“…Furthermore, the institutional organizational mission weakens the recognition of organizational forgetting. Ojansivu et al (2021) also concluded that firms’ outcomes might vary under the magnitude of institutionalized organizational mission. It inhibits the willingness and motivation of enterprises to break conventions and norms to carry out cross-boundary innovation through organizational forgetting.…”

This study constructs a theoretical model to test and prove that organizational forgetting influences cross-boundary innovation and testifies to the moderating role of Institutionalized organizational mission in the said relationship. Data was collected through a convenient sampling technique from 353 middle and senior managers of entrepreneurial enterprises in China through online and offline modes. Additionally, we used confirmatory factor analysis, multiple regression, and bootstrap analysis to verify hypotheses using Analysis of a moment structures and Statistical Package for the Social Sciences latest versions. The results show that organizational forgetting has a significantly positive impact on cross-boundary innovation and binary knowledge sharing plays a mediating role in the relationship between organizational forgetting and cross-boundary innovation. Moreover, the mediating effect of exploitative knowledge sharing on the relationship between organizational forgetting and cross-boundary innovation is more substantial than exploratory knowledge sharing. This study separates the impact mechanism of exploitative and exploratory knowledge sharing as a mediator unanimously and proves that Institutionalized organizational mission has a significant moderating role in the relationship between organizational forgetting and cross-boundary innovation. This research offers significant implications for Chinese enterprises to bolster cross-boundary innovation to achieve growth.

“…Additionally, organizational forgetting could urge enterprises to train and improve knowledge transfer abilities to enhance cross-boundary innovation. “Establishing the new” in organizational forgetting means the change of enterprises’ knowledge network structure, interaction, and sharing mechanism ( Ojansivu et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Depending on the effectiveness of information flow and communication strategies between network actors, boundary objects may function as a tool for the collective rationalization of a joint task, and/or as an audit trail to establish consistent linkages between past, present, and future events. More importantly, through a process of retrospective modification, boundary objects can expose underlying weaknesses in the team's interrelation processes while also functioning as a heuristic tool for managing and potentially overcoming the knowledge boundaries between the team members (Ojansivu, Kettunen and Alajoutsijärvi, 2021).…”

“…1, let us take a closer look at the business schools' accreditation race (the AACSB "boom" since the late 2000s that has resulted in six out of 10 university-based business schools getting accredited by 2022) and related rhetoric in Finland. When an HEI enters into an accreditation process, its organizational identities and boundaries become defined and explicitly communicated in strategy rhetoric: it is us versus them, and our mission should be distinct from those of others (see Ojansivu et al, 2021). This aspirational, future-driven strategy talk rarely leads to any direct determination of collaborative agreements between HEIs.…”

This paper investigates the emergence and early institutionalization of competition in higher education (HE), specifically in business schools. First, building on key contributions from economics, management studies, sociology, and HE research, we develop propositions on competition in HE and formulate our theoretical framework. Second, we apply this framework to explore competition in Finnish business schools. We argue that business schools constitute an interesting field for studying competition in HE because they are the frontrunners and champions of competition-based views in HE. Our main contribution is a novel explanation of the preconditions, emergence, and early processes of institutionalization that drive HE institutions to compete and collectively produce the observed competitive transformation.
