Title 1：The origins of time compression diseconomies: Navigating the publication process 

Title 2：The publication journey with Strategic Management Journal

Title 3：Insights from an editor of Organization Science

ABSTRACT：

I will present a recent paper titled, “ The origins of time compression diseconomies”, co-authored with Kannan Srikanth and Mihaela Stan, followed by an overview of the paper’s journey through the review process with Strategic Management Journal. Lastly, I will share some information about Organization Science that may be useful to submitting authors.

The SMJ paper addresses is the issue of time compression diseconomies, which is an important component in the argument for sustainable competitive advantage. That capability development is subject to time compression diseconomies (TCD) is well-known in the strategy literature. However, so far, there is limited attention paid to its origins, that is, why it exists, and demonstrating it empirically. In the con-text of fertility clinics in the United Kingdom, we show that faster experience accumulation is associated with lower success rates; that is, time compression in experience accumulation results in shallower learning curves. We also show that TCD is exacerbated for clinics that mainly treat complex cases and is mitigated for clinics that employ an integrator to coordinate across the different specialist functions involved in the treatment process. We propose differential learning rates as the mechanism that underlies TCD, and develop implications for firm capabilities and sources of competitive advantage.
