Current Projects
1) Which technology strategies better pay-‐off? A longitudinal study of inward technology licensing, internal R&D and firm performance; with Goretti Cabaleiro Cerviño (Universidad Carlos III of Madrid, Spain).
This research project aims at investigating the impact of a firm’s licensing and patenting activity on its financial market value and innovative performance. It aims at examining the following research question, what are the short-‐tem and long-‐term effects of external and internal technology acquisition on firm performance? The empirical study is based on 104 companies that have been selected from the Standard & Poors 500 index according to their sector classification, i.e. if they belonged to the energy, materials or consumer staples sectors. This dataset is integrated with information gathered from Compustat, Factiva and the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The period chosen for analysis is 2006-‐2012. 2) Phoenix Firms: A study of spin-‐offs that emerged from a dying mother; with Lars Frederiksen, Steffen Korsgaard (Aarhus University, Denmark), Jari Handelberg (Aalto University, Finland) and Matti Vanska (Nokia). This project aims at examining start-‐up companies supported by Nokia’s Bridge Program in Denmark and Finland. After closing down sites in these countries, Nokia offered employees a unique severance package, which included financial and managerial support for entrepreneurial activities – what constituted a dream start for an entrepreneur. This resulted in the establishment of 38 companies in Denmark and around 400 in Finland. Drawing on a multi-‐method approach that combines survey data, interviews and registry data, this project has the objective of investigating the entrepreneurial behaviour of individuals supported by the Bridge program, the performance of the spinoffs and their relationship to the mother company Nokia.
