The importance of internal and external knowledge sourcing and firm performance: A latent class estimation
No full textThis research examines the differential impact of the importance of internally and externally sourced information and knowledge and their relationship to absorptive capacity and firm performance. In addition, this analysis deals directly with the unobservable heterogeneity amongst firms that is generally viewed as the raison d'être for a unique resource-based perspective of organizational performance. Latent class, finite mixture regression models are used that show that a single model relating knowledge sourcing, absorptive capacity and firm performance is inadequate in explaining even a minor portion of the variation which is seen between firms.

New Products and Financial Risk Changes
No full textThe historic focus of new products research has been on the ability of new products to enhance the profitability and competitive position of the innovating firm. In this article, Timothy Devinney shows that there exists an overlooked and potentially significant side effect associated with new product innovations: financial risk changes. He reports that significant financial risk changes occurred in approximately 50% of the new product announcements he examined. The magnitude of these financial risk changes translates into overestimates or underestimates of the firm's cost of capital by 17% to 18% and is strongly and positively related to the size of the firm and the firm's new product innovation activity.</p
Do we really understand a research topic? finding answers through metaanalyses

When CEOs talk strategy, is anyone listening?
No full textCompanies devote endless time communicating strategy to rank-and-file employees—but only a minority take it in, according to new research by Timothy Devinney and colleagues at the University of Technology in Sydney. The researchers asked employees of 20 major Australian corporations with clearly articulated public strategies to identify their employer’s strategy from among six choices. Just 29% answered correctly. The good news: The firms in the sample are all high performers, suggesting that a company can thrive even if employees are clueless about its long-term vision
