PATH-DEPENDENT AND PATH-BREAKING CHANGE: RECONFIGURING BUSINESS RESOURCES FOLLOWING ACQUISITIONS IN THE U.S. MEDICAL SECTOR, 1978–1995 SAMINA KARIM and WILL MITCHELL*
This paper studies how firms use acquisitions to achieve long-term business reconfiguration. We base the study in a routine-based perspective on business dynamics. We develop and test hypotheses concerning the relative extent of change by acquiring and non-acquiring businesses, focusing on product line addition, retention, and deletion as forms of changing resources. We develop and test hypothe...
متن کاملPath Creation, Path Dependence and Breaking Away from the Path: Re-Examining the Case of Nokia
The explanation of how and why firms succeed or fail is a recurrent research challenge. This is particularly important in the context of technological innovations. We focus on the role of historical events and decisions in explaining such success and failure. Using a case study of Nokia, we develop and extend a multi-layer path dependence framework. We identify four layers of path dependence: t...
متن کاملPath Following and Velocity Optimizing for an Omnidirectional Mobile Robot
In this paper, the path following controller of an omnidirectional mobile robot (OMR) has been extended in such a way that the forward velocity has been optimized and the actuator velocity constraints have been taken into account. Both have been attained through the proposed model predictive control (MPC) framework. The forward velocity has been included into the objective function, while the a...
متن کاملBackward and forward path following control of a wheeled robot
A wheeled mobile robot is one of the most important types of mobile robots. A subcategory of these robots is wheeled robots towing trailer(s). Motion control problem, especially in backward motion is one of the challenging research topics in this field. In this article, a control algorithm for path-following problem of a tractor-trailer system is provided, which at the same time provides the ab...
متن کاملMain-path analysis and path-dependent transitions
With the program HistCiteTM it is possible to generate and visualize the most relevant papers in a set of documents retrieved from the Science Citation Index. Historical reconstructions of scientific developments can be represented chronologically as developments in networks of citation relations extracted from scientific literature. This study aims to go beyond the historical reconstruction of...
