My research interests span strategy, international business and technology management:
  • The formation, governance and performance of inter-organizational relationships, including alliances, buyer-supplier relationships, etc.
  • Knowledge diffusion across firms, industries and regions
  • The impact of formal and informal institutions on the topics above, with a special interest in the economy and institutions of Japan
In my research, I encountered methodological limitations of extant research. A smaller stream of papers contributes to the field by highlighting common methodological errors, their consequences for theory testing and errors in inferences, and potential solutions.

Much of my work focuses on the flat panel display and notebook computer industries, but I've also conducted research on the disk drive and early automotive industries.

You can find a complete listing of my work in my CV and copies of many of my papers on the Papers page. The Research narrative page places my papers in context and traces the development of my research activities. Information on packages I’ve written for Stata as a byproduct of my research is here.
