Untangling the Effects of Overexploration and Overexploitation on Organizational Performance: The Moderating Role of Environmental Dynamism† (2008, methodology): “Along with the effort of this study, some other recent works (e.g., Beckman et al., 2004; Chen & Miller, 2007; Greve, 2007) have already headed in that direction by further unraveling the specific factors that underlie firms’ search behavior.”
