  • Network Position and Exploratory Knowledge Creation: Evidence from US IT Clusters
    HEC MONTRÉAL École affiliée à l’Université de Montréal Network Position and Exploratory Knowledge Creation: Evidence from US IT Clusters YANG GAO Master of Science in International Business February 2017 © YANG GAO, 2017 Abstract In This study, I explore the effects of structures of technological alliance networks on firms’ exploratory knowledge creation. The research is built upon the connections between social network, organizational learning, and organizational ambidexterity theories. Firms pursue knowledge creation opportunities by forming technological alliances, but no consensus has been reached regarding the optimum strategy of alliance formation activities, i.e., whether the return of knowledge creation always increases in tandem with numbers of alliances or it diminishes at some point due to various factors such as costs of maintaining ties and capabilities of absorb information and knowledge generated from alliances. The study sheds light on the controversy of whether the relationship between network structures and knowledge creation is positive or curvilinear by distinguishing different orientations of knowledge creation activities, which entail different network structures and strategies. More specifically, by extracting exploratory knowledge creation from the overall knowledge creation activities, the relationship between basic network position features and exploration is more focused and accurate. Empirical investigation, which uses hand-collected data of alliance activities and patent application behaviors of 67 firms in several IT clusters in US, proves the curvilinear relationship between alliance network centrality and exploratory knowledge creation. Results of the study help to address the conflicts of networks’ effects on knowledge creation with new evidence from knowledge intensive industries, and provided insights on organizational learning and firm innovation strategies.

  • 6 GOLDEN “Mom, That’S a Great Poem, but I Need Some Money,” He Replied Quickly
    KEVIN O’LEARY When Kevin graduated from the University of Waterloo with a bachelor’s degree in environmental studies, he was hit with a startling reality. He was cut off. THE O’LEARY FAMILY SECRETS When it happened his mother shared a bit of insight, “My mother said to me, ‘The dead bird under the nest is the one that never learned how to fly,’” 6 GOLDEN “Mom, that’s a great poem, but I need some money,” he replied quickly. But his days of being provided for were over, and he knew it was time to learn how to provide. “Woah, no dead bird for me,” he decided. Less than 10 years later he would start the software company SoftKey, that would RULES eventually become The Learning Company and be sold to Mattel for $4.2 billion. He credits his mother’s loving financial desertion for his individual success as he OF INVESTING presides over a multitude of companies bearing his last name: O’Leary Fine Wines, financial company O’Shares Investments, and private equity firm O’Leary Ventures. My Personal Plan for Financial Peace Kevin continues this practice with his own children, Trevor and Savannah. It’s import- ant to give people what they need, not just what they want. He says, “You can’t empower them, you can’t entitle them. You have to prepare people to go and do their own thing.” Kevin sees it as his responsibility as a successful entrepreneur to provide a road map for the next generation of hustlers. Not just of his successes, but his failures as well, so that they don’t have to keep making the same mistakes.

  • MATTEL and the LEARNING COMPANY: a CASE of an ACQUISITION in TROUBLE Laurel Mitchell, Claremont Mckenna College, 500 E
    MATTEL AND THE LEARNING COMPANY: A CASE OF AN ACQUISITION IN TROUBLE Laurel Mitchell, Claremont McKenna College, 500 E. Ninth Street, Claremont, CA 9171 I 1-909-607-3686, lmitchell@,mckenna edu ABSTRACT At yearond 1998, Mattel announced the acquisition of The Learning Company, the second largest consumer software publisher (Reader Rabbit, the Princeton Review test preparation series, etc.). The purchase price was $3.5 billion for The Learning Company, and Mattel amicipated transforming itself from a traditional toy company to a global provider of products for children. A mere sixteen months lat~, the acquisition was deemed a failure. In September 2000, MaRel announced the sale of the Learning Company unit, for almost no cash and the right to a share of the unit's future earnings. Along the way, the Learning Company unit lost up to $1 million per day under Mattel's leadership. This case, appropriate for Financial Statement Analysis or a capstone course, gives background on the industry, the acquisition and subsequent developments, and asks students to consider accounting and valuation issues relevant to the decisions to purchase and subsequently sell the Learning Company. DESCRIPTION OF COMPANIES AND INDUSTRIES The Learning Company was formed in 1994. Through more than a dozen acquisitions, by 1998 it was a giant in educational software, with over 500 titles including the Reader Rabbit and Princeton Review series. Revenue in 1998 totaled $839 million, making the Learning Compan); the second largest manufacturer of software (after Microsoft) and the leader in educational software with over a 40% market share. So, the Learning Company was well positioned as a leader in the fast growing (sales of $1.8 billion in 1998) educational and entertainment software industry.
