• Allocation of inventive effort in complex product systems AI翻译

  摘要：This paper examines the allocation of inventive effort in complex product systems. I argue that complex product systems, e.g., personal computers (PCs), are distinguished by junctional interaction among several components, each guided by a relatively autonomous bundle of technical and economic characteristics. I try to explore whether the dynamics of such interactions between components of complex product systems call help us understand changes in the relative allocation of inventive effort. I...
• Network structure and innovation: The leveraging of a dual network as a distinctive relational capability AI翻译

  摘要：This paper employs comparative longitudinal case study research to investigate why and how strong dyadic interfirm ties and two alternative network architectures (a 'strong ties network' and a dual network') impact the innovative capability of the lead firm in an alliance network. I answer these intrinsically cross-level research questions by examining how three design-intensive furnishings manufacturers managed their networks of joint, design alliances with consulting industrial design firms ...

  摘要：Transaction cost economics (TCE) has guided a variety of research on governance in the strategic management literature. An important question arises, however, as to whether the TCE framework is equally appropriate for all types of firms in all business settings. In this paper, we argue that TCE is not and suggest that firms with high market power may be able to lower transaction costs under high asset specificity and uncertainty in nonintegrated distribution channels, avoiding the need to util...
• Does peripheral knowledge complement control? An empirical test in technology outsourcing alliances AI翻译
  作者：Tiwana, Amrit; Keil, Mark

  摘要：While the normative logic for forming technology outsourcing alliances is that such alliances allow outsourcing firms to specialize deeper in their domain in of core competence without being distracted by noncore activities, recent empirical studies have reported the puzzling phenomenon of some firms continuing to invest in R&D in domains that are fully outsourced to specialized alliance partners. An underlying-and widely made-assertion that can potentially reconcile this contradiction is that...
• Modeling service alliances: An exploratory investigation of spillover effects in service partnerships AI翻译

  摘要：The objective of the current study is to provide a preliminary look at the process by which consumers evaluate alliances between service providers. Specifically, the study demonstrates how the service quality of one partner can impact, or 'spill over' onto, consumers' evaluations of their transactions with a second partner, and how the performances of partners can have differing, effects on customers' intentions to reuse a service partnership. The study tests hypotheses related to the quality,...
