Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Steven W. Floyd sadly passed away in October 2022. This essay is written in memory of him. Our intent is to celebrate Steve’s lasting legacy, which includes not just his track record as a distinguished scholar in the field of strategic management but also his unselfish citizenship in the academic community. During his career, Steve mentored and supported numerous junior faculty and doctoral students, served as an editor of several journals, and provided institutional leadership both at the Schools where he worked and within the field’s professional societies. We are honored to have been asked to write this essay as individuals who worked with Steve and knew him as a colleague and friend.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
