Global Talent Management and Performance in Multinational Enterprises: A Multilevel Perspective (2018, background): “For example, Huckman and Pisano (2006) demonstrated that cardiac surgeons’ performance varied across the different hospitals where they performed surgeries.”
Employee Mobility and Organizational Outcomes (2016, background): “…case of internal relational capital arises at the team level, which is developed through interdependence and socialization among team members and is often critical for the performance of the team and its members (Campbell, Saxton, & Banerjee, 2014; Groysberg et al., 2008; Huckman & Pisano, 2006).”
“All for One and One for All?” - Knowledge broker roles in managing tensions of internal coopetition: The Ubisoft case (2019, background): “Further, the internal “stickiness” of knowledge (Szulanski, 1996), reflecting the challenge of “shipping” knowledge from one local context to another (Bechky, 2003; Huckman and Pisano, 2006), may limit transfer processes because of cognitive and cultural constraints (Nelson and Winter, 1982; Von Hip”
Unpacking Team Familiarity: The Effects of Geographic Location and Hierarchical Role (2012, methodology): “This approach resembles that used in studies that take one cumulative experience variable and divide it into two cumulative experience variables representing different categories (e.g., ﬁrm-speciﬁc and non-ﬁrm-speciﬁc experience in Huckman and Pisano 2006).”
A Core/Periphery Perspective on Individual Creative Performance: Social Networks and Cinematic Achievements in the Hollywood Film Industry (2008, background): “For instance, in a recent study Huckman and Pisano (2006) suggest that freelancers may perform differently across organizational settings due to different enabling conditions in terms of human capital and assets.”
Lighting the way or stealing the shine? An examination of the duality in star scientists' effects on firm innovative performance (2015, methodology): “Given that forward citations in patents provide the best proxy for a patent’s impact, we multiplied our calculations by the average forward citations of scientist i’s patents received by year t. Finally, we compared each inventor’s productivity score at time t with the industry average.”
Unpacking Prior Experience: How Career History Affects Job Performance (2009, background): “…researchers studying the relationship between experience and performance often treat work experience as a proxy for knowledge (Almeida et al. 2003, Huckman and Pisano 2006), yet the two constructs (experience and knowledge) are theoretically and practically distinct (Quinones et al. 1995).”
Paying More to Get Less (2011, background): “Though the importance of firm-specific skills may vary across different positions and organizations, research has found that even professional jobs that demand high levels of general skills, such as securities research, scientific research, and surgery, can require firm-specific skills (Allison and ”
