Pricing orientation, pricing capabilities, and firm performance (2013, result): “The positive relationship we find between pricing capabilities and firm performance thus contributes further to empirical tests on the RBV, which so far have yielded mixed results overall (Armstrong and Shimizu, 2007, Newbert, 2007, 2008).”
Management, strategic management theories and thelinkage with organizational competitive advantage from theresource-based View (2009, background): “…to extend the RBV from merely examining the resource attributes (Peteraf and Barney, 2003; Rodriguez and Rodriguez, 2005) to analyzing the extent of the relationship between these resources and other related variables towards achieving competitive advantage level (Armstrong and Shimizu, 2007).”
Toward a More Comprehensive Model of Firms’ Human Capital Rents (2017, background): “In such ways these interrelationships suggest boundary conditions that the key constructs in this article’s arguments impose on each other with respect to firms’ human capital rents (cf. Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007).”
Research opportunities in purchasing and supply management (2012, background): “Choi and Hartley 1996 , Das and Narasimhan 2000 , Pagell and Krause 2002 , Lawson et al .”
The Role of Environmental Management in Sustainable Business Development: A Multi-Country Investigation (2012, background): “…competitive disparity beneficial to the firm, they are inimitable if they are difficult to replicate by other firms due to, for example, their uniqueness or complexity, and they can be called non-substitutable if there are no strategically equivalent resources (cf. Armstrong and Shimizu, 2007).”
Resource-Based Perspectives on Unit-Level Human Capital (2014, background): “Since the sustainable competitive advantage construct has presented scholars with conceptual and measurement challenges (Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007; Crook, Ketchen, Combs, & Todd, 2008), researchers in this literature have used measures of operational performance as a primary dependent variable of…”
Information Technology and Business-Level Strategy: Toward an Integrated Theoretical Perspective (2013, background): “In particular, debate over their degree of empirical support (Armstrong and Shimizu 2007; Combs et al. 2011; Crook et al. 2008; Newbert 2007) distinguishes the solidity (or lack thereof) of the theoretical underpinnings of competence-based theories from those of market structure and tacit collusion…”
Alliance management capability and firm performance: : Using resource-based theory to look inside the process black box (2015, background): “Studying these negative effects within the RBT framework helps to cross-validate the theoretical value of the RBT (Armstrong and Shimizu, 2007) and contributes to nascent discussions on the traps inherent in the path-dependent development of alliance management capabilities (Heimeriks, 2010).”
Exploring the role of dynamic capabilities in firm performance under the resource-based view framework (2014, background): “…advantage by implementing fresh value-creating strategies that competing firms will have difficulty in duplicating (Acedo, Barroso, & Galan, 2006; Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007; Barney, 1986; Dierickx & Cool, 1989; Grant, 1991; Lockett, Thompson, & Morgenstern, 2009; Newbert, 2007b; Ray, Barney, &…”
Making Intangibles “Tangible” in Tests of Resource-Based Theory (2011, methodology): “This sample size compares favorably with related reviews (e.g., Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007; Newbert, 2007).”
The Resource-Based View: A Review and Assessment of Its Critiques (2010, background): “As two recent reviews point out (Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007; Newbert, 2007), empirical research has generated only modest support, implying other factors must be considered when explaining SCA.”
The mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation: A meta-analysis of resource orchestration and cultural contingencies (2017, background): “While this perspective has dominated the strategic management literature as evidenced by several review articles devoted to the resourcebased view (Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007; Barney, Wright, & Ketchen, 2001; Barney, Ketchen, & Wright, 2011), recent research suggests our understanding of the process…”
Less is More, or Not? On the Interplay between Bundles of Slack Resources, Firm Performance and Firm Survival (2015, unknown): “…of slack resources and showing how particular bundles lead to performance advantages while others lead to performance disadvantages, we also provide essential extensions that cross-validate the theoretical value of resource-based theories (e.g., Armstrong and Shimizu, 2007; Priem and Butler, 2001).”
An Assessment of Resource-Based Theorizing on Firm Growth and Suggestions for the Future (2018, background): “While commonalities between RBV and Penrose’s theory are often emphasized (Armstrong & Shimizu, 2007; Barney, Ketchen, & Wright, 2011; Kor & Mahoney, 2004; Mahoney & Pandian, 1992), they differ in critical ways.”
