Co-Evolution of Capabilities and Industry: The Evolution of Mutual Fund Processing
Abstract
The resource view of the firm has made substantial progress in identifying what attributes of a firm may provide a source of competitive advantage; however, the literature has far less to say about the emergence of these distinctive capabilities. We develop a simple framework based on the role of positive feedback effects of market activity, organizational factors that cause a firm to focus on a particular capability trajectory, and lastly the role of managerial choice with respect to anticipated feedback effects, which we term feedforward effects. We apply this framework to the emergence of competitive positions in the mutual fund-processing business from its inception to 1984.

“Given that a proven response to an identified problem exists in organizational memory, experimentation with alternatives becomes less attractive, crowding out explorative activities that would go beyond the beaten track (Levinthal, 1991;Levinthal and Myatt, 1994;Sørensen and Stuart, 2000).”

In the citing paper
“Firms with a strong established new product development capability tend to develop a preference for pursuing incremental product improvements along existing trajectories rather than exploring radically different innovations (Levinthal and Myatt, 1994;Sørensen and Stuart, 2000).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
