Changes in unrelated variety and climbing the poverty ladder: a U-shaped relationship

European Planning Studies Doi: 10.1080/09654313.2022.2136485 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

The purpose of this paper is to study how changes in unrelated variety influence individuals’ poverty alleviation. Drawing on the LiTS III database, we employed the Oprobit model to test 5007 individual-level observations from 23 regions in four former Yugoslavian countries. All results imply that the changes in unrelated variety have a U-shaped relationship with individuals’ poverty alleviation. Our findings enrich the unrelated variety research by providing micro-level evidence and offer practical insights for governments, organizations and individuals aiming to reduce poverty.

The mediating role of cash slack in the related variety and sales growth relationship: Evidence from Norway

Norsk Geografisk Tidsskrift, 76(1), s. 29- 41. Doi: 10.1080/00291951.2022.2032821 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

The purpose of the paper is to uncover how related industrial variety influences firms’ sales growth through firms’ cash slack. The authors applied a causal steps approach and causal mediation analysis to a very large number of observations covering more than three-quarters of Norway’s municipalities. They found that cash slack had a mediation effect in the negative relationship between related variety and sales growth, and that the regression results were robust. They conclude that the results of the study expand both related variety studies by providing a theoretical microlevel foundation, and firm growth theory by showing that cash slack is a concrete mechanism connecting external industrial environment and firm growth.

Unpacking the U-shaped relationship between related variety and firm sales: Evidence from Japan

Papers in Regional Science, 100(5) Doi: 10.1111/pirs.12608 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

The purpose of this paper is to study how related variety influences firm sales. We apply an instrumental variable method (as well as the most recent plausible instrumental variable method in robustness tests) to analyze more than 600,000 firm observations in all of Japan's 47 prefectures. We find that related variety, as a kind of regional industrial structure, has a U-shaped relationship with firm sales. This finding enriches the related variety perspective by supplementing micro-level evidence, revealing that the “related variety–firm sales” relationship is not linear, as most prior studies have suggested.

Benchmarking of Singapore maritime cluster: the role of cluster facilitators

Benchmarking : An International Journal Doi: 10.1108/BIJ-11-2020-0574 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

Purpose This article analyses the role of cluster facilitators in the Singapore maritime cluster. Singapore has been recognised for its pro-business policies and its ability to attract international shipping companies to set up the ship ownership headquarters and ship management activities in Singapore. Design/methodology/approach The research is an empirical investigation on the approach for industrial cluster development of the Singapore maritime cluster, using the case study research methodology. The case study approach leverages on multiple sources of evidence from deep interviews (of 24 Singaporean firms and 13 Norwegian firms) related observations, documentation and archival records. As a means of contributing to the cluster renewal process, Singapore as the country embarks on the next stage of maritime cluster development, a benchmarking against the Norwegian Innovation Cluster has been incorporated. Findings The research findings reveals that Singapore is lacking in innovation activities that entails multi-firms collaborations and collaboration between multi-firms and research institutions. The existence of cluster organisation to facilitate collaborations between firms in the cluster and between firms in the cluster with research institutions is another contributing factor that are not institutionalised in the Singapore maritime cluster. Research limitations/implications Though the research is grounded primarily on the international business theory, particularly from firm- and country-specific advantages of location decisions, the economic geography theory and cluster theory also complement the theoretical grounding. Practical implications The findings derived from this research aim to facilitate policy makers, maritime leaders and practitioners to develop effective courses of action in current and future maritime industry development. Originality/value The research provides value to maritime industry stakeholders, maritime leaders and policy makers in their firm positioning strategy. Thus, the research adds values to the maritime industry with similar country perspectives and firm values for developing policies.

Sales growth or employment growth? Exporting conundrum for new ventures

Review of International Business and Strategy Doi: 10.1108/RIBS-04-2020-0048 - Fulltekst i vitenarkiv

Purpose Previous studies primarily focus on how to achieve better performance in the international markets, but few centers on whether internationalization is a promising strategy for new ventures’ growth and development. Based on two pioneering frameworks Conservative, Predictable, and Pacemaker (CPP) model and the 7-P model, this paper fills this gap by analyzing how exporting exert heterogeneous effects on two types of growth, sales growth and employment growth. Accordingly, this paper aims to favor market-oriented new ventures to make a strategy on expanding international markets. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on firm-level data from the Chinese Industrial Enterprises Database. The year 2005 was used as the shock year. By conducting the propensity score matching method, 793 couples of matched new ventures were collected with sales growth and 686 couples with employment growth. The difference-in-differences method was applied to analyze the various influences that exporting has on new ventures’ sales growth and employment growth. Findings The main finding of this paper is that new ventures that exported can achieve better sales growth than their counterparts that only operated domestically, whereas new ventures that remain in the domestic market have no difference in employment growth from those that exported. Research limitations/implications This study shows that exporting is especially beneficial for market-seeking new ventures. Because the study is based on Chinese data, scholars of international business can conduct further research on other countries with different economic structures. Originality/value Theoretically, this paper contributes to both international business theory and entrepreneurship theory by combining the CPP model and the 7-P model. Practically, this paper shows that exports mainly benefit the sales growth of new ventures. This suggests that business practitioners should consider their growth goals before they choose to enter the global market.

