Microfoundations in international management research: The case of knowledge sharing in multinational corporations (2019, background): “…microfoundations literature (Felin et al., 2015) may be seen as a reaction to a perceived overemphasis on collective factors in management, as well as an accompanying disregard for individuallevel and social interactional considerations in explaining organizational outcomes (Barney & Felin, 2013).”
The Architecture of Dynamic Capability Research Identifying the Building Blocks of a Configurational Approach (2016, neutral): “This is because the microfoundations discussion fundamentally deals with explaining differences in social outcomes and heterogeneity in competitive advantage (Barney & Felin, 2013; Felin & Foss, 2005; Molina-Azorín, 2014).”
Expatriates’ international opportunity recognition and innovativeness: The role of metacognitive and cognitive cultural intelligence (2017, background): “Encouragement from a renewed interest in microfoundations (Lessard, Teece, & Leih, 2016) suggests that while innovation is an inherently multi-level phenomenon, it involves an individual actor at its base (Barney & Felin, 2013).”
Resources for What? Understanding Performance in the Resource-Based View and Strategic Human Capital Resource Literatures (2021, background): “However, the 2000s saw the introduction of research on the microfoundations of human capital resources (Barney & Felin, 2013; Coff & Kryscynski, 2011; Foss, 2011) and the fusion of psychological research within the broader RBV framework (e.g., Ployhart, 2006; Ployhart & Moliterno, 2011).”
An organizational ethic of care and employee involvement in sustainability-related behaviors: A social identity perspective (2017, background): “An emergent stream of research in the fields of organization theory and strategy points to the importance of micro-foundations in explaining higher-level phenomena (Barney & Felin, 2013; Felin & Foss, 2005; Foss, 2011; Foss & Linderberg, 2013; Powell, Lovallo, & Fox, 2011).”
The impact of relational governance on performance improvement in export manufacturing firms (2018, background): “The resource-based view (RBV) of the firm is one of the most widely accepted theoretical frameworks, proposing that organisational capabilities can be important in shaping firm success in the market (Barney & Felin, 2013).”
Best Practice Recommendations for Designing and Implementing Experimental Vignette Methodology Studies (2014, background): “In addition, research on microfoundations of strategy provides a good opportunity to also bridge the micro/macro gap (Barney & Felin, 2013).”
Stakeholder Relationship Bonds (2016, neutral): “This approach heeds the call for strategy researchers to examine ‘lower-level constituent units when explaining higher levels of analysis’ (Barney and Felin, 2013, p. 144) and to develop models that ‘take into account the interactional and relational factors that might influence preferences,…”
Human Capital Is Dead; Long Live Human Capital Resources! (2014, background): “This simple-complex continuum can be observed in the literatures from microfoundations (additive-complex; Barney & Felin, 2013), multilevel theory (composition-compilation; Kozlowski & Klein, 2000), strategy (stand-alone– complementary resources; Adegbesan, 2009), human capital resource emergence…”
