TL;DR: It is argued that geographically localized social capital affects a firm's ability to innovate through various external channels and that being located in a region characterized by a high level of social capital leads to a higher propensity to innovate.
Abstract: To introduce new products, firms often use knowledge from other organizations. Drawing on social capital theory and the relational view of the firm, we argue that geographically localized social capital affects a firm's ability to innovate through various external channels. Combining data on social capital at the regional level, with a large-scale data set of the innovative activities of a representative sample of 2,413 Italian manufacturing firms from 21 regions, and controlling for a large set of firm and regional characteristics, we find that being located in a region characterized by a high level of social capital leads to a higher propensity to innovate. We find also that being located in an area characterized by a high degree of localized social capital is complementary to firms' investments in internal research and development (R&D) and that such a location positively moderates the effectiveness of externally acquired R&D on the propensity to innovate.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss various definitions of third party logistics and the theoretical background for the development of third-party arrangements, including both transaction cost theory and network theory, and develop a theoretical framework to explain the role and motivation for this development.
Abstract: The adoption of third party logistics is becoming widespread in the industry. Discusses various definitions of third party logistics and the theoretical background for the development of third party arrangements, including both transaction cost theory and network theory. A theoretical framework is then developed to explain the role and motivation for this development. Transaction cost analysis (TCA) explains the conditions under which third party agreements become preferable to the classical choice between market and hierarchy. Network theory explains the dynamics in third party cooperations. Three specific cases of third party logistics are included and analyzed on the bases of the theoretical framework. Concludes that third party logistics are not merely a means to cost efficiency, but also as a strategic tool for creating competitive advantage through increased service and flexibility. Furthermore, the discussion points to the importance of investment in human resources and change in attitudes as part of the success of third party arrangements.

TL;DR: For a sample of 210 Swiss publicly listed firms, this article analyzed the characteristics of all 1678 directors in the year 2003 in order to investigate how board members' nationality and gender interact with directors' level of independence, number of other directorships and demographic characteristics.
Abstract: For a sample of 210 Swiss publicly listed firms we analyse the characteristics of all 1678 directors in the year 2003 in order to investigate how board members' nationality and gender interact with directors' level of independence, number of other directorships and demographic characteristics. Our results suggest that whereas foreign directors tend to be more independent, women directors are more likely to be affiliated to firm management through family ties and that foreign directors hold significantly lower numbers of directorships at other Swiss boards. Female and foreign directors also differ in terms of educational background, educational level, age and board tenure. Some of our gender diversity findings are different from previous research. We conclude that in order to manage diversity on corporate boards it is imperative to understand the characteristics, qualifications and affiliations that these directors bring to the boardroom and that it is important to take national circumstances into account rather than relying on research results from other countries.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the predictability of stock returns using macroeconomic variables in 12 industrialized countries and employed recently developed out-of-sample tests that have increased power, namely, the McCracken [ Asymptotics for out-oftheoretic tests of Granger Causality, Manuscript, University of Missouri-Columbia (2004) and the West [ Econometrica 64 (1996) 1067] test for equal predictive ability.
