  • theories from the lab how research on science commercialization can contribute to management studies
    Journal of Management Studies, 2019
    Co-Authors: Riccardo Fini, Einar Rasmussen, Johan Wiklund, Mike Wright
    Abstract:

    Universities and research centres have long been used to study management issues. A growing body of research has focused on how science can be effectively commercialized, emphasizing technology commercialization activities, university–industry collaborations, and academic entrepreneurship. While much of this work has documented empirical relationships, our aim in this introductory article of the special issue is to show how research on science commercialization may yield conceptual contributions to the field of management. Hence, we first discuss the importance of context for Theory Development. We then review how the science commercialization context has been used for Theory Development, identifying two facets used to conceptualize science commercialization (i.e., managing the transition between institutional contexts, and the multiple goals and impacts of actors engaging in science commercialization). This forms the basis for discussing what makes this context suited for Theory Development in general management and for outlining a future research agenda. We conclude by summarizing the papers in the special issue.

  • theories from the lab how research on science commercialization can contribute to management studies

    Co-Authors: Riccardo Fini, Einar Rasmussen, Johan Wiklund, Mike Wright
    Abstract:

    Universities and research centres have long been used to study management issues. A growing body of research has focused on how science can be effectively commercialized, emphasizing technology-commercialization activities, university-industry collaborations, and academic entrepreneurship. While much of this work has documented empirical relationships, our aim in this introductory paper of the special issue is to show how research on science commercialization may yield conceptual contributions to the field of management. Hence, we first discuss the importance of context for Theory Development and how science commercialization can be a promising setting for making contributions to management Theory. We then review how the science commercialization context has been used for Theory Development, identifying two facets used by scholars to conceptualize science commercialization (i.e., managing the lengthy complex process of transition between institutional contexts, and the multiple goals and impacts of actors engaging in science commercialization). This forms the basis for discussing what makes this context particularly suited for Theory-Development in general management and for outlining a future research agenda. We conclude by summarizing the papers in the special issue.

  • collective assessment of the human resources management field meta analytic needs and Theory Development prospects for the future
    Human Resource Management Review, 2017
    Co-Authors: Shanna R Daniels, Gang Wang, Diane Lawong, Gerald R Ferris
    Abstract:

    Abstract The other articles in this special issue of Human Resource Management Review present meta-analyses of specific topic areas, or articles on methodological issues associated with meta-analyses, within the human resources management field. Ours is a bit different in that we do not present actual meta-analytic results, but instead conduct a thorough review of the field in order to identify areas where meta-analyses have not been conducted. Then, we discuss why such analyses have not been provided, suggestions for how we might like to see research proceed in such areas, and also implications for Theory Development in these areas of the field. We conclude our paper with some additional thoughts on issues to keep in mind as we seek to utilize meta-analysis to its fullest potential, and thus yield the best results possible.

  • Theory Development in operations management extending the frontiers of a mature discipline via qualitative research
    Decision Sciences, 2014
    Co-Authors: Ram Narasimhan
    Abstract:

    This invited paper discusses Theory Development in operations management. Many stellar researchers have made excellent contributions to Theory Development in our field. Operations management is a maturing discipline. Recently, Theory driven empirical research has become common in top-tier journals in our field. Impelled by this trend and due to the path dependency of research, in general, researchers have examined operations phenomena using theories from management and organizational science. How do we extend the frontiers of knowledge in our maturing discipline? How do we develop theories within the field of operations management? In examining some of the seminal ideas that have shaped our field, a common characteristic is that they relied on observational studies and conceptual reasoning. Is it time for us to stress the usefulness of qualitative research methods in our field? Could this lead to an intellectual renewal in our field and extend the frontier of a maturing discipline? This paper explores these questions and advances the notion that qualitative analysis needs to be emphasized more than it has been in recent past. This paper is meant to provoke discussion among empirical researchers in operations management.
