On the Path towards a Competence-based Theory of the Firm (2008, unknown): “…basic outcome of this section: in terms of the philosophy of science it does not make sense to combine theories of the functionalist (e.g. TCE) and the interpretive paradigm (e.g. CbTF; but not RBV in general, cf. Foss 2002, who bemoans the heterogeneity problem of the RBV) due to incompatibility.”
Entrepreneurship, Subjectivism, and the Resource-Based View: Towards a New Synthesis (2008, unknown): “This realized theoretical shortcoming of the current dominant view of entrepreneurship within management brings us to the second concept of entrepreneurship, which is an important alternative view for future management research to consider more closely.”
