The Challenge of Integration: A Review of the M&A Integration Literature (2017, background): “It is generally beneficial for R&D-related acquisitions if the knowledge base of the acquirer is not too focused, providing more options for collaboration (Desyllas and Hughes 2010), and if the acquirer commits strongly to R&D himself (Tsai and Wang 2008).”
Is there complementarity or substitutability between internal and external R&D strategies? (2012, background): “R&D in improving innovative performance (Brown and Eisenhardt, 1997; Caloghirou et al., 2004; Cassiman and Veugelers, 2006; Lokshin et al., 2008; Schmiedeberg, 2008; Tripsas, 1997; Tsai and Wang, 2008; Veugelers, 1997).”
The dark side of knowledge transfer: Exploring knowledge leakage in joint R&D projects (2015, background): “Still, knowledge and capabilities to innovate far from always exist within a firm to the necessary extent (Tsai et al., 2011), which presupposes acquisition of technology from outside firm boundaries (Tsai and Wang, 2008).”
“To have and have not”: founders’ human capital and university start-up survival (2013, background): “Following Tsai and Wang (2008), alliances and collaborations have a positive effect on firm performance in R&D intensive sectors.”
