Resources for What? Understanding Performance in the Resource-Based View and Strategic Human Capital Resource Literatures (2021, background): “However, the 2000s saw the introduction of research on the microfoundations of human capital resources (Barney & Felin, 2013; Coff & Kryscynski, 2011; Foss, 2011) and the fusion of psychological research within the broader RBV framework (e.g., Ployhart, 2006; Ployhart & Moliterno, 2011).”
Rethinking Sustained Competitive Advantage from Human Capital (2012, background): “…competitive advantage by more carefully specifying conditions under which individuals with valuable human capital can be effectively isolated and their human capital leveraged to realize advantages (Coff & Kryscynski, 2011; Felin & Hesterly, 2007; Foss, 2011; Ployhart, Weekley, & Baughman, 2006).”
Unlocking Founding Team Prior Shared Experience: A Transactive Memory System Perspective (2012, background): “First, it echoes the call for investigating the micro- foundations of entrepreneurial resources (Foss, 2010; Gilbert et al., 2006).”
Stakeholder Theory and the Resource-Based View of the Firm (2021, background): “However, people, as providers of labor, are still classified as human resources (Foss, 2011) or human capital (Coff & Kryscynski, 2011)—just another resource among many other types of resources at a firm’s disposal.”
Extending Corporate Social Responsibility Research to the Human Resource Management and Organizational Behavior Domains: A Look to the Future (2013, background): “As noted by Aguinis and Glavas (2012), scientific fields addressing macrolevel issues, such as economics, initially developed without giving a prominent role to their microfoundations (Foss, 2011; Mollick, 2012).”
Cognition and Capabilities: A Multi-Level Perspective (2013, background): “This matching process affects what managers actually do with the capabilities that organizations possess (Foss, 2011; Hansen et al., 2004).”
Flexibility-Oriented HRM Systems, Absorptive Capacity, and Market Responsiveness and Firm Innovativeness (2013, background): “Furthermore, scholars have recently called for an understanding of micro-foundations in the strategic management research (Foss, 2011).”
Inter-organizational collaboration and SMEs’ innovation: A systematic review and future research directions (2020, background): “…this perspective could be specifically useful to uncover the effect of individual-level heterogeneity of SMEs on their firm-level performance (cf., Foss, 2011), or understand the fine-grain details of how collaboration-related capabilities can actually develop in SEMs (in terms of individual…”
Resource-Based Perspectives on Unit-Level Human Capital (2014, background): “…the effort to better understand the individual-level constructs (Felin & Foss, 2005; Felin & Hesterly, 2007) and organizational processes (Teece, 2007) that are component to, and/or cause, higher-level strategic phenomena such as resources and capabilities (Abell, Felin, & Foss, 2008; Foss, 2011).”
