Abstract It is widely recognized that new product development (NPD) a highly interdependent process, yet efforts to empirically model the interdependence and examine its effect on firm performance are scarce. Our study addresses this research gap. We firms’ abilities collectively collaborate with suppliers, customers, internal employee teams in NPD as collaborative competence impact project market performance. Using responses collected from 189 managers, we find empirical evidence for...
Innovation contests are increasingly adopting a format where submissions viewable by all contestants and the information structure changes during contest. In such an “unblind” format, must weigh costs of revealing their against benefits improving through emerging information. We take closer look at how solve problems in innovation with public submission solutions—that is, unblind contests, examining implications behavior for contest outcomes. analyze terms three dimensions: position first...
Abstract Innovation contests allow firms to harness specialized skills and services from globally dispersed participants for solutions business problems. Such provide a rich setting operations management (OM) scholars explore problem solving in global labor markets as continue unbundle their innovation value chains. In this study, we examine the implications of specific types diversity on problem‐solving effort success. First, conceptualize among contestants terms national wealth (measured...
Abstract How can firms design collaboration structures for effective performance in R&D projects that involve multiple partners? To address this question, we examine the theoretical underpinnings of multi‐partner projects—i.e., scale and scope partnering efforts. Partnering captures extent resource interdependencies between a firm its partners; both breadth depth partners. Using primary data from 147 projects, develop test hypotheses impact decisions on performance. Results indicate has...
How we manage operations – the domain of Operations Management (OM) has important implications for practice diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in organizations. Conversely, DEI goals have organizations’ OM practices. We outline two-way links between to offer future research opportunities. In particular, examine interactions across four broad themes: (1) Workforce, (2) Supply Chains, (3) Health Society, (4) Technology, Platforms, Innovation. conclude with a discussion as it relates...
ABSTRACT Despite the immense potential of precision medicine to revolutionize healthcare, its integration into routine clinical practice remains a significant challenge. This study investigates impact Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) guidelines, which provide synthesized evidence and pharmacogenetics‐based drug dosing recommendations, on delivery psychiatric care enabled by medicine. Specifically, we conduct comprehensive evaluation effect CPIC guidelines serious...
High technology organizations need to develop new products or processes that address the dual goals of exploration and exploitation. The competing viewpoints asymmetric nature market returns associated with these in R&D projects can heighten stress levels among project team members reduce their psychological safety. While current research calls for greater focus on task design improving safety, we know little about how contextual factors affect this relationship. This study develops...
Organizations are becoming more reliant on projects to adapt and survive in an increasingly volatile, fast-moving, competitive environment (e.g., Ramasesh & Browning, 2014; Roehrich et al., 2023; Tatikonda Rosenthal, 2000). Terms such as “projectification” (Midler, 1995), “project society” (Lundin 2015), economy” (Nieto-Rodriguez, 2021) have been introduced describe the growth of involved delivering a large share temporary interorganizational activities research development (R&D), technology...
In recent years, there has been increasing pressure on the US federal government to reduce spending and improve management of its technology projects. Mitigating adverse impact risks performance these projects presents a significant challenge for stakeholders. Our research examines this in two steps. First, we identify define set salient projects—specifically, complexity risk contracting planning process, execution process. Next, investigate whether higher levels process maturity, assessed...
With supply chains now extending into developing countries, time and again, working conditions in supplier factories have been found to be unsafe. In this study, we focus on the Bangladesh ready-made garment industry that supplies North American European retailers. These retailers adopted an innovative approach toward improving of by forming consortiums. The consortium is Alliance for Worker Safety (“Alliance”). Accord Fire Building (“Accord”). central question addressed study following: How...
Abstract In R&D organizations of high tech firms, multiple projects are executed concurrently and timeliness project completion – i.e., developing the right products at times is a matter serious concern. Given that priority interdependencies between in firm change dynamically, management complex challenging endeavor. To improve understanding projects, this paper reports findings field study where we, first, develop empirically estimate model relates over time with generative mechanisms...
