“…One of the most prominent management theories related to the competitive strategies of firms is the RBV. The principal foundation of diversification is heavily influenced by the RBV of a firm (López Rodríguez & García Rodríguez, 2005;Medcof, 2000;Wernerfelt, 1984).…”

“…From a management perspective, the prevailing theory of diversification is heavily based on the RBV (López Rodríguez & García Rodríguez, 2005;Medcof, 2000;Wernerfelt, 1984) of firms (Steinemann, Veloso, & Wolter, 2004). According to RBV theory, a firm's competitive advantage lies primarily in the accumulation and application of its valuable tangible (or intangible) resources (Eisenhardt & Martin, 2000;Miller, 1960;Montgomery & Wernerfelt, 1988;Penrose, 1995;Rumelt, 1984;Wernerfelt, 1984).…”

Abstract. Previous studies have highlighted technological innovation as a key instrument for economic development. However, although the relationship between innovation and economic growth has been extensively explored, few studies have investigated the impacts of crucial dimensions of innovation on economic growth. This paper presents one of the first empirical attempts to analyze how the "diversity" aspect of technological progress (or innovation) influences economic performance by considering the possible bidirectional causal effects between these two factors. A series of econometric techniques, including a two-stage-least-squares instrumental variable and dynamic autoregressive distributed lag model, are applied on a dataset of 55 countries. The dataset includes patent data from the United States Patent and Trademark Office and combined macroeconomic data from the World Bank's development indicators and International Monetary Fund's economic outlook databases. The results show that generally, technological diversity does not directly affect economic growth. By contrast, a negative effect of diversity on GDP per capita is observed in nonhigh-income countries. This study contributes to the macroeconomics and innovation management literature by providing an integrated empirical application of various popular firm management theories and a well-known endogenous economic growth theory.

“…Previous research on cross-cultural knowledge/technology transfer specifically evaluates the operational performance with the transferred knowledge and technology in various aspects, for example, organizational learning effectiveness (Cavusgil & Yavas, 1984;Inkpen, 2000;Le & Evangelista, 2007); productivity or revenue and market share (Caves, 1974;Xu, 2000;Liu & Wang, 2003;Yin & Bao, 2006); competitive advantage (Rodriguez & Rodriguez, 2005;Liao & Hu, 2007); operational efficiency, employee productivity, market share, market penetration, product quality, and customer satisfaction (Lane, Salk, & Lyles, 2001;Dhanaraj, Lyles, Steensma, & Tihanyi, 2004;Tsang, Nguyen, & Erramilli, 2004;Cui, Griffith, Casvugil, & Dabic, 2006); technological capabilities (Kumar, Kumar, & Persaud, 1999;Madanmohan, Kumar, & Kumar, 2004); human resources, business, and general performance (Lyles & Salk, 1996); and potential for innovation (Guan, Mok, Yam, & Pun, 2006;Kotabe, Dunlap-Hinkler, Parente, & Mishra, 2007).…”

This study aims at reviewing the technology/knowledge transfer literature and identifying which research areas on cross-cultural technology transfer field which should explore to obtain the new insights. With it in mind, the intersection of research fields concerning cross-cultural technology/knowledge transfer, the national culture difference and the extended literature of hybridization in the broad field of cross-cultural management is focused.As a result, this study identifies the five research areas meriting the further research on cross-cultural technology transfer: (1) the impact of cultural differences on technology transfer; (2) management practice factors for achieving efficient technology transfer; (3) the evaluation of current management practices at Japanese manufacturing subsidiaries; (4) the relationship between efficient technology transfer and business performance; and (5) research approach in cross-cultural technology transfer, such as research methodology, viewpoint and theoretical foundation. Accordingly, this study suggests the dimensions for further qualitative and quantitative investigations and the integration of fundamental theories-Hofstede's national culture, Adler's hybridization perspective, Abo's management practice framework and organizational learning view-to underpin the investigating models. Consequently, this study draws the significant ways to answer the prevailing problem of how to implement cross-cultural technology transfer efficiently for achieving the successful business performance.
