Entrepreneurs who decide to cooperate with their competitors must manage four phases of “coopetition”: launch, formalization, protection, and reinforcement. They engage in the coopetition process by referring to a professional logic that becomes dominant, and they complete the process by fostering a community logic that is combined with the professional logic. Identity and legitimacy are the key elements that entrepreneurs segregate and blend, which entails new combinations in the respective influential power of state logic, professional logic and community logic. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/40130 Title: Innovation Search Strategy and Predictable Returns <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Fitzgerald, Tristan; Balsmeier, Benjamin; Fleming, Lee; Manso, Gustavo http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39982 Title: The War of Rare Earth Elements: A Dynamic Game Approach <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Bertinelli, Luisito; Poncin, Stéphane Louis Maxim; Zou, Benteng <br/> <br/>Abstract: Rare earth elements govern today’s high-tech world and are deemed to be essential for the attainment of sustainable development goals. Since the 1990s, these elements have been predominantly supplied by one single actor, China. However, due to the increasing global relevance of their availability, other countries are now encouraged to enter the market. The objective of this paper is to analyze the strategic interactions among (potential) suppliers. In particular, we are interested in (1) the optimal timing for a newcomer (e.g. the U.S.) to enter the market, (2) the incumbent’s (i.e. China’s) optimal behavior, and (3) the cost-efficiency of cooperative vs. competitive market relations. By setting up a continuous-time dynamic game model, we show that (1) the newcomer should postpone the production launch until its rare earth reserves coincide with those of the incumbent, (2) the incumbent should strive for a late market entry and therefore keep its monopolistic resource extraction at the lowest possible level, (3) compared to the payoffs under competition, cooperation leads to a Pareto improvement when started at an early stage. The findings of our model are particularly relevant for the rational strategic positioning of the two great powers, America and China. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39834 Title: Resilience and innovative work behaviours of entrepreneurs: The moderating role of gender <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Geraudel, Mickaël; Cesinger, Beate; Gundolf, Katherine; Jaouen, Annabelle; Palmer, Carolin http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39833 Title: Toward a contingent model of talent management: The case of Aerospace SMEs in Luxembourg <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: USANOVA, Ksenia; Geraudel, Mickaël http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39832 Title: Innovative work behaviors of entrepreneurs: The role of resilience and satisfaction with life <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Palmer, Carolin; Jaouen, Annabelle; Gundolf, Katherine; Cesinger, Beate; Geraudel, Mickaël <br/> <br/>Abstract: We examine the antecedents of entrepreneurs’ innovative work behavior through the prism of two personality variables: resilience and satisfaction with life.

How Digitalization Influences Job Creation and Destruction <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Balsmeier, Benjamin; Wörter, Martin <br/> <br/>Abstract: With the process of digitalization now in full swing, many are wondering how the adoption of new technologies influences job creation and destruction. Much hinges upon the specific tasks that machines take on and how many new tasks are created through the adoption of new digital technologies. Some argue that most tasks that are at risk of automation are those performed by rather low- to medium-skilled employees, while most new tasks that emerge from the adoption of digital technologies complement high-skilled labor. We present evidence derived from representative survey data from Switzerland that is consistent with this view. Specifically, we find that increased investment in digitalization is associated with increased employment of high-skilled workers and reduced employment of low-skilled workers, with a slightly positive net effect. The main effects are almost entirely driven by firms that employ machine-based digital technologies, e.g. robots, 3D printing or the Internet of Things. We do not find any significant employment effects when non-machine-based digital technologies are considered, e.g. ERP, e-commerce or cooperation support systems. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39182 Title: The impact of skilled immigrants on their local teammates’ performance <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Balsmeier, Benjamin; Hickfang, Michael; Frick, Bernd http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39005 Title: Knowledge Sharing in a Coopetition Project Team: An Institutional Logics Perspective <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: D'Armagnac, Sophie; Geraudel, Mickaël; Salvetat, David <br/> <br/>Abstract: Cooperation between firms is often addressed from the perspective of relationship organizing; however, we know little about people’s working-level engagement in collective action during interfirm projects. Focusing on cooperation between rival firms (coopetition), this paper explores how knowledge can be shared among participants. We conduct a case study of a joint-project team composed of staff from rival firms. Using the principles of grounded theory, we identify four distinct modes of knowledge sharing. By interpreting these modes in terms of temporalities and influential social structures, we develop an understanding of how individual engagement promotes knowledge sharing in an inter-firm coopetitive project. The study reexamines emerging orientations (cooperation and competition) according to institutional logics (market, corporation, and community) and temporalities. It also offers insight into the management of inter-organizational projects that are viewed as temporary organizations. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/39004 Title: Unintended triadic closure in social networks: The strategic formation of research collaborations between French inventors. <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Carayol, Nicolas; Berge, Laurent; Cassi, Lorenzo; Roux, Pascale http://hdl.handle.net/10993/38372 Title: Information Ambiguity, Patents and the Market Value of Innovative Assets <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Hussinger, Katrin; Pacher, Sebastian http://hdl.handle.net/10993/38371 Title: Guilt by Association: How Scientific Misconduct Harms Prior Collaborators <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Hussinger, Katrin; Pellens, Maikel http://hdl.handle.net/10993/37279 Title: Essays on M&As and Innovation <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Fernandez de Arroyabe Arranz, Marta http://hdl.handle.net/10993/36334 Title: Access to Medical Technologies: Do Gender and Social Capital Matter? <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Geraudel, Mickaël; Gundolf, Katherine; Cesinger, Beate; Constantinidis, Christina <br/> <br/>Abstract: We explore the relationship between the characteristics of social capital, the speed of access to medical technologies and the role of gender in a private practice context. Our findings from a sample of 98 German private practitioners show that: (a) being a woman has an overall negative impact on the speed of access to medical technologies; (b) private practitioners with strong social network ties obtain quicker access to medical technologies than do those with weak ties; (c) men relying on their weak ties perform better than women who do so. In contrast, we observe that women relying on strong ties outperform their male counterparts in terms of speed of access to medical technologies. