TLDR
This study examines how product innovation contributes to the renewal of the firm through its dynamic and reciprocal relation with the firm's competences through field research in five high-tech firms of varying age, size, and level of diversification.Abstract:
This study examines how product innovation contributes to the renewal of the firm through its dynamic and reciprocal relation with the firm's competences Field research in five high-tech firms of varying age, size, and level of diversification is combined with analysis of existing theory to develop the findings of the study Based on the notion that new products are created by linking competences relating to technologies and customers, a typology is derived that classifies new product projects based on whether a new product can draw on existing competences, or whether it requires competences the firm does not yet have Following organizational learning theory, these options are conceptualized as exploitation and exploration These organizational learning concepts are used to gain a dynamic and path-dependent view of product innovation and firm development, and to reveal the unique nature and challenges of different types of product innovation Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltdread more

Dynamic capabilities: A review and research agenda
TL;DR: In this paper, a research model is developed encompassing antecedents and consequences of dynamic capabilities in an integrated framework, and several issues surrounding its conceptualization remain ambivalent, and the authors identify three component factors which reflect the common features of dynamic capability across firms and which may be adopted and further developed into a measurement construct in future research.

Underinvestment and Incompetence as Responses to Radical Innovation: Evidence from the Photolithographic Alignment Equipment Industry
TL;DR: In this article, a detailed field study of the photolithographic alignment equipment industry was conducted and it was shown that established firms invested more than entrants in incremental innovation, but that in agreement with organizational theory, the research efforts of incumbents seeking to exploit radical innovation were significantly less productive than those of entrants.

Distinguishing control from learning in total quality management: a contingency perspective
TL;DR: In this article, a broader, more theory-driven perspective on TQM is proposed to clearly distinguish control from learning goals and, thus, to begin to address limitations in the way total quality management has been conceptualized and applied in the past.