In a technology project, project integration represents the pooling together of complete, interdependent task modules to form physical product or software delivering desired functionality. This study develops and tests conceptual framework that examines interrelationships between elements work design, challenges, performance. We identify two distinct design in projects: (i) type organization based on whether spans firm boundary ( Domestic‐Outsourcing) country Offshore‐Insourcing) both...
Crowdsourcing contests are a popular way to seek innovative business solutions, but the availability of multiple can cause “lost time,” delay between contest’s start and solver’s first visit. This study examines how lost time affects solvers’ submission behavior its impact on matching inefficacy, measured by solver disqualification, which occurs when fails meet seeker’s baseline criteria. Using mediation analysis, we show that increase inefficacy because solvers spend less their initial...
This study examines how domestic and foreign firms in the private sector respond to a reduction competition from public sector. Our analysis exploits sudden suspension of production licenses vaccine-manufacturing units (PSUs) January 2008 India, home more than 1.2 billion people at that time. Although presented window opportunity for firms, was laden with high uncertainty. Despite this uncertainty, we find associated revenue gains driven by new product introductions these persist even after...
Problem definition: The opioid crisis has been called the worst drug in American history. Although myriad factors influencing this have examined, questions of whether and how diversion prescription (Rx) opioids from legal supply chain channels to illegal marketplaces contributes ongoing remain understudied. Methodology/results: We utilize enactment Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) cross-state variations initial Rx seizures, measured before policy intervention, investigate impacts...
This study examines the relationship between exogenous demand shock and market structure in India's influenza vaccine markets. Using a novel dataset of detailed purchasing information for vaccines India, exploiting 2009–10 global H1N1 pandemic as an shock, we provide evidence heterogeneous responses to by domestic multinational manufacturers relative our control group all other We find that such results reversal with decline share significant gains manufacturers. is driven increased efforts...
Public health supply chains are channels through which commodities distributed among end clients. In developing countries, significant resource constraints hamper the effective and efficient delivery of commodities, leading to chain failures such as “stock‐outs.” While prevalence commodity stock‐outs is well‐acknowledged, there little by way systematic rigorous empirical research that sheds light on factors drive in countries. The study documented this article anchored “logistics cycle”...
Formal contracts represent an important governance instrument with which firms exercise control of and compensate partners in R&D projects. The specific type contract used, however, can vary significantly across In some, firms' govern partnering relationships through fixed‐price contracts, whereas others, use more flexible time materials or performance‐based contracts. How do these choices affect the costs benefits that arise from greater levels partner integration? Furthermore, how are...

Technology projects today are being increasingly executed in project sourcing structures that span country boundaries. However, the performance implications of such offshoring efforts often ambiguous vis-à-vis those within Further, little is known about execution capabilities may be central to improving offshore technology projects. This study attempts shed light on above issues using data from distributed and across The findings twofold. First, a comparative analysis 702 reveals realize...
Global shocks bring unanticipated changes in the business environment of foreign multinational enterprises (MNEs) and rival domestic firms. We examine whether there is a difference between how MNEs firms react heterogeneous local or subnational markets to global demand shock. Leveraging 2009–2010 H1N1 influenza pandemic as source exogenous variation for vaccines, we investigate role heterogeneity economic resources, industry infrastructure, political alignment within an emerging economy on...
Abstract In the pursuit of low‐wage labor and access to technical talent, information technology (IT) projects today are often executed with sourcing structures that span boundaries a firm, country, or both. Although strategic implications have received considerable attention in theory practice, their from project execution standpoint—specifically, terms efficiency—remain under‐researched. Based on large primary dataset IT distributed structures, this paper documents findings theoretically...
Problem definition: Innovation contest platforms are often organized around specific fields and host contests that span a variety of interdependent problem domains. Whereas contestants may benefit from related experience in whose domains share an interdependency with the focal domain, it is unclear whether benefits arise symmetrically upstream (i.e., provide input information to domain) downstream use output or differ among them. Academic/practical relevance: Given innovation serve...
