HOW DO FIRMS SOURCE EXTERNAL KNOWLEDGE FOR INNOVATION? ANALYSING EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT KNOWLEDGE SOURCING METHODS (2009, background): “High coordination cost that is required for profit from complex linkage between collaboration partners also has negative effects on performance (Narula, 2004).”
Formal and informal appropriation mechanisms: The role of openness and innovativeness (2016, background): “For instance, while SMEs may make greater use of non-internal R&D sources (e.g. Rothwell & Dodgson, 1994; Lee et al., 2010), they also tend to be more concerned about their loss of technological assets and competencies (Narula, 2004).”
