In this research we investigate how magnitude and direction of resource flows between a firm and its alliance portfolio as well as the complementary nature of resources affect firm performance. Building on the resource dependence theory, we develop and test arguments on a sample of 59 firms in...

This article uses spectral graph partitioning to advance strategic management research, and focuses on the study of complex systems that contain strongly connected components with component interactions that are weighted and directed. The spectral graph partitioning method complements existing...

This study empirically examines the impact of firms’ pursuing multiple generic strategies,namely, Porter’s low-cost and focus strategies. We conceptualize pursuing cost efficiencyadvantage as low-cost strategy and restraining rivalry through horizontal differentiation as focusstrategy....

Using an organization design lens, we explore how key characteristics of both task systems and their associated resources may benefit firms. We unpack task system interdependencies by studying the interaction of decentralization and complexity, examining resource fungibility and resource slack,...