THE EVOLUTION PROCESS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP STUDIES IN THE 21ST CENTURY: RESEARCH INSIGHTS FROM TOP BUSINESS AND ECONOMICS JOURNALS

Journal of economic surveys, 34(4), s. 922- 951. Doi: 10.1111/joes.12365

The present study involves a literature survey of 1710 entrepreneurship papers published in 28 top business and economics journals in 12 research disciplines. This paper finds that despite increased recognition of the importance of entrepreneurship, the research literature on entrepreneurship remains fragmented. Studies of entrepreneurship processes have been the dominant theme, but new issues of entrepreneurship are emerging. Based on the entrepreneurship reviewed, this paper summarizes potential research directions

Future Prospects of Marine Aquaculture

IEEE, Oceans (red.). OCEANS 2018 MTS/IEEE Charleston

As a part of the OECD project The Future of the Ocean Economy (OECD 2016), a report on the Future Prospects of Marine Aquaculture industry towards 2030 was developed to assess risks and uncertainties around future developments. This paper is based on the report and the respective authors were lead experts for the workshop and authors of the OECD report. Global demand for seafood is expected to continue to rise over the next decades, because of increased world population, growing purchasing power and more people entering the middle class. It is expected that most of the future growth in seafood production will be through aquaculture and that expansion in aquaculture production capacity will occur in the ocean, with some of it moving increasingly offshore to escape the constraints in coastal waters. The list of technical and non-technical challenges for further growth of the marine aquaculture sectors is diverse, including development of technology and operational practices for open ocean farming technology of both fed and non-fed species, technology for less labour-intensive farming operations for industrialisation of non-fed aquaculture, new omega 3 rich feed resources for fin fish farming, and development of international legal framework for ocean and marine activities.

A literature review of cluster theory: Are relations among clusters important?

Journal of economic surveys, 32(4), s. 1201- 1220. Doi: 10.1111/joes.12255

Having reviewed 1259 papers on cluster theory, we find that current cluster studies primarily discussed cluster phenomena from either a microlevel or mesolevel. We argue that studying relations among clusters would increase our understanding of clusters, and such a research topic is worth becoming a new research orientation for cluster theory.

Inter-firm governance and structural power in industrial relationships: the moderating effect of bargaining power on the contractual safeguarding of specific assets

Scandinavian Journal of Management, 18(3), s. 261- 284. Doi: 10.1016/S0956-5221(01)00018-5

In the basic model of transaction cost analysis (TCA), neither market power nor power based on resource-dependence plays a significant role. In this article, we extend the TCA-perspective by combining resource-dependence theory (RDT) and TCA, and examine whether the buyer's bargaining power influences the alignment of the contractual safeguarding of buyer-specific and supplier-specific investments. Data from a survey of 160 industrial purchasing relationships provide empirical support for our theoretical predictions. The empirical findings demonstrate that the buyer's bargaining power does interfere with the safeguarding of relations-specific assets. As the buyer's relative bargaining power increases, the safeguarding of buyer-specific assets is substantially reinforced. On the other hand, the contractual protection of supplier-specific assets is significantly relaxed as the buyer's bargaining power grows. Our findings indicate that there is a tension between the alignment of contractual safeguarding arrangements and structural power in inter-firm business, and that resource-dependence considerations offer an important complement to TCA when we consider the transacting parties' ability to provide contractual safeguards for assets at risk. Further, the findings indicate that the establishment of relational ties in long-term relationships is an important antecendent to governance structure. The empirical findings demonstrate that the longer a business-to-business relationship lasts, the more the contractual governance is relaxed.

Asymmetrical deployment of specific assets and contractual safeguarding in industrial purchasing relationships

Journal of Business Research, 51(2), s. 101- 113. Doi: 10.1016/S0148-2963(99)00056-9

The marketing literature based on transaction cost analysis (TCA) has only scantily explored whether the identity of the party (i.e. the buyer or the supplier) that employs specific assets is of importance in instances when alignments of contractual safeguards of specific assets occur in buyer-supplier relationships. Imbalanced deployment of specific assets highlights the problem of asymmetrical dependence in purchasing relationships. This article draws heavily on TCA and related works in marketing in an attempt to analyze and compare interfirm dependence, exposure to opportunism, and formalization of purchase contracting (FORM) across channel dyads where the buyer and the supplier respectively carry out relation-specific investments. In particularan investigation of 161 industrial purchasing relationships demonstrated that the level of formalized purchase contracting was significantly greater when the supplier unilaterally deployed specific assets in a relationship as opposed to situations where mainly the buyer employed assets at risk. This and other findings clarify the issue of asymmetrical dependence structures in industrial marketing relationships.

Does structural power effect safeguarding of specific assets in industrial buyer-seller relationships?

[Report]. Stiftelsen for samfunns- og næringslivsforskning.

Neither market power nor resource-dependency based power does play a significant role in the basic model of transaction cost economics (TCE). In this article the authors extend the transaction cost economics perspective by combining resource-dependency theory (RDT) and TCE, and analyze whether power-dependency structures influence investor's ability to safeguard own specific assets. Data from a survey of 180 industrial purchasing relationships give empirical support to their theoretical predictions. Their empirical findings indicate that both buyer and supplier deploying specific assets in a relationship get less contractual protection of their assets at risk as the dependency of their trading partner increases.
