ABSTRACT

Human beings develop some personal beliefs to cope with the changing environment. We argue that, facing great turbulence and uncertainty, many Chinese executives have developed a belief that fate imposes boundaries within which personal actions can shape outcomes. Labelled as negotiable fate, it enables Chinese executives effectively navigate dynamic and changing environments by acknowledging those aspects that are uncontrollable. In this talk, how negotiable fate is conceptualized and theorized will be discussed, and empirical evidence for its functioning in Chinese business operations and firm innovation will be provided and discussed.
