摘要：Despite the growing awareness of the importance of researching core strategic resources and activities, the work that has been. done to date has largely taken the form of anecdotal reports and case study analysis. We have yet to see large-sample studies demonstrating how organizational elements, independently, complementarily and interactively, may or may, not enhance the organization's performance. Moreover, little attention has been given to researching this topic in public sector organizati...

摘要：While agency theory claims managerial self-interest creates a diversification discount, strategic theory explains that firms with certain kinds of resources should diversify. Longitudinal data oil 227 firms that diversify between 1980 and 1992 reveal that the sample firms invest less in R&D and have greater breadth of technology (based on patent citations) than their industry peers prior to the diversification event. Also, acquiring firms may appear to have lower performance because of account...

摘要：This paper studies the influcence of external knowledge on innovation in subsidiaries of multi-national firms. The focus on subsidiaries is especially interesting since they are simultaneously embedded in two knowledge contexts: (a) the internal multinational corporation (MNC) comprised of the headquarters and other subsidiaries; and (b) an external environment of regional or host country firms. We develop hypotheses to suggest that the extent of influences of these contexts on subsidiary tech...

摘要：Research on R&D location choice by MNCs has focused largely on host country factor endowments and overlooked the role that the potential to capture and utilize knowledge spillovers from competitors may also play in determining such choices. Using a large-scale panel database of the foreign subsidiaries of U.S.-based MNCs in above-average R&D-intensive industries, we examine the extent to which external spillover opportunities as well as internal firm-specific capabilities to utilize such knowl...

摘要：A growing body of empirical literature supports key assertions of the resource-based view. However, most of this work examines the impact of firm-specific resources on the overall performance of a firm. In this paper it is argued that, in some circumstances, adopting the effectiveness of business processes as a dependent variable may be more appropriate than adopting overall firm performance as a dependent variable. This idea is tested by examining the determinants of the effectiveness of the ...

摘要：Transaction cost economics (TCE) is one of the leading perspectives in management and organizational studies, yet debate continues regarding its empirical support. In this paper, we take stock of the large body of extant research and provide a systematic assessment of empirical evidence. In all, 308 statistical tests from 63 articles, selected according to a set of clear criteria, were examined across various dimensions. We assess not only the level of empirical support for the theory, but als...
