Uschi Backes-Gellner, Marlies Kluike, Kerstin Pull, Martin R Schneider, Silvia Teuber, Human resource management and radical innovation : a fuzzy-set QCA of US multinationals in Germany, Switzerland, and the UK, Journal of Business Economics / Zeitschrift für Betriebswirtschaft, Vol. 86 (7), 2016. (Journal Article) This paper explores, based on the varieties-of-capitalism approach, configurations of key human resource management practices that explain radical innovation in subsidiaries. A fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is conducted with data for 69 subsidiaries of US-based MNEs in Germany, Switzerland, and the UK. Contrary to the implications of the varieties-of-capitalism literature, combining numerical flexibility and employing a high share of academics does not necessarily achieve radical innovation. Various paths to radical innovation exist, and most of them involve functional flexibility. Overall, the findings emphasize the strategic discretion MNEs have, and accentuate that functional flexibility is a key HR practice to achieve radical innovation across differing varieties of capitalism countries.
Agnes Bäker, Susanne Breuninger, Julia Muschallik, Kerstin Pull, Uschi Backes-Gellner, Time to Go? (Inter)national mobility and appointment success of young academics, Schmalenbach Business Review, Vol. 17 (3-4), 2016. (Journal Article) We analyze whether and how young researchers’ (inter)national mobility affects their later appointment success. We use data on 330 researchers from business and economics in Germany, Austria and the German-speaking part of Switzerland and measure appointment success by (a) the time it takes a young researcher to get tenure and by (b) whether the researcher succeeded in getting tenure at a highly ranked institution. We find that international mobility is positively related to the likelihood of getting tenure at a highly ranked institution whereas pre-tenure national mobility is negatively related to both measures of appointment success. The latter effect stems from the period when post-doctoral pre-tenure national mobility was uncommon and created a negative stigma -- an effect that vanishes after the introduction of Juniorprofessorships.
