Corporate venture capital, disembodied experimentation and capability development
Studies invoking a capabilities lens often ascribe deliberateness in organizational decisions to develop new capabilities. Drawing on five longitudinal case studies of large, global firms in the information and communication technology sector, we examine how firms engender cognizance of their future capability needs in situations characterized by high decision-making uncertainty. We…

Exploration, exploitation, and financial performance: analysis of S&P 500 corporations
The literature suggests that established firms need to balance their exploration and exploitation activities in order to achieve superior performance. Yet, previous empirical research has modeled this balance as the interaction of orthogonal activities. In this study, we show that there is a trade-off between exploration and exploitation and that the optimal balance between…

Gems from the ashes: Capability creation and transformation in internal corporate venturing
Our longitudinal study of the entire population of internal corporate ventures within a large European electronics manufacturer finds that the conventional focus in the corporate venturing literature to evaluate ventures based on business growth and financial performance may be misguided.

Optimal impairment rules
We study the optimal accounting policy of a financially constrained firm that pledges assets to raise debt capital for financing a risky project. The accounting system provides information about the value of the collateral. Absent accounting regulation, the optimal accounting system is conditionally conservative: it recognizes an impairment loss if the asset value is below a certain…

Pay-what-you-want - a new participative pricing mechanism
Pay what you want (PWYW) is a new participative pricing mechanism in which consumers have maximum control over the price they pay. Previous research has suggested that participative pricing increases consumers' intent to purchase. However, sellers using PWYW face the risk that consumers will exploit their control and pay nothing at all or a price below the seller's costs.…

Retail revenue management
This work surveys decision support systems that use sales and shopping basket data to suggest regular and promotional price changes in order to improve profit and turnover in retailing (so-called retail revenue management [RRM] systems). Starting with a demonstration of the impact of pricing on profit, we critically assess the pricing methods currently used in retailing and from this…

Life cycle profit – reducing supply risks by integrated demand management
Technology advances and competitive pressure have shortened the life cycles for many products (e.g., in the mobile phone industry) and drastically increase the penalty of holding obsolete finished goods inventories. Standard planning methods lead to high forecasting errors and - as a consequence - to high safety inventories. In this context, an appropriate service level is of major…

Lean, take two! Reflections from the second attempt at lean implementation
It’s not easy being lean. And for many companies, getting lean right the first time does not always happen. Lean is a management philosophy focused on identifying and eliminating waste throughout a product’s entire value stream, extending not only within the organization but also along the company’s supply chain network. Lean promises significant benefits in terms of waste reduction…

Investment behaviour in a two period contest model
This paper presents a two-period model of talent investments in which two clubs compete for a contest prize. We show that multiple equilibria are possible, using a closed-loop approach with strictly convex costs: The large-market club invests in both periods more than the small-market club or the small-market club invests in both periods more than the large-market club. In the case…
