Abstract:
When a lead firm is undertaking business model innovation, it invites selected upstream production partners from its global value chain (GVC) into its R&D alliance network. Our analysis, based on data about automotive GVCs, shows that an upstream partner’s attractiveness as an alliance partner increases with its breadth of knowledge capital, whether within-domain or cross-domain. The positive effect of within-domain knowledge capital is attenuated by long-term ties it has formed within the GVC, but is strengthened by any cross-border ties it can offer. While the joint effects of knowledge and social capital are salient on a company’s within-domain knowledge capital, such effects do not apply to cross-domain knowledge capital. Our study has implications for dynamic changes in GVCs that relax some long-standing norms of GVC design.
