Dear colleagues,
Apologies for cross-posting. We are conducting a meta-analysis on the technological diversification-performance relationship. We are currently looking for all types of unpublished empirical research that contain these variables in their analysis (e.g., in-press articles, projects in write-up, under review, or in your file drawers, working papers, reports, etc.). To be included in our study, we seek samples that contain correlational data on both:
- Technological diversification at the firm level (often calculated with Herfindahl index, but also other measures)
- Firm performance (some type of market-based, accounting-based, growth-based, or innovation-based performance measures)
If you have such a study, please send it to one of the authors, Michael Gusenbauer (michael.gusenbauer@jku.at) by August 21st?
If you are uncertain as to whether your work is relevant, we would prefer that you send it to us anyway. We have already collected works listed in databases, yet if you have published works, you may send them to us if they may be difficult to locate through conventional keyword searches.
We promise to use the information you provide only for our meta-analysis, and we promise not to share this information with anyone else.
Your work would be very helpful to our meta-analysis. Thank you for your help!
Best regards,
