Technological Learning and Competitive Performance

By Paulo N. Figueiredo *. 2001

195 citations recorded by the source corpus.

Paulo Figueiredo comprehensively examines how and why latecomer companies differ in the manner and rate at which they accumulate technological capability over time. He focuses on how key features of the underlying learning processes influence the paths of technological capability accumulation and, in turn, the rate of improvement in operational performance.

Innovation Capabilities and Directions of Development (2009, background): “Other studies developed various threads of this agenda from the 1980 – for example, Tigre (1983), Cassiolato (1992), Dutrenit (2000), Figueiredo (2001), and Marin and Bell (2006).”
Industrial Policy Changes and Firm-Level Technological Capability Development: Evidence from Northern Brazil (2008, background): “One of the main limitations of the present paper is that it does not cover key factors influencing firms’ capability development such as intra-firm learning processes (Bell, 1984; Kim, 1997; Dutrènit, 2000; Figueiredo, 2001; Tacla & Figueiredo, 2006), inter-organizational knowledge links (Ariffin & ”
Internationalization of innovative capabilities: counter‐evidence from the electronics industry in Malaysia and Brazil (2004, methodology): “…details about these common generalisations relative to technological development in the electronics industry in Malaysia and Manaus (Brazil) see, respectively, Ariffin and Bell (1999) and Ariffin and Figueiredo (2001). commented on the basis of, apparently, a small number of visits to some firms.”
