▼ In this dissertation, I explore the
interorganizational relationships of young entrepreneurial firms.
In the first essay, I examine how the relationship of a young
entrepreneurial firm with a corporate venture capital (CVC) affects
the firm’s R&D investment strategy. In the second essay, I
investigate how a strategic alliance formed by a young
entrepreneurial firm influences the strategic benefits of a CVC
firm. In the third essay, I examine how relationships of a young
entrepreneurial firm with major customers affect the profitability
of the firm. By exploring the interorganizational relationships of
young entrepreneurial firms, this dissertation attempts to
understand better how young entrepreneurial firms interact with
stakeholders surrounding them. ❧ In the first essay, I examine the
effects of CVC ownership and founder incumbency on R&D
investment strategy of a young entrepreneurial firm. R&D
investment strategy is one of the most important resource
allocation decisions that investors and top-level managers make,
and it is particularly important for young entrepreneurial firms in
technology-intensive industries. Although prior studies have
examined how different types of ownership affect R&D investment
strategy in large public corporations, we still know little about
corporate governance–related determinants of R&D investment
strategy in young entrepreneurial firms. To fill this research gap,
I focus on the most significant stakeholders in young
entrepreneurial firms (i.e., venture capital firms, corporate
venture capital firms, and founders) and argue that CVC ownership
and founder incumbency positively affect R&D investment
strategy in entrepreneurial firms. I found empirical evidence
supporting my hypotheses. ❧ In the second essay, I explore when a
strategic alliance formed by a portfolio company creates strategic
benefits for its CVC firm. Prior studies show that CVC investments
create value for investing firms by providing learning
opportunities and a window on new technologies. Focusing on the
conditions which facilitate knowledge transfer from a portfolio
company to a CVC firm, I argue that strategic benefits that a CVC
firm captures from a strategic alliance formed by a portfolio
company is positively associated with the industry relatedness
between the CVC and its portfolio company. Moreover, I argue this
effect will be more salient 1) as a CVC’s absorptive capacity
increases and 2) when a CVC and its portfolio company are located
geographically close because the CVC’s absorptive capacity provides
the foundation upon which the CVC learns better from the portfolio
company and proximity allows a CVC to capture more effectively
knowledge from its portfolio company. In a sample of alliances
formed by CVC-backed U.S.-based startups, I found evidence. This
study expands the scope of sources for strategic benefits in CVC
investments. ❧ In the third essay, I study the relationship between
a young firm and its major customers. In particular, I examine how
the major customer dependence of a young firm affects…

▼ Organizations quantify increasingly diverse types of
decision-making processes. Traditionally, many scholars
conceptualize quantification as a means of rationalizing
decision-making processes, wherein organizational leaders strive to
control business processes and eliminate human bias. Recently,
however, other scholars have suggested that quantification of
decision-making processes often reflect political compromises that
resolve conflicts between competing interests. To develop theory to
explain the tension between these perspectives, I ask the research
question, how do organizations quantify decision-making processes?
To answer this question, I engage in participant observation of
Gaming Expert and Algo-Security, two organizations that use game
theory to quantify decision-making in the security industry. While
prior research emphasizes the role of quantification in
rationalizing business processes or resolving political conflict,
my study shows that quantifying decision-making processes leads to
a different outcome. Specifically, quantification functions as a
cultural tool or an “enchanted algorithm” that organizational
actors draw on to develop innovative approaches to overcome
perennial organizational challenges. By offering an empirically
grounded analysis of how organizations quantify decision-making, I
contribute to strategy research on the emergence of routines and
capabilities, as well as research on organizational decision-making
more broadly.

▼ Strategic alliances, or interorganizational
relationships, are a prevalent strategy used to achieve
organizational goals. Along with the increasing prevalence of
alliances has come a heightened need to understand the dynamics of
these relationships, as approximately half of the alliances entered
fail (Kale, Dyer & Singh, 2002). This research, therefore,
seeks to expand on our current understanding of alliance capability
development by exploring the effects of specific types of alliance
and technological experience as well as their interactions on new
alliance formation and performance. Using the resource based view
of the firm as a theoretical framework, this research finds that
firms are significantly more likely to enter into alliance types,
and with specific alliance partners, with which they have past
experience. The RBV notion that firm resources will be utilized in
strategic decisions is supported by this finding. Experience in a
particular product area was also found to increase the likelihood
of firms entering into non-R&D type relationships suggesting
the use of alliance relationships to capitalize on or seek to
exploit product specific resources in the alliance context.
Alliance experience in general was found to positively influence
the performance of alliance relationships, while specific types of
alliance experience were only found to influence performance when
entering into that type of relationship. In this way, firms seem to
develop distinct capabilities in specific alliance types that are
not necessarily easily transferred from one relationship type to
another.

