The Shifting Geography Of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks And Firms, Mark Jenkins, Stephen Tallman
The Shifting Geography Of Competitive Advantage: Clusters, Networks And Firms, Mark Jenkins, Stephen Tallman
Management Faculty Publications
We consider the dynamics of knowledge-based sources of advantage as they move between geographical locations and multinational and other firm level networks using the specialist context of Formula 1 motor over a fifty nine year period. We suggest that shifts in competitive advantage are underpinned by the movement of both architectural and component knowledge at both the firm and cluster level, and in particular we suggest that isolated firms can both benefit from and add to cluster level knowledge. We conclude by suggesting ways in which MNEs can adapt their approach to both location and knowledge development in order to …
Asian Corporate Governance Or Corporate Governance In Asia?, Shaomin Li, Anil Nair
Asian Corporate Governance Or Corporate Governance In Asia?, Shaomin Li, Anil Nair
Management Faculty Publications
Corporate governance has become an important issue for Chinese and Indian firms as they increasingly interact with regulators and investors from developed markets. For instance, tapping into global capital markets to raise funds to finance their domestic and international growth requires firms from China and India to demonstrate strong corporate governance credentials, so that investors do not discount their stock (LaPorta, Lopez-de-Silanes, Shleifer, & Vishny, 2000). The swift action of Chinese and Indian authorities in response to recent corporate scandals – such as the one at Satyam Computers – reveals that even governments in emerging countries such as China and …
Hybrid Data Envelopment Analysis And Simulation Methodology For Measuring Capacity Utilisation And Throughput Efficiency Of Container Terminals, Hokey Min, Byung-In Park
Hybrid Data Envelopment Analysis And Simulation Methodology For Measuring Capacity Utilisation And Throughput Efficiency Of Container Terminals, Hokey Min, Byung-In Park
Management Faculty Publications
As growth in international trade slowed down in the recent years, inter-modal traffic volume declined and subsequently led to reduction in demand for container services. The reduced demand in container services and the ongoing glut of container port facilities throughout the world have sparked fierce competition among international container terminals. In an effort to help the port authorities to develop a winning strategy in the increasingly competitive container market, this paper develops a meaningful set of benchmarks that will set the standard for best practices. In particular, we propose a hybrid Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)/simulation model that is designed to …
Is The World Flat Or Spiky? Information Intensity, Skills, And Global Service Disaggregation, Sunil Mithas, Jonathan W. Whitaker
Is The World Flat Or Spiky? Information Intensity, Skills, And Global Service Disaggregation, Sunil Mithas, Jonathan W. Whitaker
Management Faculty Publications
Which service occupations are the most susceptible to global disaggregation? What are the factors and mechanisms that make service occupations amenable to global disaggregation? This research addresses these questions by building on previous work by Apte and Mason (1995) and Rai, Patnayakuni, and Seth (2006) that focuses on the unbundling of information and physical flows. We propose a theory of service disaggregation and argue that high information intensity makes an occupation more amenable for disaggregation because the activities in such occupations can be codified, standardized, and modularized. We empirically validate our theoretical model using data on more than 300 service …

(First Paragraph) There is a general perception that people in the East rely more on guanxi (relations, or informal social networks) to govern economic transactions and manage business activities than people in the West. A large quantity of literature on the difference has been produced. One of the dominant views argues that the difference is due to culture, which is treated as an exogenous variable.1 These studies on culture as the determinant of different management and governance style have helped us gain insight on how businesses are conducted in different regions of the world and on how cultures differ through-out …
Internationalization, Globalization, And Capability-Based Strategy, Stephen Tallman, Karin Fladmoe-Lindquist
Internationalization, Globalization, And Capability-Based Strategy, Stephen Tallman, Karin Fladmoe-Lindquist
Management Faculty Publications
Current trends appear to suggest that globally integrated strategies are the wave of the future for many industries, but no theoretically sound, firm-level model explains this situation. International business models explain industry trends from economic perspectives, and organizational theory is beginning to examine the organizing principles of multinational firms, but a gap exists in explaining the strategic motivations of multinational firms as they expand and integrate worldwide. This article develops a capability-driven, as opposed to market-driven, framework of multinational strategy. This contingent framework explains the organizational consequences of international expansion and global integration depending on the capability types, capability strategies, …
