Technological Capability-accumulation and the Underlying Learning Processes: Analytical Frameworks and Differences between Latecomer Steel Firms

This paper builds analytical frameworks in order to examine the role of key features of the underlying learning processes in influencing inter-firm differences in technological capability-accumulation paths in the latecomer context. This relationship is examined in two of the largest steel firms in Brazil over their lifetimes of 40 and 60 years. These issues have been addressed, individually or...

How Does the Rivalry between Firms Explain the IT Capability Gap, Leanness, and Performance of Firms?

What is the role of IT capability in a competitive environment? Does IT capability contribute to the initiation of strategic actions within firms? To understand the relative position of IT in firms, we calculated the IT capability gap.
