Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- For a sample of all 88 counties in the State of Ohio over a 5-year period, this study documents the effect of flagship enterprises and concentrated industrial clusters on regional innovation. Consistent with the agglomeration arguments and the knowledge spillover theory of entrepreneurship, both appear to affect regional innovation positively. Additionally, regional educational attainment positively moderates the effect of industrial clusters on innovation. At the same time, flagship enterprises primarily affect regional innovation in regions with low education levels. Results are obtained with the help of conservative econometric techniques and are robust to the choice of alternative dependent variables and estimators. The findings have major policy implications and provide insights into alternative routes to encouraging regional innovation.

Strategic effects of corporate venture capital investments
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of Business Venturing Insights. - : Elsevier. - 2352-6734. ; 5, s. 63-69
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper analyzes the strategic effects of corporate venture capital investments. Specifically, by studying the deals of 163 corporations over a four-year period, it documents the effects of driving, emerging, enabling, and passive investments on the pool of innovative opportunities available to incumbents and the scale efficiency gains they experience as a result of these investments. The study suggests that by making driving and enabling investments, incumbents position themselves in the industry to take advantage of increased pools of innovative opportunities and improve scale efficiency yields. At the same time, emerging and passive investments are detrimental for both of the strategic goals considered in this paper.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- For decades, corporations have developed strategies and adopted new methods to integrate business processes and activities in order to improve firm performance and achieve both effectiveness and efficiency in their operations. Recently, many firms have focused on integrating both internal and external business activities of their supply chain into a standardized system. The supply chain system extends beyond the boundaries of a firm, considering the costs of all materials flows until products reach the final costumer. This study explores the extent of supply chain integration on the financial performance of the Swedish manufacturing firms.

Entrepreneurial and Market-Oriented Activities, Financial Capital, Environment Turbulence, and Export Performance in an Emerging Economy
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of Small Business Strategy. - : Small Business Institute. - 1081-8510 .- 2380-1751. ; 26:1, s. 1-24

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines the impact of the simultaneous implementation of entrepreneurial and market-oriented export activities on export success and whether this relationship depends on levels of financial capital and market environment turbulence. The findings from a study of 164 Ghanaian exporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) indicate that high levels of both entrepreneurial and market orientation generate better export performance. The relationship is stronger when firms have greater financial capital and operate in more turbulent export market environments. These results extend existing knowledge of how SMEs can improve export performance by seeking fit between firm-specific capabilities and external environment conditions.

International entrepreneurial orientation and regional expansion
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Entrepreneurship and Regional Development. - : Routledge. - 0898-5626 .- 1464-5114. ; 29:1-2, s. 4-26
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines how behavioral elements of international entrepreneurial orientation (i.e. product innovativeness, risk-taking, proactiveness, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomy) increase variability in scope of regional market expansion, and the international marketing channel management conditions under which this occurs. Results from an empirical study in a developing market show that not all behavioral elements of international entrepreneurial orientation (IEO) increase scope of regional expansion. The study specifically finds that scope of regional expansion is fostered when high levels of product innovation intensity, risk-taking, competitive aggressiveness, and autonomous behaviors are aligned with a stronger channel management capability. Conversely, the regional expansion values of product innovation novelty and proactiveness are cancelled out when channel management capability levels are high.

Addressing dual embeddedness : The roles of absorptive capacity and appropriabilitymechanisms in subsidiary performance
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study examines how subsidiaries can manage dual embeddedness with both local partners and a multinational enterprise. Specifically, we examine the role of absorptive capacity and appropriability mechanisms on subsidiary performance. We analyse how absorptive capacity and appropriability enable subsidiaries to successfully address knowledge challenges related to internal and external networks. We conducted an empirical analysis on a sample of 165 subsidiaries. Our results suggest that absorptive capacity has a direct, positive effect on subsidiary performance, which is greater in emerging countries. The study also found an indirect effect of absorptive capacity on subsidiary performance, which is mediated through appropriability mechanisms. These findings extend the literature on international networks, dual embeddedness and absorptive capacity.

Moving from servitization to digital servitization : Identifying the required dynamic capabilities and related microfoundations to facilitate the transition
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journal of Business Research. - : Elsevier. - 0148-2963 .- 1873-7978. ; 158
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Many manufacturing companies are adopting servitization as a competitive business strategy to offer product-service combinations. The ongoing shift to digitalization and Industry 4.0 provides novel opportunities and benefits to industrial firms in this regard, and researchers termed the adoption of digital technologies to servitization as “digital servitization”. In order to successfully transition towards digital servitization, fundamental reconfiguration of resources, organizational structures, work practices, infrastructure, culture, etc. are required. Hence, this paper performs a systematic literature review on prior studies covering dynamic capabilities for servitization and digital servitization. The purpose is to identify and compare the dynamic capabilities needed to facilitate a transition from “traditional” servitization to digital servitization. In doing so, this paper presents an integrated framework of dynamic capabilities to enable digital servitization, providing 22 micro-foundations for servitization and digital servitization, as well as the key challenges and enablers related to the transition from one to the other.
