Finding a Home away from Home (2014, background): “Second, characteristics of the knowledge itself often make its exchange difficult, particularly when the knowledge is tacit instead of codifiable (e.g., Szulanski, 1996; Martin and Salomon, 2003b).”
Interpreting Results From the Multinomial Logit Model (2015, background): “Other popular ways to conceptualize EMC include acquisition versus greenfield (e.g., Brouthers & Dikova, 2010), equity versus non-equity (e.g., Schwens, Eiche, & Kabst, 2011), licensing versus exporting (e.g., Martin & Salomon, 2003), or non-equity partnership versus equity JV (e.g., Sampson, 2004).”
Organizing Knowledge Processes in the Multinational Corporation: An Introduction (2004, methodology): “The ‘knowledge-based view’ of the firm encapsulates this position (e.g., Kogut and Zander, 1992; Grant, 1996) and an explicitly knowledge-based view has been adopted in much recent MNC research (e.g., Martin and Salomon, 2003 ).”
Knowledge transfer capacity of multinational enterprises and technology acquisition in international joint ventures (2011, background): “In addition, although Martin and Salomon (2003) test a multidimensional knowledge transfer capacity, their model could only capture a part of the constructs by focusing on entry mode rather than learning in organisations.”
Greenfield or acquisition entry: A review of the empirical foreign establishment mode literature (2007, background): “granted (e.g., Kogut and Zander, 1993; Martin and Salomon, 2003), especially when the acquired”
Regulatory environments and the location decision: evidence from the early foreign market entries of new-technology-based firms (2008, unknown): “In a recent conceptual paper on the impacts of knowledge transfer capacity on foreign entry modes, Martin and Salomon (2003) explain that “while examining location factors is certainly relevant, particularly in studies with multiple host countries, such country effects do not change our…”
The relationship between product and international diversification: the effects of short‐run constraints and endogeneity (2009, background): “In addition, firms with superior knowledge transfer capabilities (Martin and Salomon, 2003b) and learning capabilities (Zahra and George, 2002) in conjunction with acquisition and joint venture capabilities may also be able to exploit opportunities along the two dimensions simultaneously.”
Enhancing knowledge transfer in multinational corporations: a dynamic capabilities driven model (2007, background): “In other words, while the possession of knowledge-based assets endows a firm with the potential to benefit in terms of competitive advantage following their transfer abroad, a distinct capability to transfer knowledge efficiently is also required (Martin & Salomon, 2003).”
Does inward foreign direct investment improve the innovative performance of local firms (2013, background): “Scholars from a variety of disciplines have long examined the firm-specific motivations for, and consequences of, engaging in foreign direct investment (FDI) (e.g., Buckley and Casson, 1976; Cantwell, 1989; Kogut and Chang, 1991; Martin and Salomon, 2003; Morck and Yeung, 1991).”
