TLDR
It is argued that experience codification gives rise to inertial forces that hamper the customization of routines to any given acquisition, and that successful acquirers develop higher-order routines that prevent the generalization of inapplicable ('zero-order') codified routines.Abstract:
Building on the codification and dynamic capabilities literatures, we pursue deeper insight into the underlying mechanisms of deliberate learning in the context of postacquisition integration. We argue that experience codification gives rise to inertial forces that hamper the customization of routines to any given acquisition. We theorize, therefore, that successful acquirers develop higher-order routines-as manifested in two complementary sets of concrete organizational practices-that prevent the generalization of inapplicable ('zero-order') codified routines. After drawing on in-depth qualitative data to help build our theoretical argument, we test it formally with unique survey data on 85 active acquirers.read more

Benefitting from Acquisition Experience During Integration: The Moderating Effect of Strategic M&A Intent
TL;DR: This article found that a strong strategic M&A intent influences the relationships between routinization and codified experience, and standardized acquisition integration approaches, and that experience can be captured and applied through standardized integration approaches.

A Duality Model of Dynamic Capabilities: Combining Routines and Improvisation
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors propose a duality model that conceives dynamic capabilities as based both on routines and on improvisation, highlighting the interdependence and complementarity between predictable stable routines and extemporaneous improvised actions that are both necessary to reliably achieve the (often radical) change needed to compete in highly dynamic environments.

The interplay between dynamic capabilities’ dimensions and their relationship to project portfolio agility and success
TL;DR: In this article , the authors quantitatively investigated the relationship between dynamic capabilities and project portfolio agility and success using a multi-informant, cross-industry sample of 135 project portfolios.
Journal ArticleDOI
The strategy-as-practice through the lens of the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities
TL;DR: In this article , the authors analyze strategy-as-practice, through the lens of the microfoundations of dynamic capabilities, and show that practical social activities are decisive in the process of building organizational strategies, creating armored dynamic capabilities.

The moderator–mediator variable distinction in social psychological research: Conceptual, strategic, and statistical considerations.
Reuben M. Baron,David A. Kenny +1 more
TL;DR: This article seeks to make theorists and researchers aware of the importance of not using the terms moderator and mediator interchangeably by carefully elaborating the many ways in which moderators and mediators differ, and delineates the conceptual and strategic implications of making use of such distinctions with regard to a wide range of phenomena.

Common method biases in behavioral research: a critical review of the literature and recommended remedies.
TL;DR: The extent to which method biases influence behavioral research results is examined, potential sources of method biases are identified, the cognitive processes through which method bias influence responses to measures are discussed, the many different procedural and statistical techniques that can be used to control method biases is evaluated, and recommendations for how to select appropriate procedural and Statistical remedies are provided.

The iron cage revisited institutional isomorphism and collective rationality in organizational fields
Paul DiMaggio,Walter W. Powell +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that rational actors make their organizations increasingly similar as they try to change them, and describe three isomorphic processes-coercive, mimetic, and normative.

Dynamic capabilities and strategic management
TL;DR: The dynamic capabilities framework as mentioned in this paper analyzes the sources and methods of wealth creation and capture by private enterprise firms operating in environments of rapid technological change, and suggests that private wealth creation in regimes of rapid technology change depends in large measure on honing intemal technological, organizational, and managerial processes inside the firm.
