摘要

研究摘要尽管资源重新配置在塑造各种战略结果方面非常重要,但战略学者对企业在连续的系统创新中重新配置资源的过程关注有限。为了探索这些过程,我们对罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司在三项不同的系统创新中所扮演的角色进行了深入的历史案例研究,这三项创新标志着民用航空工业从活塞发动机向喷气发动机的过渡:涡轮喷气发动机、涡轮螺旋桨发动机和涡轮风扇发动机。分析有助于解释罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司如何以及为何能够重新分配现有的非规模自由组织和技术资源,从而发挥核心作用。本研究的一个重要发现是将功能模块的横向转移确定为一个关键过程,尤其是在系统创新的萌芽阶段。分析还强调了特定的组织安排,尤其是企业的整合能力,在影响资源重新分配的有效性方面所起的作用。通过深入研究航空发动机研发的技术层面,并探讨为什么罗尔斯-罗伊斯公司有能力成功地将关键功能模块整合到不同的模块层面,我们阐明了技术与组织之间的关系,这种关系是资源重新配置的基础--这一话题在战略文献中很少受到关注。

Resource reallocation across successive systemic innovations: How Rolls‐Royce shaped the evolution of the turbojet, turboprop, and turbofan
Research SummaryDespite the importance of resource reallocation in shaping a variety of strategic outcomes, strategy scholars have paid only limited attention to the processes by which firms reallocate their resources across successive systemic innovations. To explore these processes, we conducted an in‐depth historical case study on Rolls‐Royce's role in three distinct systemic innovations that marked the transition from piston engines to jet engines in the civil aviation industry: the turbojet, the turboprop, and the turbofan. The analysis helps explain how and why Rolls‐Royce's central role stemmed from its ability to reallocate existing non‐scale free organizational and technical resources. A key finding of this study is the identification of the horizontal transfer of functional modules as a critical process, especially during the incipient phase of a systemic innovation. The analysis also highlights the role that specific organizational arrangements, particularly a firm's integrative capabilities, have in shaping the effectiveness with which resources are reallocated.Managerial SummaryFocusing on resource reallocation is important to understand why some firms effectively reallocate their resources through successive systemic innovations while others cannot, even if they have similar resources and face the same environmental conditions. By delving into the technological aspects of aeroengine development and exploring why Rolls‐Royce had the capabilities to successfully integrate key functional modules across various modular levels, we clarify the relationship between technology and organization that underlies resource reallocation—a topic that has received only scant attention in the strategy literature.
