“…Also, a consistent positive relationship between a relevant structural characteristic: tie strength, and knowledge transfer has been found in prior research (Rowley, Behrens, & Krackhardt 2000;Reagans & McEvily 2003;van Wijk, Jansen, & Lyles 2008). Tie strength refers to 'the closeness and interaction frequency of a relationship between two parties' (Levin & Cross 2004, p. 1478Hansen 1999).…”

Client risk tolerance is universally assessed in the advisory process to help financial advisers provide suitable advice that assists clients in their investment decision-making. Although there is a well-established literature on risk tolerance and decision-making, little is known about financial risk tolerance and its influence on investor decisions in the financial advice context. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine this influence with a focus on the key expected risk tolerance determinants: client financial literacy, trust in the financial advice service, and relationship length with the service. A new theoretical model and related hypotheses were proposed and tested using survey data from financial adviser clients in Australia (N=538). Results revealed a positive relationship between client risk tolerance and investment decision-making. Further, client trust and relationship length with the service were found to be positively associated with client financial literacy and risk tolerance. These findings, which provide a more comprehensive understanding of how risk tolerance and its antecedents influence client decisions, have the potential to improve advice in the financial services industry.

“…This introduced theoretical variation into our investigation of subsidiary managers" practices in mobilizing knowledge. The focal subsidiaries were of different sizes, indicating different levels of knowledge stocks (Gupta & Govindarajan, 2000;van Wijk, Jansen, & Lyles, 2008), and had different numbers and types of mandates, a sign of the concentration and scope of their knowledge (Gupta & Govindarajan, 2000;Hansen & Løvås, 2004;van Wijk et al, 2008). In addition, the structure of the MNCs" international operations varied sufficiently to incorporate local, regional and global subsidiary responsibilities.…”

Knowledge flows are a key source of advantage for multinational corporations (MNCs). As research on subsidiary knowledge flows to date has mostly focused on organization-level investigations, often using quantitative methodologies, the nuances of knowledge flows practices and their micro-foundations require further theoretical development. Using detailed qualitative data on 40 cases of subsidiary managers" knowledge mobilizations, this paper unravels some of the micro-level practices of knowledge mobilizationsin MNCs. We find that subsidiary manager"s knowledge mobilization practices initiate a complex pattern of subsidiary knowledge inflows, pinpointing the significance of lateral and bottom up exchanges (locally as well as internationally)and the emergent nature of utilizing practices, specialist skills and expertise, as well as experience and advice to develop solutions. We use these insights to distinguish between two types of subsidiary knowledge flows: deliberate and emergent knowledge flows and highlight how their differences have profound implications for the investigation of subsidiary and MNC knowledge flows and their microfoundations.

“…Moreover, the evidence of size on incremental and radical innovation performance reports contradictory results; although knowledge accumulation is one of the antecedents of innovation performance that, along with size, has been most widely studied, relatively little empirical research has been reported on the effect of size on internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability. The studies that assess the effect of size on knowledge management capabilities focus on knowledge transfer, also reporting inconclusive results (van Wijk et al, 2008). For this reason the present study aims to unravel the impact of organizational size on both radical and incremental innovation performance, and on the main knowledge accumulation capabilities that determine them, which will reveal in greater detail the complex antecedents and their interactions that intervene in the development of the innovation process.…”

“…However, the literature identifying the key aspects to develop innovation performance based on knowledge accumulation capabilities (Jiménez-Jiménez and Sanz-Valle, 2011) requires additional conceptual and empirical research (Kim et al, 2012;van Wijk et al, 2008). Firms can accumulate new knowledge by generating it internally, through a process of internal knowledge creation grounded on the skills, knowledge and experiences of their employees (Smith et al, 2005), by acquiring it from external sources through the development of their absorptive capability (Cohen and Levinthal, 1990), or by implementing a strategy to accumulate new knowledge that combines both these options.…”

HOW DOES ORGANIZATIONAL SIZE IMPACT ON KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION CAPABILITIES AND INCREMENTAL VERSUS RADICAL INNOVATION PERFORMANCE?ABSTRACT While prior studies recognise the importance of knowledge accumulation capabilities in innovation performance, current research has still failed to empirically identify its role with regard to different types of innovation performance. The objective of this paper is to address this knowledge gap and to explore the relationships between internal knowledge creation and absorptive capabilities, and radical and incremental innovation performance. The study also contributes to analyzing the complex effect that organizational size has in the whole innovation process, influencing its antecedents (internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability) as well as its outputs (incremental and radical innovation performance), as the literature has produced inconsistent results and the issue is subject to continuing debate. This study demonstrates that incremental innovation performance is positively affected by both knowledge accumulation capabilities and size. However, results show that only absorptive capability has a positive direct effect on radical innovation performance, whereas size has a negative non-significant effect on it. The effect of size on knowledge accumulation capabilities also turns out to be mixed. It appears to increase internal knowledge creation capability, but it does not affect the absorption of new external knowledge, and thus does not help to develop radical innovations.