Product And International Diversification Among Japanese Multinational Firms, Michael J. Geringer, Stephen Tallman, David M. Olsen
Product And International Diversification Among Japanese Multinational Firms, Michael J. Geringer, Stephen Tallman, David M. Olsen
Management Faculty Publications
A study is presented that examines the relationship of performance with product and international diversification on Japanese multinational firms from 1977 to 1993. The relationships between diversification and performance are shown to change over time through the use of multiple time periods and accounting for keiretsu membership. Results show that while diversity strategies vary between keiretsu and non-keiretsu firms, performance is not much different. Across time periods, performance varies considerably, but strategies are less variable. Product diversity has weak effects on firm performance only in one time period, while international diversification has negative profitability and positive growth consequences in some …
Control And Performance In International Joint Ventures, Hans Mjoen, Stephen Tallman
Control And Performance In International Joint Ventures, Hans Mjoen, Stephen Tallman
Management Faculty Publications
The authors examine the meaning of control in international joint ventures (IJVs) and the relationships of potential means of control in such organizations to the performance satisfaction of the foreign partner. They propose a conceptual model that provides both a traditional ownership-focused internalization perspective on those issues and an integrated approach combining a broader transaction cost interpretation of control with a resource input-based bargaining power model. A set of simultaneous structural equations with endogenous
explanatory variables provides multiple possible paths from various resource and power inputs through different means of control to perceived performance satisfaction. In such a model, intermediate …
Effects Of International Diversity And Product Diversity On The Performance Of Multinational Firms, Stephen Tallman, Jiatao Li
Effects Of International Diversity And Product Diversity On The Performance Of Multinational Firms, Stephen Tallman, Jiatao Li
Management Faculty Publications
A study examined the relationships among international diversity, product diversity, and firm performance. For a sample of large American industrial multinational enterprises (MNE), it showed a consistent quadratic relationship between product diversification and MNE performance but minimal performance differences across different measures of international diversity. Analysis of the interactions of international diversity and product diversity indicates a weak effect from increasing internationalization on the performance effect of product diversity.
A Managerial Decision Model Of International Cooperative Venture Formation, Stephen B. Tallman, Oded Shenkar
A Managerial Decision Model Of International Cooperative Venture Formation, Stephen B. Tallman, Oded Shenkar
Management Faculty Publications
International cooperative ventures are becoming a popular variety of foreign direct investment. As with most direct investment models, cooperative venture formation is typically explained in terms of the market imperfections concepts of industrial organization economics models or the transaction cost economics approach of internalization models. However, such models do not provide a sufficient explanation of the original decision by multinational enterprise (MNE) managers to establish an international cooperative venture. A model of international cooperative venture formation is developed that is centered on the decision making process of MNE executives. Central issues for managerial decisions are developed from the organizational studies …
International Cooperative Venture Strategies: Outward Invest, Stephen B. Tallman, Oded Shenkar
International Cooperative Venture Strategies: Outward Invest, Stephen B. Tallman, Oded Shenkar
Management Faculty Publications
The preferred models of overseas outward investment in cooperative ventures were analyzed for 340 small and midsized manufacturing firms in a newly industrialized country (NIC), the Republic of Korea. Firms were examined as sources of investment capital, knowledge, or technology, and locational differences in the methods by which these firms exploit their competitive strengths were addressed. The analysis suggested that firms in the sample have strategic concerns that are different from those of the large multinational companies (MNC) usually studied in this type of research. Current models of the international firm and of cooperative ventures were shown to have a …
