INSITE Research Seminar guest Frank Rothaermel (Strategic Management, Georgia Tech) on innovative performance

Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2008
Topic: INSITE Research Seminar guest Frank Rothaermel, Associate Professor of Strategic Management at Georgia Tech, will discuss his current work with Andrew Hess which examines two mechanisms that firms can employ to build dynamic capabilities: (1) recruiting and retaining intellectual human capital and (2) engaging in strategic alliances.

Utilizing an exploration-exploitation framework of organizational learning activities, the authors analyze longitudinal data on 108 pharmaceutical firms' adaptation to biotechnology over a 30-year time period. The authors suggest that building dynamic capabilities within the same activity compensate for one another, while building these capacities across activities positively reinforce one another and thus enhance a firm's innovative performance.

Professor Rothaermel has been published in the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Organization Science, Strategic Management Journal, and elsewhere. He currently serves on the editorial boards of the Academy of Management Journal, Academy of Management Review, Strategic Management Journal, and Strategic Organization (SO!). He has received numerous awards for his scholarship.
