We extend the concept of first mover advantage to the context of high-technology industries with multiple product generations, and propose that the notion of first mover advantage needs to be viewed not only through a dynamic lens, but also in conjunction with technological capability. Our main...

In this research, we seek to advance the understanding of heterogeneity in entrant survival rates. We suggest that the innovative environment at the time of entry can explain the variation in likelihood of survival for entrants. We conceptualize innovative environment in terms of two dimensions:...

This paper examines the role of knowledge as a driver of an organization's formation, and as a subsequent source of its competitive advantage. We investigate the parent-progeny knowledge transfer relationship, and the impact of this congenital learning on the evolution and performance of a...

Questioning the underlying assumptions of the process of creative destruction, we conceptualize an alternative process of creative construction that may characterize the dynamics between entrants and incumbents. We discuss the underlying mechanism of knowledge spillover strategic...

Technological innovation, knowledge diffusion and employee entrepreneurship and mobility are closely related phenomena. Multiple literature streams in strategy, entrepreneurship and technology management focus on explaining them. However, relatively little is known about the micro-level...

This paper investigates the source of heterogeneity in the distribution of alliance capabilities among firms, and relates it to business processes that enable firms to generate collaborative value. Complementing the existing view of dyadic value creation, and the emerging experience and...

‘Job hopping’ by engineers and scientists is widely heralded as an important channel for knowledge spillovers within industries. Far less is known, however, about the actions firms take to reduce the outward flow of knowledge through markets for skilled labor. This study investigates the...
