Determinants of international activity: evidence from the chemical processing industry
Full text linkThis paper empirically investigates two important determinants of international activity through wholly owned operations,
joint-ventures and technology licensing, namely country risk and intellectual property rights (IPRs) protection. Using a comprehensive
database on investments in chemical plants during the period 1981–1996, we show that higher levels of country risk are
associated with less activity into recipient economies. The analysis also suggests that international activity with smaller resource
commitment tends to be preferred in countries with higher levels of risk, and that multinational investment is more responsive
to changes in risk conditions than indigenous investment. After controlling for several country characteristics, we do not fin
IPRs protection playing a significan role in fostering international activity or conditioning its mode.I gratefully acknowledge financia support from

The licensing dilemma: understanding the determinants of the rate of technology licensing
Full text linkThe licensing of technology entails a trade-off: licensing payments net of transaction costs (revenue effect) must be balanced against the lower price-cost margin and/or reduced market share implied by increased competition (profit dissipation effect) from the licensee. We argue that the presence of multiple technology holders, which compete in the market for technology, changes such a trade-off and triggers more aggressive licensing behavior. To test our theory, we analyze technology licensing by large chemical firms during the period 1986-96 for 107 chemical products. We find that the rate of technology licensing displays an inverted U-shaped relationship with the number of potential technology suppliers and is negatively related to the licensor's market share and to the degree of technology-specific product differentiation.Publicad

Product strategies and survival in schumpeterian environments: evidence from the us security software industry
Full text linkThis paper seeks to explore the drivers of survival in environments characterized by high rates of entry and exit, fragmented market shares, rapid pace of product innovation and proliferation of young ventures. The paper aims to underscore the role played by post-entry product strategies, along with their interaction, after carefully controlling for `at entry' factors and demographic conditions. Based on a population of 270 firms that entered the US security software industry between 1989 and 1998, we find evidence that surviving entities are those that are more aggressive in the adoption of versioning and portfolio broadening strategies. In particular, focusing on any one of these two strategies leads to a higher probability of survival as opposed to adopting a mixed strategy.Publicad