▼ In this dissertation I discuss two empirical studies
that examine how different types of firms in the biopharmaceutical
industry approach different types of challenges posed by radical
and uncertain technological change. In the first empirical essay I
explore the role of different sources of experience in
understanding incumbent pharmaceutical firms' decisions to develop
new drugs. In the second empirical essay I explore how emerging new
biotechnology ventures make alliance partner selection decisions as
a function of both partner attractiveness and the risks of
appropriation that arise from establishing alliances with incumbent
pharmaceuticals.; In the first essay I examine the effects of
different types of experience on the number of new products that a
pharmaceutical firm develops for specific therapeutic areas. I
focus on two sources of experience: a firm's internal experience
and the experience of the members of the board of directors. First,
I find that a firm's internal experience, which arises from prior
new-product developments, has a curvilinear effect on the extent of
new-product developments for a specific therapeutic area. Second, I
provide evidence that the extent of new-product developments is
explained by the directors' experience gained from participating in
the new-product development activities of other organizations.
Finally, I provide evidence that the directors' experience shapes
the way in which the firm's internal experience affects the extent
of new-product developments for a specific therapeutic area. These
findings suggest that directors' experience may help firms overcome
the constraints they face when trying to exploit their internal
experience through new product developments.; In the second essay I
explore how new biotechnology firms (NBFs) select pharmaceutical
firms as R&D allies as a function of partner attractiveness and
appropriation risks. I find that NBFs are more likely to ally with
pharmaceutical firms that have the following two capabilities: (1)
the ability to understand the NBF's technology (technological
relatedness), and (2) strong development competences. Yet, I
provide evidence showing that these positive effects of
technological relatedness and a pharmaceutical firm's development
experience on the likelihood of establishing an R&D alliance
are negatively moderated by the pharmaceutical firm's therapeutic
area diversity and the NBF's technology breadth. These findings
suggest that NBFs see pharmaceutical firms' development experience
and technological relatedness as increasing appropriation risks
(rather than partner attractiveness) when the NBF's knowledge is
broadly applicable or when the pharmaceutical firm is highly
diversified across many therapeutic domains.

▼ In the context of interfirm alliances, this
dissertation analyzes partners’ alliance experience as a
multi-dimensional construct, and examines the effects of experience
dimensions on governance decisions and on market value creations.
This dissertation focuses on the governance aspect of experience,
or the extent to which a firm has managed focused or diverse
alliance governance structures. A firm’s experience of prior
alliances can be characterized by the depth in a specific
governance form and the breadth of diverse governance forms.
In-depth experience creates governing capabilities that are
specific to a focal structure and result in exploitation of the
same structure. Diverse governance experience broadens the range of
alliance-related knowledge, and lead to better informed governance
decisions by the creation of selection capabilities. In the first
empirical essay, I examine a model that integrates both contractual
hazards and experience-based capabilities to predict governance
decisions. The second essay takes a further step by examining how
the stock market responds to experience factors when evaluating
events of new alliance formation. In a sample of alliances formed
by US software companies, I find strong empirical evidence for the
argument of multi-dimensional experience in affecting strategic
decisions and value creations.

(more)
▼ When an M&A contract contains an earnout clause, a
performance-contingent consideration provision, the value of the
deal can be framed as: 1) total potential consideration, the sum of
the guaranteed upfront payment and the contingent payment, or 2)
guaranteed consideration, the upfront payment with the possibility
of earning additional payment. The way the parent firm frames the
merger value influences how retained target managers perceive the
earnout. They view the earnout as a potential loss if the deal
value is framed in terms of total consideration and as a potential
gain if the deal value is framed in terms of guaranteed
consideration. Prospect theory suggests that the contrasting views
lead to different behavioral risk profiles. Under a total
consideration frame, retained target management displays
risk-seeking behavior in an attempt to avert certain loss.
Alternatively, if the merger value is framed in terms of guaranteed
consideration, they display risk-averse behavior in an attempt to
preserve the gain. Parent firms have specific goals for different
mergers. Because risk-seeking behavior may be more appropriate to
accomplish one merger goal, but not another, it is important to
understand when to use total or guaranteed consideration frames to
induce risk-seeking or risk-averse behavior, respectively. When
deal frames are strategically aligned with parent merger goals,
retained target management has a higher likelihood of displaying
the behavior desired by the parent, leading to a greater
probability that the parent’s merger goal will be met and retained
target management will receive the earnout payment.

▼ Previous studies have emphasized that independent
boards of directors with formal power and financial incentives
should be an effective monitoring mechanism. Research on board
independence, however, has largely overlooked the possibility that
independent directors may differ from one another in terms of work
experience that they have acquired from their primary occupations
and from serving on the focal firm s board of directors. This
dissertation research aims to examine the effects of board
experience at multiple levels (task, job, team, firm, and industry)
on firm performance in the context of CEO selection – one of the
most important decisions that a board of directors makes. Drawing
upon the resource-based view of the firm, learning theory, and the
upper echelon perspective, I argue that boards of directors are
likely to make better CEO selection decisions when independent
directors have worked as CEOs themselves and have experience of
working together on the focal firm s board. Experience of working
in the firm s primary industry and experience with the task of
hiring a CEO also help improve board effectiveness in CEO
selection. Effects of board experience were examined in a sample of
242 new CEO appointments that occurred in 226 large, publicly
traded U.S. manufacturing firms from 1999 to 2003. I examined both
stock price reactions to the announcements of new CEO selection and
post-succession accounting performance of the firm. Results show
that, after controlling for the effects of board independence,
succession event characteristics, and other organizational /
environmental factors, board experience explained a substantial
proportion of variances in stock and accounting performance.
Moreover, industry instability and firm performance prior to CEO
succession were found to moderate the effects of various types of
board experience.; Overall, board experience had a positive impact
not only on stock market investors' expectations for future firm
value but also on realized post-succession firm performance. In
response to the increasing attention to board accountability for
significant organizational decisions, this study shows that
context-specific, history-dependent work experience of directors is
the key to understanding board effectiveness in CEO selection. The
findings also have important implications for director selection
practices.
