Mobility, Skills, and the Michigan Non-Compete Experiment (2009, methodology): “Using a differences-in-differences approach, and controlling for changes in the auto industry central to Michigan’s economy, we find that the enforcement of noncompetes indeed attenuates mobility.”
Employee Mobility and Organizational Outcomes (2016, background): “…flows from multinationals to domestic firms are associated with increased productivity (Balsvik, 2011; Görg & Strobl, 2005), and that knowledge flows (as measured by patent citation patterns) follow employee mobility between multinationals and domestic firms in both directions (Singh, 2007).”
A perspective on multinational enterprises and climate change: Learning from “an inconvenient truth”? (2008, background): “The transferability of an FSA typically depends on the attributes of the knowledge bundles that establish the FSA (Singh, 2007); the higher the tacitness of the knowledge, the less transferable it”
Foreign Direct Investment and Managerial Knowledge Spillovers through the Diffusion of Management Practices (2012, background): “The literature on the knowledge spillovers from FDI has mainly focused on technological knowledge as measured by the number of patents achieved, sales of new products, or research and development expenditure (e.g. Driffield and Love, 2007; Kafourous and Buckley, 2008; Singh, 2007).”
Learning from openness: The dynamics of breadth in external innovation linkages (2014, background): “In evolutionary terms, this could be seen as the development of improved innovation routines (Nelson and Winter, 1982) or, from a resourcebased perspective, the development of new or improved dynamic capabilities in external partnering (Kale and Singh, 2007; Zollo and Winter, 2002).”
Varieties of Capitalism and institutional comparative advantage: A test and reinterpretation (2016, background): “Our findings may further have important implications for understanding the location choices of multinational enterprises (MNEs) seeking to avoid home country disadvantages, project competitive advantages related to their home country, or exploit complementary resources and knowledge related to host ”
Offshoring innovation to emerging markets: Organizational control and informal institutional distance (2014, methodology): “nizational control decisions of 157 subsidiaries that were identified by the parent MNEs as being founded for the purposes of engaging in R&D activities/ knowledge-sourcing (Almeida, 1996; Gupta, Tesluk, & Taylor, 2007; Singh, 2007a).”
Distributed R&D, Cross-Regional Knowledge Integration and Quality of Innovative Output (2008, unknown): “While dispersed R&D also risks leakage of a firm’s own knowledge to local players in different locations, large firms are able to restrict such leakage (Singh, 2007; Furman et al, 2006).”
Social structure and technology spillovers from foreign to domestic firms (2012, unknown): “The literature on FDI spillovers1 addresses this very issue, primarily examining whether the presence of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) in a host market leads to technology spillovers to domestic firms (see Eden, 2009, for an excellent background, and Görg & Strobl, 2001; Meyer, 2004; Mey”
Bringing institutions into performance persistence research: Exploring the impact of product, financial, and labor market institutions (2010, background): “Focusing on homecountry institutions also complements existing empirical literature, which highlights the host country (e.g., Delios & Henisz, 2003; Singh, 2007).”
Networks of innovators within and across borders. Evidence from patent data (2013, background): “Singh & M. Marx (2012). ‘Geographic Constraints on Knowledge Diffusion: Political Borders vs.”
Toward resource independence – Why state-owned entities become multinationals: An empirical study of India’s public R&D laboratories (2014, methodology): “In summary, Singh (2007) shows that domestic entities in emerging markets can create independent cash flow streams by licensing technologies to MNCs. Extending this logic to SOEs, one can argue that SOEs can achieve resource independence and satisfy Vernon’s recommendation by licensing technologies…”
