R&D Determinants: accounting for the differences between research and development (2014, background): “This result agrees with the theoretical results that large, oligopolistic firms gain relatively more from incremental and safer projects (Rosen, 1991; Cabral, 2003; Cohen, 2010).”
A framework for examining leadership in extreme contexts (2009, background): “…the traditional approaches to theory development focused on expected outcomes (Mohr, 1982), we suggest studying extreme contexts requires that researchers consider modeling effects where there are high levels of variability in outcomes (e.g. Cabral, 2003; Denrell, 2003; Kalnins, 2007; March, 1991).”
Do non‐competition agreements lead firms to pursue risky R&D projects? (2014, background): “Cabral (2003) argues that market leaders likely invest in safe R&D strategies, whereas market laggards pursue risky R&D because the latter have a lot to gain from reversing their relative position and little (or nothing) to lose from just remaining a laggard.”
Motivation and Ability? A Behavioral Perspective on the Pursuit of Radical Invention in Multi-Technology Incumbents (2017, unknown): “…falls as performance rises above aspirations, it does not explain why this likelihood also falls as performance drops below aspirations; firms should be even less concerned about cannibalization when performance is far below aspirations than when it is moderately below aspirations (Cabral, 2003).”
Interim Rank, Risk Taking, and Performance in Dynamic Tournaments (2012, background): “29 This intuition has been formalized by Cabral (2003), Goriaev, Palomino and Prat (2003), and Anderson and Cabral (2007).”
