In high-velocity environments such as high-technology industries, firms often engage in acquisitions to gain access to new capabilities as sources of competitive advantage. Prior research has shown, however, that attempts at post-acquisition capability transfer tend to present formidable challenges. Based on an in-depth, longitudinal case study design, this research reveals that the success of ...

In this paper, a novel method using Bees Algorithm is proposed to determine the optimal allocation of FACTS devices for maximizing the Available Transfer Capability (ATC) of power transactions between source and sink areas in the deregulated power system. The optimizations are made on three parameters: the location of the devices, their types and their sizes. The FACTS devices are located in or...

A bone graft has been the gold standard treatment for repairing bone defects. However, due to bone grafts associated donor site morbidity several alternative bone substitutes options have been made available but with their added expense and limited osteoinductive properties they are not ideal. Therefore, research has begun in tissue engineering to investigate stem cells, which are one of the bo...

The purpose of this study is to introduce the network perspective to the transfer of knowledge between organizations embedded in different organizational contexts. This paper extends the previous studies in inter-organizational knowledge transfer by (1) explicitly considering the notion that organizational capabilities are largely collective knowledge, (2) identifying different networks involve...
