The Theory-Based View: Economic Actors as Theorists (2017, unknown): “If economic actors hold common understandings of resource value and use, then resources themselves hold little promise for explaining heterogeneous performance outcomes, beyond randomly assigned initial endowments or random variation in initial prices paid (cf. Leiblein, 2011).”
Quo Vadis, Dynamic Capabilities? A Content-Analytic Review of the Current State of Knowledge and Recommendations for Future Research (2018, background): “Moving beyond the organizational level and adding microfoundations to the research agenda (Abell, Felin, & Foss, 2008; Felin, Foss, & Ployhart, 2015), a total of 46 studies have elucidated individual-level factors and their role in shaping dynamic capabilities, including human capital (Hsu & Wang, 2”
From Temporary Competitive Advantage to Sustainable Competitive Advantage (2015, unknown): “…advantage Attaining a better outcome of TCA via stronger market position (IO perspective) The term of “competitive advantage” has been widely studied in economics as well as strategic management; albeit that the term itself continues to be ill-defined and subject to debate (Leiblein, 2011).”
Beyond institutional voids: Business groups, incomplete markets, and organizational form (2015, background): “…arguments presented in the current paper highlight the potential of business groups to enhance “evolutionary fitness”—“how well a dynamic capability enables an organization to make a living by creating, extending, or modifying its resources” (Helfat et al., 2007: 7, q.v. Leiblein, 2011: 912).”
The Architecture of Dynamic Capability Research Identifying the Building Blocks of a Configurational Approach (2016, unknown): “…Genetic algorithm-based simulation model Examination of conditions under which strategic groups emerge and their performance differences persist Leiblein (2011) Conceptual n/a Discussion of RBV and dynamic capability view Lichtenthaler (2009) Quantitative, qualitative Semi-structured…”
Microfoundations of Routines and Capabilities: Individuals, Processes, and Structure (2012, methodology): “Our purpose is to anchor and build on the more common definitions rather than to provide an exhaustive review (for recent work that offers thorough reviews of definitions see Barreto, 2010; Becker, 2005; Cohen et al., 1996; Hoopes and Madsen, 2008; Leiblein, 2011; Di Stefano et al., 2010).”
Acquisitions by emerging market multinationals: Implications for firm performance (2014, methodology): “To identify and benefit from potential synergies and complementarities, firms need the organizational capabilities (Newbert, 2007; Teece, Pisano, & Shuen, 1997) required to re-allocate resources (Leiblein, 2011).”
Micro-Foundations of Firm-Specific Human Capital: When Do Employees Perceive Their Skills to be Firm-Specific? (2016, unknown): “Not surprisingly, this assumption has been relaxed in many prominent labor economics theories (e.g., Spence, 1973) and market frictions play a crucial role in the broader strategy literature (Barney, 1991; Leiblein, 2011; Mahoney & Pandian, 1992; Mahoney & Qian, 2013).”
Resources as dual sources of advantage: Implications for valuing entrepreneurial‐firm patents (2013, background): “” Despite major advances in RBT as a theory of competitive advantage, Priem and Butler (2001) contend that the empirical literature overemphasizes whether resources are valuable, thus obscuring deeper understanding of why and how such resources are advantageous.”
Processes, antecedents and outcomes of dynamic capabilities (2014, background): “Studies are based on somewhat differing assumptions, and thus not all the findings and arguments are comparable (Leiblein, 2011).”
Getting to the “COR” (2014, background): “Thus, just as it is critical with organizations, it is critically important to COR theory to understand how individuals determine value of resources and how that might differ both between- and within-individuals (Leiblein, 2011; Maritan & Peteraf, 2011; Sirmon, Hitt, Ireland, & Gilbert, 2011).”
