Leveraging External Sources of Innovation: A Review of Research on Open Innovation (2014, unknown): “Firms differ in their degree of organizational integration for acquiring external R&D (Granstrand and Sjölander, 1990; Vanhaverbeke, Duysters, and Noorderhaven, 2002) which might include technology sourcing and acquisition (Arora, Fosfuri, and Gambardella, 2001; Nicholls-Nixon and Woo, 2003; Veugele”
Effectiveness of technology investment: Impact of internal technological capability, networking and investment's strategic importance (2012, background): “Focus on R&D efforts produces an intermediate good: firm-specific knowledge, which plays a dual role: first, it exerts an impact on the firm’s ability to screen and access the available technological options; and second it enables the firm to put them in productive use and exploit technology benefit”
Ambidexterity in Technology Sourcing: The Moderating Role of Absorptive Capacity (2009, methodology): “…in related areas also relied on a survey approach to gain this type of detailed data (cf. Cohen and Levinthal 1989, 1990; Cohen et al. 2000; Ettlie 1998; Ettlie and Pavlou 2006; He and Wong 2004; Laursen and Salter 2006; Levin et al. 1987; Lubatkin et al. 2006; Nicholls-Nixon and Woo 2003).”
Product Innovations in Emerging Economies: The Role of Foreign Knowledge Access Channels and Internal Efforts in Chinese Firms (2010, background): “Second, the extant literature, in investigating external knowledge sources for innovation, mainly focuses on the impact of strategic alliances and acquisitions (Ahuja, 2000; Hagedoorn & Schakenraad, 1994; Lyles & Salk, 1996; Nicholls-Nixon & Woo, 2003).”
Incumbent Adaptation to Technological Change: The Past, Present, and Future of Research on Heterogeneous Incumbent Response (2018, unknown): “…industry during the emergence of biotechnology between 1981 and 1991 was associated with higher number of biotechnology patents, whereas external R&D efforts (e.g., acquisition) at that time was associated with higher number of biotechnology-based products (Nicholls-Nixon & Woo, 2003).”
Innovation in multinational subsidiaries: The role of knowledge assimilation and subsidiary capabilities (2008, background): “It was Schumpeter (1934) who first pointed out that innovation takes place by ‘‘carrying out new combinations’’ (p 65).”
Deregulation, governance structures, and efficiency: the U.S. electric utility sector (2005, background): “Previous studies have shown that hybrid structures allow firms to learn about new techniques and diversify their risks (Delmas, 1999; Nicholls-Nixon and Woo, 2003).”
Intellectual Capital and Its Major Components (2011, unknown): “Technological capabilities of organizations, particularly knowledge intensive organizations, are seemed as one of the basic foundations of their competitiveness (Afuah, 2002; Nicholls-Nixon and Woo, 2003; Zott, 2003; Wang et al., 2004).”
When do incumbents learn from entrepreneurial ventures?: Corporate venture capital and investing firm innovation rates (2005, background): “19 Nicholls-Nixon and Woo (2003) report significant and high correlations between pharmaceutical firm’s investment and its R&D contracts and acquisition activity.”
A Modern Resource Based Approach to Unrelated Diversification (2007, unknown): “In this way, an organization’s diversity of technological specializations (Nicholls-Nixon and Woo, 2003) is an input to its unrelated diversification.”
Productivity and the Role of Complementary Assets in Firms’ Demand for Technology Innovations (2009, background): “Nicholls-Nixon and Woo (2003) demonstrate that technology sourcing leads to a build-up of the absorptive capacity needed to generate new technical output.”
