PublicationBorn-Global: The Case of Four Vietnamese SMEsDespite the fact that many firms in a wide range of industries in various countries internationalize at or near inception, research on factors leading to the formation of born-globals has been limited to firms from advanced, open economies. In order to give a voice to the phenomenon of Vietnamese founding born-globals, we conducted an exploratory, multiple-case study. Three findings of this study are: (1) the major driver to the formation of Vietnamese born-globals is the entrepreneurs' leadership desire together with the need for short-term profits; (2) their choice of internationalization mode is influenced by market conditions as well as the internationalization degree of the industries in which they find their business opportunities; and (3) the reason why other motivators found in earlier studies do not apply lies in the peculiarity of the Vietnam context.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of International EntrepreneurshipVolume: 6Issue: 2

PublicationBuilding Corporate Knowledge and Competence Communities - Dynamic Capabilities of a FirmThis paper aims to explore the link between strategic management and knowledge management in order to facilitate our understanding of dynamic capabilities. Based on an in depth case study of a Fortune 500 company, our findings suggest that, first, there are limitations to use the theoretical framework of the resource-based view (RBV) to explain the phenomenon under investigation, and second, that knowledge sharing routines can persevere as a dynamic capability, i.e. the dynamic utilization and deployment of corporate knowledge. We suggest a view of the firm as a dynamic knowledge and competence community, where each corporate member's competences and tacit knowledge are shared and competence and knowledge gaps can be closed by the frequent recombination of knowledge and human resources.Type: conference paper

PublicationChina's changing role as an Innovation Hub for Foreign Companies: What are the opportunities in this changed world?Latest improvements to protecting Intellectual Property (IP) and broadening market access for international investors in China are opening new opportunities for foreign Multinational Corporations (MNCs), e.g., in China’s strategic industries including electromobility, artificial intelligence and automation, and to benefit from China’s large domestic (data) market. Even though China’s latest policy changes to its IP and investment regimes have clearly improved its business environment, clear risks remain due to China’s evolving and partly unpredictable government policy priorities that may also be impacted in the future by geopolitical tensions such as US-Chinese or EU-Chinese relations. China’s strategic approach to industry policies also requires policymakers to step up their game in engaging with China to achieve truly mutual market access. For example, the recent EU-China Comprehensive Agreement on Investment is a welcome development in this direction, but it will need to be further substantiated to level the playing field for foreign MCNs in China. For this, it is paramount that policymakers across Europe, the US and China engage in a pragmatic and interest-based dialogue to ensure that incentives can be aligned and opportunities for global innovation can be further enhanced.Type: conference poster

PublicationDisruptive Innovation in the Context of China : How weak institutions can be conducive for innovationIn recent years, a growing body of literature has found that the institutional context of firms matters for innovation and that more developed institutions are positively correlated with technological innovation, while weaker institutional regimes in transition economies like China have a detrimental effect. However, in recent years, transition economies and emerging markets have become increasingly important as centers of research and development (R&D). This is especially true for the development of good-enough, no-frills products that initially respond to local customer demands, which have the potential to be marketed globally as disruptive innovations. Few previous studies have taken a systematic institutions-based view on why and how the institutional context of transition and emerging markets influences the emergence of this type of innovation. Taking an institutions-based perspective, this paper uses evidence from four high technology companies operating in China to show that in the case of low-end disruptive innovation, the institutional context of transition economies is actually conducive, as inadequate institutions (e.g. insufficient enforcement of intellectual property rights) matter less for disruptive innovation, while other characteristics of transition economies benefit innovation.Type: conference paper

PublicationDynamic capabilities in R&D Management - How to identify?( 2005-07-07)Why does corporate R&D perform differently? The Dynamic Capability (DC) theory could be a useful conceptual lens to focus on why some firms consistently outperform within a dynamic environment. However research in this area is still spare. This paper seeks to summarize state of the art research on the DC theory especially works linking with R&D management. It discusses important fundamentals which require to be taken into closer consideration in future research of DC in R&D such as the emergence of multilayered dynamism in R&D management. Our literature review suggests paying more attention to specific micro processes and drivers behind these capabilities in order to understand the formation of DC. It also points out that modern R&D management has developed into an integrated management field comprising a wide variety of complementary management issues offering novel opportunities for DC building. The emergence of ‘higher order' capability i.e. DC could follow an evolutionary path.Type: conference paper
