Dispositional and Contextual Antecedents of Individual-level Absorptive Capacity

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- An overwhelming majority of past research has conceptually and empirically treated Absorptive Capacity (AC) at the organizational level of analysis. This exclusive focus on organizational level is problematic given the central role of individuals in developing AC. Adopting micro-foundations perspective, this paper probes into individual-level dispositional antecedents (i.e., "who you are") as well as contextual elements (i.e., "where you are") facilitating motivation for effective implementation of practices and routines that could build up AC. Based on Goal Orientation Theory and Componential Theory of Creativity, we develop and test our hypotheses using a novel dataset collected from individual engineers working at a high-tech manufacturing company. Our results are largely in line with our theoretical predictions.

Towards an Interactionist Perspective on Absorptive Capacity: A Multi-level Investigation
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Academy of Management Proceedings. - : Academy of Management. - 0065-0668.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Absorptive capacity (AC) has been identified as one of the key dynamic capabilities required for achieving continuous learning and developing organizational knowledge. Despite remarkable academic interest in AC, we still lack a systematic multi-level investigation of AC. This lack of attention is especially problematic for it obstructs our insights concerning how much of an organization’s ability to absorb new knowledge comes from its individual members and how much of this ability is due to its own systems and levers. To address this, we adopt interactionist perspective and examine the role of individual-level personality characteristics and group-level transactive memory systems on the development of AC. We test our hypotheses by collecting data from 648 individuals working in 126 departments in a large European manufacturing company. Results largely confirm our theoretical predictions.

Are the extent and effect of psychic distance perceptions symmetrical in cross-border M&As? Evidence from a two-country study
- 2016
-
Ingår i: Journal of International Business Studies. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 0047-2506 .- 1478-6990. ; 47:7, s. 830-857
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The concept of psychic distance has several entrenched assumptions that have not been put to sufficient systematic scrutiny. We address this gap by investigating the assumptions of symmetry (i.e., whether psychic distance from Country A to Country B is the same as that from Country B to Country A) and discordance (i.e., whether differences in psychic distance between two countries always lead to lack of fit) of psychic distance in cross-border mergers and acquisitions. We propose a new framework, which differentiates between the extent (i.e., the degree to which two countries are perceived to be similar/different) and effects (i.e., the degree to which distance perceptions create favorable or unfavorable attitudes and responses) of psychic distance perceptions. We argue that relative status positions affect extent and effects of psychic distance. To test our predictions, we collected data through policy …

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper complements existing research on the role of cultural similarity in cross-border M&As by examining their effects in conjunction with relative status positions of merging entities. Two experimental studies with senior managers were conducted and reported. Whereas status breeds competence-based trust between acquirer and acquired unit, similarity is conducive to benevolence-based trust. Furthermore, higher status position of acquirer is shown to have significant effect on acquired unit members’ social preferences toward the former (Study1). Lastly, similarity and status are found to have distinct and joint effects on knowledge transfer in M&As, which designate an interesting tradeoff between acquired unit members’ perceptions of the credibility of the acquirer and the usefulness of the advice it provides (Study 2). Theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.