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/36058 Title: La communauté de pratique pilotée comme vecteur d’innovation organisationnelle en contexte d’établissement public <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Obringer, Lisa; Benedic, Michael; Geraudel, Mickaël http://hdl.handle.net/10993/36056 Title: In refugees we trust: Exploring social capital formation from scratch <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Iannone, Rosa Lisa; Geraudel, Mickaël <br/> <br/>Abstract: We are currently witnessing the highest levels of displaced people in history, with close to 66 million in a state of forced migration (UNHCR, 2017). Such numbers have placed a lot of stress on hosting countries to find solutions for both the social and economic integration of these populations, and in particular, refugees (Bloch, 2014; Lyon, Sepulveda & Syrett, 2007; Phillimore & Goodson, 2006). As Ram, Theodorakopoulos and Jones (2008) have suggested, small businesses and entrepreneurships by migrants illustrates their super-diversity, while highlighting an important labour option through which integration and independence may be achieved. Both opportunity-driven and necessity-driven, refugee entrepreneurs opt for selfemployment in their new countries of residence. In a notable contribution to our knowledge on the phenomenon, Sternberg, von Bloh and Brixy (2016) have evidenced that refugees may even be more likely to start businesses than natives. In accordance, they must often build entirely new social capital (SC) prior to business start-up, also as a strategy for overcoming other types of capital disadvantage. Recent studies that consider SC in relation to refugee entrepreneurship (Basok, 1993; van Kooy, 2016; Bizri, 2017; Sandberg, Immonen & Kok, in press) have emphasised the need to build critical contacts in new countries of residence, given the high value and instrumentality weak ties can bring. There is still a dearth of knowledge regarding refugee entrepreneurship in general, and their processes of SC formation for business start-up in particular. To address this lack of insight, we are undertaking a study that examines the processes of nascent entrepreneurs in a central European capital city. The study explores how SC is created in situations where nascent entrepreneurs are forced to ‘start from scratch’. That is, refugees engaging in entrepreneurial activity, who are dependent on relationships when starting their business, but have little or nothing to draw from. Leading from this, the research question undertaken in this study is a processual one: how do refugee entrepreneurs build the SC they require to start their businesses? In this paper, we adopt the threefold perspective of SC, as defined by Nahapiet and Ghoshall (1998): structural, cognitive and relational. Interrelated, the first deals with the discernable features – network ties – that link actors. The cognitive dimension manifests through shared language, narratives and codes, while the latter deals especially with bonds that emerge between actors, associated with trust, trustworthiness, obligations and expectations, as well as identity and identification. Over time, and through repeated and reciprocal interactions, SC ties may strengthen, while “relational embeddedness” extends. The source of SC, the initial formation of SC, examined through values is what we endeavour to examine. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/35779 Title: Bridging centrality as an indicator to measure the 'bridging role' of actors in networks: An application to the European Nanotechnology co-publication network <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Berge, Laurent; Scherngell, Thomas; Wanzenböck, Iris <br/> <br/>Abstract: In the recent past, we can observe growing interest in STI studies in the notion of positioning indicators, shifting emphasis to actors in the innovation process and their R&D inter-linkages with other actors. In relation to this, we suggest a new approach for assessing the positioning of actors relying on the notion of bridging centrality (BC). Based on the concept of bridging paths, i.e. a set of two links connecting three actors across three different aggregate nodes (e.g. organisations, or regions), we argue that triangulation in networks is a key issue for knowledge recombinations and the extension of an actor’s knowledge base. As bridges are most often not empirically observable at the individual level of research teams, we propose an approximated BC measure that provides a flexible framework for dealing with the aggregation problem in positioning actors. Hereby, BC is viewed as a function of an aggregate node's (i) participation intensity in the network, (ii) its openness to other nodes (i.e. the relative outward orientation of network links), and iii) the diversification of links to other nodes. In addition, we propose a generalised version of the BC measure that accounts for different node categories. An illustrative example on the European Nanotechnology co-publication network observed at the level of organisations demonstrates the usefulness and complementary interpretation power in comparison to conventional centrality measures. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/35776 Title: Centrality of regions in R&D networks: A new measurement approach using the concept of bridging paths <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Berge, Laurent; Wanzenbock, Iris; Scherngell, Thomas <br/> <br/>Abstract: This paper aims at introducing a novel measure of regional centrality in the context of R&D networks. We first demonstrate some substantial problems of SNA-based centrality measures to cope with regional R&D networks in a meaningful way. Then, we introduce a new measurement approach of regional network centrality based on the concept of inter-regional bridging paths (indirect connections at the regional level). We show that the formal definition of our regional bridging centrality measure can be expressed in terms of three simple components: the participation intensity of a region in inter-regional R&D collaborations, the relative outward orientation in terms of all established links and the diversification of R&D collaborations among partner regions. We illustrate the measure and its behaviour with respect to other conventional centrality measures by using the example of the European co-patent network at the NUTS2 level. http://hdl.handle.net/10993/35761 Title: Devenir entrepreneur en partant de ses passions <br/> <br/>Author, co-author: Geraudel, Mickaël
