This paper examines the extent to which resources in a firm's network and cluster influence its ability to innovate and whether firms differ in their ability to leverage network and cluster resources. Using data from the U.S. semiconductor industry, we find that technological resources in a...

We develop a conceptual model and explain how a firm's cluster and network factors independently and jointly influence innovation catalysts and barriers and in turn enhance the firm's likelihood of generating technological innovations. Cluster competitive intensity and social interaction...

We examine the paradox of capabilities: although portfolio resources contribute to innovation success, and technologically capable firms have the ability to gain more such resources, firms' 'competency traps' and the tension between value creation and value protection reduce benefits from...

The authors examine how co-opetition - simultaneous cooperation and competition - affects firms' competitive behavior, proposing that differential structural positions among firms in a co-opetitive network reflect resource asymmetries among them and that such asymmetries lead to differences in...

This paper examines the extent to which resources in a firm's network and cluster influence its ability to innovate and whether firms differ in their ability to leverage network and cluster resources. Using data from the U.S. semiconductor industry, we find that technological resources in a...

We investigate whether clusters and networks impact differently a firm's ability to generate technological innovations in a longitudinal study of US based semiconductor firms. We further examine whether resource profiles of firms explains their differential ability to benefit from the network...

Recent meta-analytic treatments of the Strategic Human Resource Management literature suggest a relationship between the adoption of âhigh-commitmentâ HR practices and organization level performance outcomes (Combs, Lui, Hall & Ketchen, 2006). However, there is considerable variability in the...

This dissertation is motivated by an overarching research question: How do firms leverage external resources residing in their ego network (portfolio of alliances) and their clusters in order to innovate in a sustained manner? Research suggests that firms often struggle and falter in their...

This dissertation investigates the factors that influence the learning of subsidiaries from their local environment and the sequential knowledge outflow from the subsidiaries. Scholars have recognized the ability to learn from diverse local environments as a critical source of competitive...

Research in the international management literature has traditionally studied internationalization processes from an exploitation perspective. This exploitation-focused argument demonstrates an incremental process of international expansion with the internationalization of mature multinational...
