Incumbent Adaptation to Technological Change: The Past, Present, and Future of Research on Heterogeneous Incumbent Response (2018, neutral): “Complementary assets Helfat andLieberman (2002), Mitchell (1989), Rothaermel (2001), Rothaermel and Hill (2005), Teece (1986), Tripsas (1997a) By definition, possession of complementary assets strengthens ability to commercialize Possession of complementary assets can be leveraged to acquire…”
CEO Narcissism, Audience Engagement, and Organizational Adoption of Technological Discontinuities (2013, background): “Still, incumbent pharmaceutical companies were able to temporarily sustain their revenues from existing products by relying on their downstream assets: extensive sales forces, strong brands, and patent-protected products (Rothaermel and Hill, 2005).”
Knowledge management and innovation strategy: The challenge for latecomers in emerging economies (2008, background): “According to Rothaermel and Hill (2005), a firm’s complementary assets might be expected to influence its learning processes and their outcomes significantly, supplementing the effect of absorptive capacity.”
Incumbent Performance in the Face of a Radical Innovation: Towards a Framework for Incumbent Challenger Dynamics (2012, background): “But what do these innovations imply for incumbents’ performance? In addressing this question, it is often argued that incumbent organizations suffer in the face of radical innovations (e.g., Benner, 2010; Christensen, 1997, 2006; Foster 1986; Hill and Rothaermel, 2003; Rothaermel and Hill, 2005; Tus”
A perspective on multinational enterprises and climate change: Learning from “an inconvenient truth”? (2008, background): “…this will contribute more to a sustainable competitive advantage, because such investments will be more difficult to imitate (Verbeke, Bowen & Sellers, 2006), and lead to higherorder capabilities of combining technological (upstream) and nontechnological (downstream) FSAs (Rothaermel & Hill, 2005).”
The Whole Is More Than the Sum of Its Parts— Or Is It? A Review of the Empirical Literature on Complementarities in Organizations (2010, background): “We found only six studies (Benner & Veloso, 2008; Brynjolfsson & Hitt, 2003; Rothaermel and Hill, 2005; Ruiz-Navarro, 1998; Siggelkow, 2001; Toole, 2007) that employ a truly longitudinal perspective.”
University–incubator firm knowledge flows: assessing their impact on incubator firm performance (2005, background): “As discussed in detail inRothaermel and Thursby (2005), one of the important milestones in the development of incubator firms is the timely graduation from the incubator.”
The Determinants of Green Radical and Incremental Innovation Performance: Green Shared Vision, Green Absorptive Capacity, and Green Organizational Ambidexterity (2014, background): “Prior research affirms that firms with a higher level of absorptive capacity exhibit better organisational learning and organisational ambidexterity [42].”
How Firms Capture Value From Their Innovations (2013, background): “Likewise, Rothaermel and Hill (2005) show that generic complementary assets necessary to commercialize a new technology yield lower performance than specialized complementary assets.”
Platform Competition: A Systematic and Interdisciplinary Review of the Literature (2020, neutral): “…still lack empirical substantiation and say little about the actual process of displacement and how this may differ from technological discontinuity or disruption dynamics observed outside the realm of platform markets (e.g., Adner, 2002; Anderson & Tushman, 1990; Rothaermel & Hill, 2005).”
China's national innovative capacity (2008, background): “The higher backward citation rate may represent the higher dependency and stronger absorptive capacity from previous innovations ( Rothaermel and Hill, 2005; Cohen and Levinthal, 1989).”
The Essence of Dynamic Capabilities and their Measurement (2018, background): “2010; Macher and Mowery 2009; Moliterno and Wiersema 2007; Rothaermel and Hess 2007; Rothaermel and Hill 2005; Shamsie et al .”
Ambidexterity in Technology Sourcing: The Moderating Role of Absorptive Capacity (2009, background): “Prior research affirms that firms with a higher level of absorptive capacity exhibit higher internal technological competence, utilize more alliances, and manage communications with their alliance partners more effectively (Nicholls-Nixon 1995, Nicholls-Nixon and Woo 2003, Rothaermel and Hill 2005).”
