• Formal and integrated strategies for competence development in SMEs (2011, neutral): “In the HRM literature, systems of activities with the aim of developing the workforce are sometimes described as bundles of practices or as HRM systems (Guest, 1997; Michie & Sheehan, 2003).”
• Organizing innovation: Complementarities between cross-functional teams (2009, neutral): “…example, Laursen and Foss (2003) consider complementarity between different HRM practices in terms of their impact on innovation outputs (see also Michie and Sheehan, 2003), while in a more general context Lhuillery (2000) examines the impact of a range of organizational practices on the…”
• Strategic Human Resource Practices and Product Innovation (2008, background): “…the wave of deregulation in the 1980s and 1990s and calls for labour market flexibility in Great Britain, New Zealand and a number of European countries, this issue has particularly been explored by scholars from these countries (e.g. Michie and Sheehan 2003, UK; Kleinknecht 1998, The Netherlands).”
• Is flexible labour good for innovation? : Evidence from firm-level data (2014, background): “(2006), Michie and Sheehan (2001, 2003), Buchele and Christiansen (1999), Lorenz (1999), Pieroni and Pompei (2008) or Storm and Naastepad (2012).”
• The innovation value chain (2006, background): “Hansen and Birkinshaw have developed assessment tools that help companies evaluate their strengths and weaknesses.”
• Openness, knowledge, innovation and growth in UK business services (2011, background): “Thus a higher value of the index reflects a greater commitment to team working in the firm. innovation (Michie and Sheehan 2003).”
• Modelling the innovation value chain (2008, background): “Michie and Sheehan (2003), for example, suggest the importance of human resource management procedures for innovation, while Love et al. (2006) consider the beneficial effects for innovation of organisational factors such as cross-functional teams.”
• Corporate Governance and Innovation: A Survey (2012, positive): “…arise in very different veins of the literature, such as corporate ownership, management, finance and labour (see for instance Lacetera, 2001; Casper and Matraves, 2003; Michie and Sheehan, 2003; Shipton et al., 2005; Lerner et al., 2008; Aghion et al., 2009; Sapra et al., 2009; Ughetto, 2010).”
• Flexible labor and innovation performance : Evidence from longitudinal firm-level data (2010, background): “Labor market flexibility can be subdivided into three types of flexibility: (i) numerical flexibility, (ii) functional flexibility, and (iii) wage flexibility (e.g. Beatson, 1995; Michie and Sheehan, 2003; Arvanitis, 2005; Kleinknecht et al., 2006).”
• Little innovation, many jobs. An econometric analysis of the Italian labour productivity crisis (2010, background): “…supports the idea of productivity-enhancing effects arising from ‘high trust’ or ‘high road’ human resource management practices, and from cooperative labour relations (Buchele and Christiansen, 1999 a,b; Huselid, 1995; Lorenz, 1999; Michie and Sheehan, 2001, 2003; Naastepad and Storm, 2005).”
• Making sense of innovation by R&D and non-R&D innovators in low technology contexts: a forgotten lesson for policymakers (2011, result): “Therefore, this study contributes to highlighting the clear distinction between product and process innovations pointed out in previous studies (e.g. Freel, 2003; Michie and Sheehan, 2003; Lager and Hörte, 2002; Sternberg and Arndt, 2001; Gopalakrishnan et al., 1999; Papadakis and Bourantas, 1998) w”
• Human Resource Management Practices and Innovation (2012, neutral): “In a later study in a sample of 240 UK manufacturing firms also using an innovation output measure of product and process innovation as the dependent variable, Michie and Sheehan (2003), find that firms using HRM practices extensively are much more likely to be process and/or product innovators.”
• Workforce Skills and Innovation: An Overview of Major Themes in the Literature. OECD Education Working Papers, No. 55. (2011, background): “Far from the creation of such ‘flexibility’ causing increased innovation, the correlation between the two is found to be negative’ (Michie and Sheehan, 2003: 139).34”
