摘要：The impact of strategies used to appropriate innovation rents on firm performance is analyzed using a sample of U.S. public manufacturing firms. Stronger appropriability at the firm level, achieved through patent protection or the ownership of specialized complementary assets, leads to superior economic performance, as measured by the stock market valuation of a firm's R&D assets. Among commonly used 'nonconventional' patent strategies, preemptive patenting allows imcumbents to strengthen thei...

摘要：Causation is still poorly understood in strategy research, and confusion prevails around key concepts such as competitive advantage. In this paper, we define epistemological conditions that help dispel some of this confusion and provide a basis for more dei;eloped approaches. In particular, we argue that a counterfactual approach-one that builds on a systematic analysis of 'what-if' questions-can advance our understanding of key causal mechanisms in strategy research. We offer two concrete met...

摘要：An increased focus on turbulent environments has led to a growing interest among researchers in the concept of dynamic capabilities. In this study, we approach dynamic capabilities in a framework of two complementary processes. On one hand, firms can build upon existing capabilities in products and markets in which they have experienced recent success; on the other hand, they call also intentionally focus on other products and markets in which the), seek to build capabilities to address their ...

摘要：Formal and relational governance mechanisms are used in strategic alliances to coordinate resources and mitigate the risk of opportunistic behavior. While recent work has shown that these approaches are not mutually exclusive, we understand little about when one approach is superior to the other. Using data on the governance choices and subsequent performance of alliances in the German telecommunications industry, we find that the optimal configuration of formal and relational governance mecha...

摘要：This study investigates the value of the strategic flexibility provided by firms international investments during an economic crisis, defined here as an unanticipated significant downturn in the economy. To avoid below-par performance, firms need to adapt quickly to this significant change in their environment, making real options very valuable to them. Although firms' international investments can potentially provide, such flexibility, this issue has not been empirically examined in a context...

摘要：The study investigates strategic consistency in competitive behavior. We construct a logically consistent evolutionary model, providing a causal argument to link a level of strategic consistency to long-term organizational survival. According to our results, strategic consistency seems to be related to both organizational survival and the most efficient change over time concerning the key elements of a firm's strategy. One of the benefits of the model is that some of the components and process...

摘要：This study focuses explicitly on the methodological implications of the endogenous theory of governance as applied to firm performance. In particular, if firms choose their governance structures as Part of a constrained performance maximization process, then application of all appropriate empirical methodology should reveal statistical evidence of such behavior In this study we take advantage of the endogenous switching regression model framework to determine whether such predicted optimizing ...

摘要：Outsourcing plays all important role for firms adopting new technologies. Although outsourcing provides access to a new, technology, it does not guarantee that a firm call subsequently integrate the technology with existing business processes and leverage it in the marketplace. This distinction, however, has rarely been made in the literature. In the context of business process enhancing technologies, this study builds oil the resource-based and knowledge-based views to study the impact of out...

摘要：A new model of managerial problem formulation is introduced and developed to answer the question: 'What kinds of problems do strategic managers engage in solving and why?' The article proposes that a key decision metric for choosing among alternative problem statements is the computational complexity of the solution algorithm of alternative statements. Managerial problem statements are grouped into two classes on the basis of their computational complexity: P-type problems (canonically easy on...

摘要：Most traditional research on mergers and acquisitions tends to focus on the role of similarity in explaining acquisition performance. While scholars have recently begun to examine acquisition complementarity, there is still little evidence concerning how complementarity influences acquisition performance. Further, previous research has not drawn the connections between related contexts and the potential benefits from complementarity. In this article, we move the study of acquisition complement...
