Connecting others: Does a tertius iungens orientation shape the relationship between research networks and innovation?

2021

Research on social networks and innovation emphasizes that individuals spanning structural holes and crossing institutional boundaries have more opportunities for knowledge recombination and innovation involvement. However, transforming the potential knowledge and resources available through personal networks to attain innovation can be difficult for the focal individual. Using an ego-network approach, this study examines whether and to what extent an individual strategic orientation to cooperation (i.e. tertius iungens) contributes to strengthening the relation between two personal network properties (structural and institutional separation) and involvement in innovation. Our analysis is c…

R&D with spillovers: Monopoly versus noncooperative and cooperative duopoly.

2011

This paper compares industry profit and R&D propensity for a duopoly conducting either noncooperative or cooperative R&D and a monopoly, using two different basic models of strategic R&D. One postulates spillovers in R&D inputs and predicts that equilibrium joint profit and R&D levels are always larger under monopoly. The other postulates spillovers in R&D outputs and sometimes predicts that joint profit and R&D levels are larger under either of the alternative scenarios. In addition, unlike input spillovers, spillovers in R&D outputs sometimes exert a positive effect on both effective and private noncooperative R&D levels.

Impact of supplier-specific investments in inter-organisational information systems on strategic electronic coordination: the moderation effect of bu…

2018

Abstract This paper examines the factors which influence sharing of the strategic information (in other words, electronic coordination) in a buyer–supplier dyad. The antecedents of this coordination are examined rather well in the transaction cost economics (TCE) theory and resource-dependency theory (RDT), while the supply chain management perspective is contemplated. The mentioned frameworks are used in the analysis. However, the research focus is narrowed down to the exploration of the antecedents of information exchange conducted via inter-organisational information systems (IOS). The empirical analysis is based on 198 observations of Norwegian companies operating in different types of …

Nueva evidencia sobre la eficiencia del mercado español de futuros sobre acciones. El objetivo de este primer capítulo es presentar nueva evidencia sobre la eficiencia del mercado español de futuros sobre acciones durante el período 2001-2010. Para ello, nos servimos del análisis de correlación realizado sobre carteras índices igualmente ponderadas y ponderadas por volumen, así también sobre contratos de futuros individuales. Este análisis revela la existencia de autocorrelación negativa en el corto plazo de una semana. Para explotar el beneficio del arbitraje procedente del patrón de fuente temporal, construimos un conjunto de estrategias de negociación á la Conrad and Kaul para cada día d…

The Role of Leadership in Complex Strategic Networks: Enabling Effect Versus Emergence

2013

In today's knowledge-based economy, the sources of competitive advantage lie more and more in webs of interactions among a variety of actors (such as firms, universities, research organizations, government institutions and so on), that over time originate the emergence of strategic networks. The paper aims to shed light on the determinants of network interaction and the ensuing processes of knowledge and resource transfer and circulation, on which the networkbased sources of competitive advantage are rooted. Accordingly, by means of the adoption of the complexity system perspective, on the one hand, we underscore the emergent nature of network interactions stemming from the self-organizing …

2000-2009 Publication metrics reveal world trends of grain legume research

Identifiant ProdInra 271566 BAP SAR CICAP GEAPSI pas de classement CT scientifiqueIdentifiant ProdInra 271566BAPSAR CICAPGEAPSIpas de classement CT scientifique; Grain legumes grown in Europe produce protein-rich seeds of good nutritional value. They can partially replace imported soybean amounting to about 35 Mt in 2010. Legumes also fix N2 naturally with the help of rhizobiaceae bacteria, resulting in fossil energy saving and reduction of glasshouse gas emissions risks. Strength and weaknesses of grain legume research in Europe and other nations are not well known. Therefore we studied 2000-2009 worldwide publications on grain legumes using the CAB database. We built a world corpus of 161…
