Technological exploration through licensing: new insights from the licensee’s point of view (2010, background): “The emergence of these markets has offered a new window of opportunity to firms that are more open to the outside and that are engaged in permanent search activity (Arora et al., 2001b; Laursen and Salter, 2006).”
Innovation success of non-R&D-performers: substituting technology by management in SMEs (2009, neutral): “- Searching external sources of innovation aims at identifying valuable impulses from customers, suppliers, competitors or universities and other public research organisations in order to orient innovation efforts (see Katila and Ahuja, 2002; Laursen and Salter, 2006).”
Diversity is strategy: the effect of R&D team diversity on innovative performance (2017, neutral): “Lagged-variable models have superior predictive validity, especially when measuring innovation outcomes (Bradley et al., 2010, Laursen and Salter, 2006).”
What exactly are technological regimes?: Intra-industry heterogeneity in the organization of innovation activities (2007, background): “…1987). seen to consist not only of R&D investment, but also of choices regarding external and internal sourcing of information and knowledge (e.g., Laursen and Salter, 2006); collaboration in and outsourcing of R&D projects (e.g., Veugelers, 1997 and Veugelers and Cassiman, 1999); protection of…”
Balancing absorptive capacity and inbound open innovation for sustained innovative performance: An attention-based view (2016, background): “Thus, inbound innovation involves directing organizational attention from one knowledge domain (either organizational or technological) to another (Laursen & Salter, 2006).”
Selective search, sectoral patterns, and the impact on product innovation performance (2012, methodology): “Consistent with the results of Laursen and Salter (2006), Katila and Ahuja (2002) observe an inverted U-shaped relationship between the search effort and innovation performance, which again points to the negative consequences of too extensive search activities.”
Incentives and uncertainty: an empirical analysis of the impact of demand on innovation (2008, neutral): “On demand as a source of knowledge for new ideas and/or specific requirements, there is a bourgeoning literature on the impact of incoming spillovers on innovation as well as on the importance of external channels of information as sources of innovation ideas (Laursen and Salter, 2006).”
Formal and informal appropriation mechanisms: The role of openness and innovativeness (2016, methodology): “As suggested by previous literature (e.g. Laursen & Salter, 2006; Chiang & Hung, 2010; Drechsler & Natter, 2010; Köhler, Sofka, & Grimpe, 2012; Garriga, von Krogh & Spaet, 2013; Salge, Farchi, Barrett, & Dopson, 2013), the degree of openness in innovation of firms can be conceptualized in terms of…”
