Effects of Search Timing on Innovation: The Value of Not Being in Sync with Rivals (2008, background): “…have identified several ways, such as inheriting knowledge from founders (Romanelli, 1985; Eisenhardt and Schoonhoven, 1990), adding new members and organizations (Ahuja and Katila, 2001; Rao and Drazin, 2002), and, more recently, growing organically (Katila, 2002; Hess and Kazanjian, 2006).”

Interfirm Competition for Human Resources: Evidence From the Software Industry (2005, background): “Third, the product-market competitor will likely be able to profit from the skills and knowledge of the employees it hires away, at the expense of the target firm (Adler, 1999; Rao & Drazin, 2002).”
How Anticipated Employee Mobility Affects Acquisition Likelihood: Evidence from a Natural Experiment (2015, background): “Firms have routinely sought to import product line strategies (Boeker, 1997), product innovations (Rao and Drazin, 2002), and key technical knowledge (Rosenkopf and Almeida, 2003) by recruiting talent from rivals.”
When Does Lack of Resources Make New Firms Innovative (2005, background): “Although organizational studies have focused on the negative aspects of scarcity of skills, time, and resources, and strategies to overcome these constraints (e.g., Agarwal, Sarkar, & Echambadi, 2002; Rao & Drazin, 2002), the enabling features of scarcity remain mostly unexplored.”
Productivity Spillovers across Firms through Worker Mobility (2012, background): “showed that hiring knowledge workers from R&D-intensive rms is linked to better performance by the hiring rms, Song et al. (2003) who found that worker ows can explain patterns of patent citations, and Kim and Marschke (2005) who argued that too high mobility of R&D workersbetween rms may actua”
Does quality management foster or hinder innovation? An empirical study of Spanish companies (2008, background): “These include the incorporation of new products or processes (Leiponen, 2000; Rao & Drazin, 2002), the number of innovations adopted within a given period of time (Daft & Becker, 1978; Hage & Aiken, 1967; Kimberly & Evanisko, 1981), the number of technological changes introduced in the last five…”
The innovative performance of firms in heterogeneous environments: the interplay between external knowledge and internal absorptive capacities (2018, background): “…management has devoted a significant attention to inter-organizational mobility of personnel as a way to achieve better innovative outcomes (e.g. Rao and Drazin, 2002;, Song et al., 2003; Rosenkopf and Almeida, 2003; Corredoira and Rosenkopf, 2010; Palomeras and Melero, 2010; Singh and Agrawal,…”

Playing dirty or building capability? Corruption and HR training as competitive actions to threats from informal and foreign firm rivals (2016, background): “Recent studies have started considering competitive actions in the nonmarket and resource-market arenas, such as employee poaching (Gardner, 2005; Rao and Drazin, 2002), enforcement of intellectual property rights (Ziedonis, 2004), lawsuits against competitors (Markman et al., 2009), and political…”

Opportunity Structures in Established Firms (2012, background): “…this study contributes to a growing body of research on the role of individuals in new venture formation, as well as processes associated with the development of new ventures in professional service firms (e.g., Starbuck, 1992; Rao and Drazin, 2002; Groysberg and Lee, 2009; Groysberg, 2010).”
