摘要:This paper analyzes differences in the antecedents and performance consequences of domestic and offshore R&D outsourcing. Offshore outsourcing is characterized by larger cognitive distance. We find that absorptive capacity from internal R&D allows for more offshore outsourcing and that offshore outsourcing leads to more positive innovation outcomes, especially product innovation.

Managers more distant from the locus of the shock and managers with stronger e...

We argue that diversification entails significant additional information processing and that this strains top managerial resources. We hypothesize that task-related faultlines within the TMT may...

摘要:The current view of network emergence is predominantly influenced by path-dependent mechanisms where immediately preceding network structures inform current network positions. However, less explored is the ongoing sensitivity of future network positions to the composition and structure of newcomers' first partnerships. Building on the social categorization literature, we develop a model of the ongoing direct and moderating effects of newcomers' first network partnership on their status. We tes...
