Going The Distance: The Pros And Cons Of Expanding Employees’ Global Knowledge Reach, Shad S. Morris

Faculty Publications

While some scholars have suggested MNEs to be superior to markets for managing knowledge across geographically distant boundaries, how they actually accomplish this has not been fully considered. We address this void by developing and testing a model that highlights the critical role of organizational incentives in enhancing employees’ internal search and use of knowledge. Data from 166 knowledge-intensive projects support our argument that, in contrast to process-based incentives that influence more local search, outcome-based incentives motivate employee teams to reach well beyond their immediate location, which in turn enhances performance. At the same time, we demonstrate that expanded reach …

Innovation Outcomes Of Knowledge-Seeking Chinese Foreign Direct Investment, Xianming Wu, Nathaniel C. Lupton, Yuping Du

Faculty Publications

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigates how organizational learning, absorptive capacity, cultural integration, specialization of the acquired firm and characteristics of transferred knowledge impact innovation performance subsequent to overseas acquisitions.

Etf Trading, Steven D. Dolvin

All Chapters

ETFs are designed to track a particular underlying index. As these "baskets" of securities are traded, excessive demand or supply of shares can cause a disparity between the price of the ETF and the underlying value of securities held. However, because of the ability of large institutions to trade directly with the ETF firm to create and redeem shares, arbitrage keeps prices in line. See article here, WSJ.
