The corporate headquarters in organization design theory: an organizational economics perspective
Full text linkThe corporate headquarters (CHQ) is an important part of the organization of large firms; yet, it is neglected in organization design theory. In this brief essay, I argue thatwe need a better understanding of the CHQ to further our understanding of the link between the top-management team and the rest of the organization, and to improveour understanding of the costs and benefits of hierarchical organization in general. Ioutline a number of organizational economics ideas that may help addressing these challenges

Toward an organizational economics of heterogeneous capabilities
No full textThe notion of “capability” has long been influential in management research as an approach to address firm-level heterogeneity and heterogeneity in competitive outcomes.

Fifteen years of research on business model innovation : how far have we come, and where should we go?
Full text linkOver the last 15 years, business model innovation (BMI) has gained an increasing amount of attention in management research and among practitioners. The emerging BMI literature addresses an important phenomenon but lacks theoretical underpinning, and empirical inquiry is not cumulative. Thus, a concerted research effort seems warranted. Accordingly, we take stock of the extant literature on BMI. We identify and analyze 150 peer-reviewed scholarly articles on BMI published between 2000 and 2015. We provide the first comprehensive systematic review of the BMI literature, include a critical assessment of these research efforts, and offer suggestions for future research. We argue that the literature faces problems with respect to construct clarity and has gaps with respect to the identification of antecedent conditions, contingencies, and outcomes. We identify important avenues for future research and show how the complexity theory, innovation, and other streams of literature can help overcome many of the gaps in the BMI literature
