Multinational corporation internationalization in the service sector: a study of Japanese trading companies (2007, background): “As firms are challenged to deal with the nuances of foreign markets (e.g., suppliers, customers, regulators), the extra layer of foreign market acculturation brought on by foreign partners makes FDI significantly more challenging (Goerzen, 2005a, 2007).”
Alliance Capabilities (2015, background): “While Zollo et al. (2002) found that partner-specific experience improves alliance performance, Goerzen (2007) found it reduces economic performance, and Hoang and Rothaermel (2005) found a negative effect on joint R&D project success.”
Diversity in Alliance Portfolios and Performance Outcomes: A Meta-Analysis (2017, background): “For example, TCE suggests that portfolio diversity imposes added contracting and monitoring costs on the firm (Goerzen, 2007), which would be consistent with a negative performance effect.”
Global cities and multinational enterprise location strategy (2013, background): “This proposition stems from the observation that MNEs, among the most significant forces in the global economy, are acting as centrifugal forces, “offshoring” their operations (Bhagwati, Panagariya, & Srinivastan, 2004; Harrison & McMillan, 2006), expanding their worldwide networks of alliances and ”

Does familiarity foster innovation? The impact of alliance partner repeatedness on breakthrough innovations (2015, unknown): “…that facilitate the innovation process (Vanneste and Puranam, 2010; Wuyts et al., 2004), others have shown that repeated ties inhibit innovation by instilling inert mental models and locking firms into prior trajectories (Goerzen, 2007; Laursen and Salter, 2006; Uzzi and Lancaster, 2003).”
HOW DO FIRMS SOURCE EXTERNAL KNOWLEDGE FOR INNOVATION? ANALYSING EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT KNOWLEDGE SOURCING METHODS (2009, background): “…of using external knowledge to explain firm’s technology innovation performance (Levinthal and March, 1993; Katila and Ahuja, 2002; Laursen and Salter, 2006) or the relationship between particular knowledge sourcing method and technology innovation performance (Brockhoff, 1992; Goerzen, 2007).”
