Firms struggle to be ambidextrous in the sense of being able successfully manage both new and incremental innovation activities simultaneously. Applying knowledge-based view, we examine important moderating influences supplier involvement foreignness on relationship between ambidexterity performance. We test our hypotheses at business-unit level analysis emerging market Brazil. two types ambidexterity: balanced dimension combined dimension. found that firms possessing greater reap higher...
While companies operating in Latin America have witnessed increased female leadership participation, the region remains characterized by traditional gender role attitudes. This juxtaposition of machismo attitudes towards women along with progress women’s participation make this setting ideal for examining a topic continued worldwide debate: career advancement. study examines advancement women—a historically marginalized group America. Building on extant literature, we test negative...

How do firms operating in an emerging country manage the creation of both explorative and exploitative innovations? In this study, we focus on Brazilian automotive industry analyze how these their innovation ambidexterity (the capacity developing breakthrough incremental innovations at same time) increase performance. Yet, moderating role organizational learning inter-organizational relationships translating into Our findings suggest that tend to perform better when they achieve a balanced...
Emerging economies are evolving in such a way that handful of scholars have predicted the next source innovation will originate from them, not developed countries. We contribute to this discussion through an empirical study firms operating emerging economy within automotive industry, knowledge-based perspective. studied 123 and their ability translate ambidexterity into higher levels firm performance. Specifically, we focus on two types ambidexterity: balanced dimension (i.e., capacity...
Are suppliers capable of increasing industry value capture by investing in modular components? Despite the abundant research on product modularity and production systems, understanding how module providers are able to from such components is still scant literature. This study fills this gap analyzing achieve a sustained competitive advantage their focus products innovations as well managing vertically related operations.

Systems integrators are firms that coordinate and integrate several different component technologies into complex products. Despite research evidence these develop a broad knowledge base encompassing not only internalized components but also those outsourced to suppliers, we still know little about how obtain external technological knowledge. Drawing from the concept of innovation search, seek understand systems search generate new inventions by searching its supplier base. Moreover, since...
