متن کاملAbsorptive Capacity and the Efficiency of Research Partnerships
The paper advances the hypothesis that research partnerships expand a firm’s absorptive capacity. The paper juxtaposes the multimarket contact of firms with their patent cross-citations to provide a test of the absorptive capacity hypothesis in general and an indirect test of the hypothesis that research partnerships expand absorptive capacity. The findings support the hypotheses. In the contex...
متن کاملExpatriate Knowledge Transfer, Subsidiary Absorptive Capacity, and Subsidiary Performance
In this study, we theoretically identify three dimensions of expatriate competenciesability, motivation, and opportunity seeking—for knowledge transfer. Integrating the ability-motivation-opportunity framework and the absorptive capacity perspective, we propose that expatriate competencies in knowledge transfer influence a subsidiary's performance through the knowledge received by the subsidiar...

Applying an ambidexterity perspective to a firm’s technology sourcing strategy, we hypothesize that a curvilinear relationship exists between a firm’s technology sourcing mix and i...
