Lopsided Schumpeterian Competition and the Superstar Firm Phenomenon
Full text linkIn many industries worldwide, gains from technological innovation have increasingly accrued only to the largest and most resource-endowed companies, while most companies lag in implementation of vital new technologies. As a result, the phenomenon of so-called “superstar” firms that outdistance industry rivals has become a major topic in technology management.https://dc.suffolk.edu/ciclseries/1000/thumbnail.jp

Clinician Heal Thyself: Turning the Mirror Inward to Dismantle the Barriers of Psychotherapy
Full text linkThe practice of psychotherapy developed in the United States within and in response to its sociopolitical context. As such it has always been unable to live up to its stated value of being accessible and effective for all people who are willing to seek and accept help. We explore the practice of psychotherapy within the larger field of Psychology and its ongoing commitment to capitalism and the social hierarchy at its center. We consider how Psychology’s intentional avoidance of class identity in the therapy space has allowed the field to justify and maintain this hierarchy while simultaneously ignoring its existence. We detail the ways in which Psychology packaged itself as a valuable tool for capitalism in a rapidly urbanizing and developing United States and explore our country’s historic use of class to create division between those on the lower levels of the social hierarchy in a way that allows power and privilege to remain concentrated at the top.
This study sought to address the gap our field of psychology has intentionally ignored by exploring class identity and its influence on distress, attitudes toward therapy, and willingness to help-seek. First, we compared attitudes of working- and middle-class survey respondents regarding their sense of life satisfaction, stability, and expectations for the future to operationalize a definition of class. Next, we used this working definition to examine the impact of class identity on distress, attitudes toward therapy, and willingness to help-seek by comparing survey responses from middle- and working-class respondents. We then used semi-structured interviews to contextualize survey responses and identify overarching themes about attitudes toward therapy both within and across class status. Finally, we offer a model of critical narrative humility as a framework for clinicians interested in decolonizing their own practice and offer suggestions for use of this framework to extend individual dismantling to a systems level

Sequences of Learning Types for Organizational Ambidexterity
Full text linkAmbidexterity involves strategies for effectively managing the inherent tensions between short-term stability and long-term investments, a challenge known as the exploitation-exploration paradox. Despite the acknowledged importance of learning in the context of ambidexterity, there is a limited understanding of how various forms of organizational learning are employed over time in projects focused on either exploitation or exploration. This gap in knowledge is significant because the timing and sources of knowledge acquisition that support innovation can significantly impact the success of an ambidextrous approach. In essence, ambidexterity not only requires balancing the conflicting demands of exploitation and exploration but also necessitates the integration of both internal and external knowledge sources.https://dc.suffolk.edu/ciclseries/1002/thumbnail.jp

Threatening National Security or Bridging the Digital Divide? A Case Study of Huawei’s Expansion in Brazil
Full text linkChina’s digital footprint has been expanding rapidly in Latin America in the last two decades. Neither the U.S.-China tech war nor the U.S.-led global campaign aimed at Chinese tech firms seemed to be able to reverse the trend. Much of the policy discussion in the western media surrounding China’s digital expansion focuses on the supply side, emphasizing the potential risks of adopting Chinese technologies. Yet there remains scant research on the demand side— namely, how policymakers in developing countries perceive Chinese tech firms and how they maneuver amid the intensifying rivalry between the U.S. and China. Why did Chinese tech firms become key telecommunication equipment providers for Latin America despite geopolitical headwinds? To shed light on the issue, my research examines local stakeholders’ perceptions of Chinese tech firms and their choices between development and national security. Employing a case study of Huawei’s expansion in Brazil, I argue that the lack of political consensus on banning Huawei, the prohibitive costs of replacing Huawei, Brazil’s priority of development over security concerns, and China’s vaccine diplomacy enabled the Chinese tech giant to gain a firm foothold in Brazil. Instead of perceiving Chinese technologies as a security threat, major Brazilian regulators and internet service providers consider Huawei as an opportunity for them to bridge the digital divide.https://dc.suffolk.edu/rifellows/1004/thumbnail.jp
