Resource orchestration for team‐based innovation: a case study of the interplay between teams, customers, and top management

“…As the aim of this study is to examine the structuring, bundling, and leveraging processes (Sirmon et al, 2011) in the context of team-based innovation, a case study methodology was deemed suitable for developing the resource orchestration framework (Carnes and Ireland, 2013;Stoyanov et al, 2018;Chiambaretto and Wassmer, 2019). The case company was chosen for three reasons: (1) it is operating in a dynamic environment, that is, the environment in which resource orchestration is applicable according to seminal orchestration publications (Helfat et al, 2007;Sirmon et al, 2007Sirmon et al, , 2011; (2) it is highly successful in terms of innovation and growth as well as employee well-being, apparently being able to 'orchestrate' its resources successfully; and (3) this company is renowned for an organizational structure promoting team-based innovation.…”

Though existing studies have used different institutional contexts to frame diaspora entrepreneurship, we take the view that no single theory can effectively account for the motive of internationalising diaspora entrepreneurship (Crick and Chaudhry, 2013;Riddle and Brinkerhoff, 2011).…”
