Resource and Capability Constraints to Innovation in Small and Large Plants (2006, background): “work on the resource-based theory, such as that by Conner (1991) and Rumelt (1987) , acknowledged entrepreneurship as an intricate part of the resource-based framework, most entrepreneurial resource-based research has failed to integrate creativity and the entrepreneurial act into the analysis.”
Building an integrative model of small business growth (2009, background): “It might also be that the small business is able to grow with less threat of retaliation, given the increasing complexity in the environment (e.g., greater causal ambiguity ( Rumelt 1987 )).”

Business relationship alignment: on the commensurability of value capture and mutuality in buyer and supplier exchange (2004, background): “On the other hand, if suppliers are pursuing their “ideal” outcome, they should seek to close markets to their competitors, create sustainable isolating mechanisms that allow them to premium price and earn above normal returns ( Rumelt, 1987”
ORDER OF MARKET ENTRY, MARKET AND TECHNOLOGICAL EVOLUTION AND FIRM COMPETITIVE PERFORMANCE (2009, background): “First, the basic “isolating mechanisms” – mechanisms through which first movers can be protected from imitative competition – have been identified and classified (Rumelt, 1987; see Lieberman and Montgomery, 1988 for a review).”
Dispersed knowledge and an entrepreneurial theory of the firm (2004, background): “Rather curiously, traditional theories7 of the firm do not take the phenomenon of the genesis of particular firms or markets as the subject matter of their theorizing (for an exception, see Rumelt, 1987), let alone recognize the importance of individuals in this process.”
The role of affect- and cognition-based trust in complex knowledge sharing. (2005, background): “Since the late eighties, the field of strategic management has seen a paradigm shift towards the resourcebased view of the firm (Barney, 1986, 1991; Rumelt, 1987; Wernerfelt, 1984).”
