Abstract
In the behavioral theory of the firm literature, the mechanism of problemistic search predicts that organizational failures foster change. However, real-world observations that failures fail to serve as a positive trigger in many firms run counter to this general view. This study investigates how firms learning from their failures can be misdirected from institutional concerns. To examine this, I classified performance feedback from multiple products of firms into two categories: categorical feedback from exploitation and exploration. When failures are attributed to executives prior engagement in exploration?deviation from the institutionalized norm of doing business, executives risk more severe punishment from shareholders and board members, and thus show more sensitive reaction by changing the investment portfolio. I examine this phenomenon based on new product development investments of film producer organizations in the United States from 2000 to 2012. My result of a Tobit panel analysis showed that explorative categorical feedback more significantly moderated the effects of firm-level feedback on firms investments, supporting my hypothesis. Failures in exploration make managers less inclined to invest in subsequent exploration, implying that institutional illegitimacy imposed discriminately on exploratory failures indeed misdirects firms learning from failures.
