Abstract
PurposeTo investigate the relationship between technological diversification and firm performance as a function of varying levels of technological coupling and internal technological change.Design/methodology/approachA longitudinal study of US-based bio-pharmaceutical companies.FindingsTechnological diversification improves invention performance. However, high levels of technological coupling reduce this effect.Practical implicationsFirms with highly diversified technological portfolios should strive to keep their technologies at low levels of technological coupling.Originality/valueThis is the first study to show that technological coupling reduces the positive effect of technological diversification on firms' invention performance.
期刊介绍:
The Baltic region has experienced rapid political and economic change over recent years. The challenges to managers and management researchers operating within the area are often different to those experienced in other parts of the world. The Baltic Journal of Management contributes to an understanding of different management cultures and provides readers with a fresh look at emerging management practices and research in the countries of the Baltic region and beyond.
