Founding conditions and the survival of new firms (2009, background): “Tacit knowledge is more difficult to transfer than explicit knowledge, and the higher the qualifications of labor the greater the complexity and tacitness of the knowledge it embodies (Simonin 2004).”
Absorptive Capacity and Firm Performance in SMEs: The Mediating Influence of Strategic Alliances (2011, background): “, Todeva and Knoke, 2005), and by examining which core competences and resources are essential for a successful implementation of alliances (e.g., Dyer et al., 2001; Simonin, 2004).”
Exploitative and exploratory innovations in emerging economies: The role of realized absorptive capacity and learning intent (2019, methodology): “Existing studies on alliances and learning highlight the key role of recipient firms’ learning intent in the knowledge transfer process (e.g., Hamel, 1991; Simonin, 2004).”
Inter-Organizational Knowledge Transfer: Current Themes and Future Prospects (2008, background): “Szulanski’s (1996) study has shown that this process can be difficult and should not be taken for granted.”
The relationship between organizational learning and firms’ financial performance in strategic alliances: A contingency approach (2008, background): “If a firm aims to acquire valuable knowledge from its partners, it must simultaneously have both learning intent and learning capability (Simonin, 2004).”
Why and how does shared language affect subsidiary knowledge inflows? A social identity perspective (2015, background): “Thus far, scholars have mainly adopted the knowledge-based view of the firm (e.g., Fang et al., 2010; Yang et al., 2008), with notable other work drawing from additional perspectives such as social capital theory (e.g., Tsai & Ghoshal, 1998) and organizational learning theory (e.g., Simonin, 2004).”
New perspectives on learning and innovation in cross-sector collaborations (2012, neutral): “The alliance literature has extensively applied this concept to explain inter-partner learning dynamics (e.g., Lane & Lubatkin, 1998; Simonin, 2004, among many others).”
Repatriating knowledge: variables influencing the “transfer” process (2009, background): “Simonin (2004) states that readiness and receptivity to transfer knowledge have both a cognitive (i.e., attitudes, orientations, perspectives) and a motivational aspect.”
