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
A Research Agenda for Global Stakeholder Strategy
Full text linkThe purpose of this article is to provide a framework into which we can integrate global
strategy with stakeholder theory. Our aim is to create the basis for a research agenda that deals
specifically with issues that are unique to global strategy and to use this perspective to
demonstrate the insights that may arise for core stakeholder theory through the pursuit of such
an agenda. We argue that a global perspective implies not only the management of stakehold-
ers in various locations across the globe, but also the management of the rising phenomenon
of multinationals and other organizations as truly global stakeholders. We argue that global
stakeholder management involves a range of issues that are not yet fully considered either in
the field of global strategy or the field of stakeholder theory. For example, drawing on recent
research that emphasizes stakeholder claims as arising from rules of law, global strategy can
involve selectively exposing the corporation across jurisdictions to particular stakeholders.

Do we really understand a research topic? finding answers through metaanalyses
No full textMeta-analysis is one of a number of scientific approaches for accumulating knowledge in a research domain. It provides a quantitative synthesis of a literature using various statistical instruments. This chapter introduces the main points underlying meta-analytic methodology by discussing its merits when compared to a conventional literature review and covers the fundamental approaches used when conducting a meta-analysis. Criticism of meta-analysis is briefly discussed in the context of the major issues facing meta-analysis in international business.

Revisiting James March (1991): Whither Exploration and Exploitation
Full text linkWe revisit March’s seminal 1991 article, “Exploration and exploitation in organizational learning”, and analyze the impact it has had on scholarly thinking, providing a comprehensive and structured review of the extensive and diverse research inspired by this publication. We show that although this influence has changed significantly over the years, there are still unexplored opportunities left by this seminal work. Our approach enables us to identify promising directions for future research that reinforce the themes anchored in March’s article. In particular, we call for reconnecting current research to the behavioral roots of this article and uncovering the microfoundations of exploration and exploitation. Our analysis further identifies opportunities for integrating this framework with resource-based theories and considering how exploration and exploitation can be sourced and integrated within and across organizational boundaries. Finally, our analysis reveals prospects for extending the notions of exploration and exploitation to new domains, but we caution that such domains should be clearly delineated. We conclude with a call for further research on the antecedents of exploration and exploitation and for studying their underexplored dimensions
