Exporting and innovating among emerging market firms: The moderating role of institutional development (2017, background): “Scholars have found that firms with more diversified knowledge portfolios tend to invest more in R&D, file more patent applications, and announce more breakthrough innovations (Garcia-Vega, 2006; Quintana-Garcia & Benavides-Velasco, 2008; Srivastava & Gnyawali, 2011).”
Do Important Inventions Benefit from Knowledge Originating in Other Technological Domains (2012, background): “Others have linked these findings to the benefits of diversification in firms (Nelson, 1959; Jaffe, 1986; Garcia-Vega, 2006), and of relaxing disciplinary borders in academia (Rosenberg, 2009).”
Substitutability and complementarity of technological knowledge and the inventive performance of semiconductor companies (2014, background): “…Mansfield, 1980; Link, 1981; Griliches, 1986; Jaffe, 1986), recent ndings have emphasized technological-knowledge diversity as potent source of a firm’s inventive performance (Henderson nd Cockburn, 1996; Nesta and Saviotti, 2005; Garcia-Vega, 2006; uintana-García and Benavides-Velasco, 2008).”
Small firm innovation performance and employee involvement (2014, positive): “The product diversification degree may, on the one hand, result in more innovation as companies may see more technological opportunities for innovation in their product markets and production processes (see, e.g., Garcia-Vega 2006).”
Socioemotional Wealth as a Mixed Gamble: Revisiting Family Firm R&D Investments with the Behavioral Agency Model (2013, positive): “promote much needed organizational learning while preserving control over core technologies, meaning that the potential SEW losses will be again minimized (Garcia-Vega, 2006).”
Affiliate Directors and Perceived Risk Bearing in Publicly Traded, Family–Controlled Firms: The Case of Diversification (2008, neutral): “where they are employed can double as a resource for family firms ( Garcia-Vega, 2006 ).”
Technological Diversification, Coherence and Performance of Firms (2007, positive): “Recent empirical evidence by Nesta and Saviotti (2005) and Garcia-Vega (2006) has confirmed a general positive impact of technological diversification on firms' technological performance 5 .”
Corporate venture capital portfolios and firm innovation (2016, positive): “Increasing technological diversity may increase the potential for innovation based on internal spillovers (Garcia-Vega, 2006), and may increase a firm's ability to identify, evaluate, and absorb knowledge from external sources (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990).”
Does a different view create something new? The effect of employee diversity on innovation (2011, background): “Technologically diverse firms are also found to be more innovative and survive longer (Breschi et al., 2003; Suzuki and Kodama, 2004; Garcia-Vega, 2006).”
Innovative competence, exploration and exploitation: The influence of technological diversification (2008, background): “Particularly, there has been little research on how technological diversification affects innovation performance (Nesta and Saviotti, 2005; Garcia-Vega, 2006).”
Technological diversification, core-technology competence, and firm growth (2016, background): “Tapping into diversified technological areas helps them enhance firm-specific capability to assimilate extramural knowledge (Cohen and Levinthal, 1989, 1990; Garcia-Vega, 2006; Quintana-Garcia and Benavides-Velasco, 2008).”
Open Innovation in Practice: An Analysis of Strategic Approaches to Technology Transactions (2008, background): “In addition, prior research suggests a relation between a firm’s degree of technological diversification and open innovation [60], [62], [72].”
Complementary technologies, knowledge relatedness, and invention outcomes in high technology mergers and acquisitions (2009, methodology): “To construct this measure, we calculated an index of technological diversification similar to a Herfindahl index of concentration (Hall et al., 2001; Garcia-Vega, 2006).”
