The Bridging Role of Expatriates and Inpatriates in Knowledge Transfer in Multinational Corporations (2016, background): “Technological knowledge also tends to be less context-specific (Kogut & Zander, 1992) and a large part of R&D activities occur across organizational boundaries (Fey & Birkinshaw, 2005).”
How open is innovation (2010, background): “A few scholars have looked at different governance modes (van de Vrande et al., 2006; Fey and Birkinshaw, 2005), but we lack substantive evidence about how firms can combine different ways of managing openness.”
Understanding the Innovation Behavior of Family Firms* (2015, background): “Because innovation occurs primarily through new combinations of resources, ideas, and technologies, however, a fertile innovation environment requires a constant inflow of knowledge from other places (Fey and Birkinshaw 2005).”
Organizational Learning (2012, background): “Openness may help organizations overcome these tendencies by reducing conformity and allegiance to old ways of thinking, thus making the organization more likely to acquire information from diverse sources (Fey & Birkinshaw, 2005).”
Innovation in food firms: contribution of regional networks within the international business context (2007, background): “…R&D structure and a vast number of firm characteristics: size, financial structure, qualified staff, experience of the manager and openness to new ideas all have an influence on innovation processes (Grünert et al. 1997, Diederen et al. 2000, Romijn and Albaladejo 2002, Fey and Birkinshaw 2005).”
Inter-temporal patterns of R&D collaboration and innovative performance (2014, background): “Collaboration can spur innovation because it allows access to external resources and knowledge that a firm may lack inhouse (Chesbrough 2003; Dahlander and Gann 2010; Fey and Birkinshaw 2005).”
Business models for open innovation: Matching heterogeneous open innovation strategies with business model dimensions (2015, background): “Here, studies assume a main effect relationship between the degree of openness (commonly measured by the breadth and depth of knowledge search) and innovative performance (e.g., Fey & Birkinshaw, 2005; Laursen & Salter, 2006; Leiponen & Helfat, 2010; Oerlemans & Knoben, 2010).”
