In diversified firms, resource relatedness has often been suggested as having positive effects on corporate performance. This paper proposes, however, an inverted U relationship between technological relatedness and corporate R&D performance. In addition, institutional ownership and CEO ownership is proposed to moderate the effects of technological relatedness on R&D performance by influencing CEOs' tendencies to take risks.

Abstract


In diversified firms, resource relatedness has often been suggested as having positive effects on corporate performance. This paper proposes, however, an inverted U relationship between technological relatedness and corporate R&D performance. In addition, institutional ownership and CEO ownership is proposed to moderate the effects of technological relatedness on R&D performance by influencing CEOs' tendencies to take risks.
