Waiting is relatively safe for a firm whose existing product cannot be replaced by the emerging technology, but it causes substantial value loss for a firm whose product is directly substitutable by that technology.
Agent-based model with demand-side substitution eroding the legacy revenue of non-adapters according to product exposure; stated as Proposition P4.
high mixed Crossing into AI: When Incumbents Build, Partner, Acquire, A... Incumbent firm value after waiting
A one-time reduction in the cost of building generative-AI capability revives the build route primarily before the leading design has stabilized; after the dominant design is established, the effect is substantially weaker.
Agent-based model experiment varying the timing of an open-weight-style reduction in build costs relative to dominant-design formation; stated as Proposition P3.
high mixed Crossing into AI: When Incumbents Build, Partner, Acquire, A... Prevalence of the build route
The route by which incumbents enter generative AI depends on contractibility: firms tend to partner when the capability can be rented through an API and tend to absorb when the capability is too tacit to rent.
History-friendly agent-based simulation of incumbent sourcing choices across build, partner, acquire, absorb, and wait routes; stated as Proposition P1 and reported as a headline finding.
high mixed Crossing into AI: When Incumbents Build, Partner, Acquire, A... Dominant capability-sourcing route across firms
Employee resistance to AI adoption is driven by fears of job displacement and skill obsolescence, and the paper argues that training programmes and transparent change management can help overcome this resistance.

Visibility-enabled metrics such as typing activity, response times, and screen time may improve measurement precision while also encouraging gaming and performative labor that inflate measured productivity without corresponding improvements in output quality.
Conceptual implication for AI economics and productivity measurement; the paper does not report a causal test or quantify the gap between measured productivity and output quality.
high mixed The Digital Visibility‐Belonging Paradox: Digital Cohesion a... Measured productivity and substantive output quality
Digital visibility has dual and divergent effects: it can increase felt recognition and relational connection while also creating performative pressures that weaken authentic belonging.
Conceptual theorization grounded in relational cohesion theory and sociomaterial perspectives; supported by literature synthesis rather than primary empirical data.
high mixed The Digital Visibility‐Belonging Paradox: Digital Cohesion a... Authentic belonging and felt recognition

Incorporating constitutive dynamics into matching theory implies that worker preferences and suitability may be endogenous and shaped by organizational experience rather than fully stable and observable in advance.
Theoretical implication for labor-market matching and market-design models; no equilibrium model or empirical estimate is presented.
high mixed The two ontologies of person–organization fit. Endogeneity of preferences and suitability in labor-market matching
Correspondence-based fit research is most compatible with surveys, alignment metrics, dyadic or market-matching measures, and causal estimation, while constitutive-fit research is more compatible with qualitative methods, longitudinal process tracing, and analysis of interpretation and affect.
Methodological implications derived from the distinct epistemological assumptions of the two ontologies.
high mixed The two ontologies of person–organization fit. Methodological fit between research design and ontology
The two ontologies imply different process explanations for organizational outcomes: correspondence models emphasize trait alignment leading to outcomes such as satisfaction and retention, whereas constitutive models emphasize interpretive work leading to meaningfulness and adjustment.
The article develops separate processual explanations for each ontology; the claim is conceptual rather than an estimate from observed data.
high mixed The two ontologies of person–organization fit. Satisfaction, retention, meaningfulness, and adjustment
Person–organization fit research rests on two distinct ontologies: a correspondence ontology that treats fit as alignment between person and organization attributes, and a constitutive ontology that treats fit as an enacted and interpretive accomplishment.
Conceptual and theoretical synthesis distinguishing two underlying ontologies; no new empirical data are reported.

In settings where strategic and operational authority are fused, the decision to delegate tasks to AI or retain human discretion is endogenous to the GM's locus of authority.
Conceptual implication applying the locational-assumption finding to AI task allocation; it is not directly tested with AI deployment data.
high mixed EXPRESS: A Review of Upper Echelons Theory in Hospitality: G... Allocation of tasks between human managers and AI systems
AI adoption and performance in hospitality-like settings should be expected to vary across managers because blended strategic-operational roles, managerial adaptability, leadership style, and governance context can produce heterogeneous implementation choices and returns.
Conceptual implication derived from the hospitality GM framework; no direct AI adoption experiment or quantified treatment-effect estimate is reported.

high mixed EXPRESS: A Review of Upper Echelons Theory in Hospitality: G... Relationship between GM choices, governance context, and organizational outcomes
Static models linking stable managerial traits to stable decisions are insufficient because the effects of GM characteristics depend on dynamic competence, situational expression of values, leadership adaptability, and recognition of gendered traits.
Thematic synthesis of studies on GM characteristics and leadership styles, used to qualify the dispositional assumption.
high mixed EXPRESS: A Review of Upper Echelons Theory in Hospitality: G... Managerial decision-making and leadership effectiveness
In hospitality, general managers often combine strategic and operational authority, so the relationship between leader characteristics and organizational outcomes is conditional on the GM's blended role.

high mixed EXPRESS: A Review of Upper Echelons Theory in Hospitality: G... Translation of GM characteristics into organizational outcomes

Highly skilled workers who complement AI are likely to receive a skill premium, whereas medium-skilled workers displaced by AI may experience stagnant or declining incomes if they do not successfully retrain.
The paper explains the claim through skill scarcity, complementarity, and displacement mechanisms and refers to micro-level studies and an IMF working paper, but reports no original estimates.
high mixed The Structural Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on the Lab... Wages and income trajectories by skill group
AI contributes to employment polarization by increasing the relative demand for high-skilled and low-skilled labor while reducing demand for medium-skilled labor.
The paper provides a conceptual task-based explanation: AI is relatively advantaged in routine cognitive and physical tasks, while non-routine abstract and manual tasks remain more dependent on human labor; it cites prior empirical research.
high mixed The Structural Impacts of Artificial Intelligence on the Lab... Employment and labor demand by skill level
