      <title>Strategic renewal in the Dutch financial services sector: Renewal Trajectories from a Competence-based Perspective. (In Book)</title>

      <description>How do large well-established firms renew themselves in an increasing
turbulent environment? Is there a generic pattern of change or is each
change journey rather idiosyncratic? We posed five questions about the
nature of renewal patterns. First, how do firms combine external versus
internal initiatives in a trajectory of strategic renewal? Second, how does
the balance of competence building and competence leveraging evolve in
a trajectory of strategic renewal? Third, what are the sequences of action
in a strategic renewal process? Fourth, do firms differ regarding speed
of their renewal processes? Finally, do different strategic renewal trajectories give rise to different or similar outcomes? Using a simple
framework and new metrics we described and analyzed the strategic renewal
journeys of the five largest financial service firms in the Netherlands
during the period 1990–1997. We found equifinality in viable trajectories
of strategic renewal. In four out of five firms, they result in similar outcomes
due to mimetic behavior. Nonetheless, one firm showed deviant
strategic behavior.</description>

      <title>Strategic Renewal of European Financial Incumbents; Coevolution of Environmental Selection, Institutional Effects, and Managerial Intentionality (Doctoral Thesis)</title>

      <description>Hoe coevolueren bedrijven en omgevingen? Hoe zijn adaptie op organisatieniveau en selectie op industrieniveau aan elkaar gerelateerd? Kunnen grote gevestigde ondernemingen zichzelf vernieuwen en zich aanpassen aan hun omgeving? We onderzoeken strategische vernieuwing van gevestigde ondernemingen aan de hand van proposities die zijn afgeleid van drie enkelvoudige theoretische perspectieven; omgevingsselectie, institutionele theorie en organisatorische intenties en een coevolutionair perspectief.  Op basis van een onderscheid van drie dimensies van strategische vernieuwing worden maatstaven ontwikkeld om deze proposities te onderzoeken. Het onderzoek is uitgevoerd middels een longitudinale analyse van de Europese financiële sector waarin meerdere landen en analyseniveaus zijn betrokken.De resultaten geven aan dat, overeenkomstig het omgevingsselectieperspectief, gevestigde ondernemingen exploitatie-acties prefereren boven exploratie-acties. Nationale institutionele omgevingen blijken van invloed te zijn op de mate waarin gevestigde ondernemingen interne dan wel externe vernieuwingsacties prefereren. Organisatorische intenties bieden een verklaring voor deviant gedrag en bedrijfsspecifieke timing en frequentie van vernieuwingsacties. Coevolutionaire interactie-effecten dragen ertoe bij afwijkingen van voorspellingen van enkelvoudige theoretische perspectieven te verklaren.</description>

      <title>Coevolution in the strategic renewal behaviour of British, Dutch and French financial incumbents: interaction of environmental selection, institutional effects and managerial intentionality (Article)</title>
      <link>http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/6458/</link>

      <description>How do incumbent firms and environments co-evolve and how are firm-level adaptation and selection at industry level interrelated? Can and do large established organizations renew themselves to adapt to their environment? Three single-lens theories, relating to environmental selection, institutional theory, managerial intentionality, and a co-evolutionary perspective are used to investigate strategic renewal of incumbent firms. We derive propositions and distinguish between three dimensions of strategic renewal and develop metrics to investigate our propositions in a multi-level, multi-country, longitudinal study of the European financial services industry.</description>

      <title>Het veranderende landschap in de Europese financiële sector: vooruitblik op de financiële sector in de 21ste eeuw (Article)</title>

      <description>De Europese financiële sector wordt geconfronteerd
met ingrijpende veranderingen in de omgeving die
van grote invloed zijn op de concurrentieverhoudingen en de
manier waarop financiële dienstverlenende bedrijven hun routines,
producten en diensten voortbrengen. Dit blijkt uit onderzoek
naar de snelheid waarmee EU-regelgeving en technologische
innovaties zich over Groot-Brittannië, Frankrijk, Italië,
Nederland en Zweden hebben verspreid gedurende de periode
1990-1999. Groot-Brittannië en Nederland komen daarin naar
voren als voorlopers met betrekking tot het implementeren van
nieuwe regelgeving en technologieën, terwijl Italië en Frankrijk
relatief laat zijn. Uit de bevindingen blijkt verder dat reguleringen
en technologieën steeds sneller algemeen verspreid worden,
in tegenstelling tot het vroegere proces van verspreiding
van land tot land. Het veranderende landschap stelt gevestigde
ondernemingen in de financiële dienstverlening daarmee voor
belangrijke uitdagingen in de nabije toekomst en maakt strategische
vernieuwing een noodzaak voor de gevestigde spelers in de
financiële sector.</description>

      <title>Following the Herd or Not? Patterns of Renewal in the Netherlands and the UK (Article)</title>
      <link>http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/6464/</link>
      <pubDate>2001-04-01T00:00:00Z</pubDate>
      <description>How do large firms conduct their strategic renewal journeys in an increasingly turbulent environment? Are there generic industry patterns, or are these renewal journeys country- or firm-specific? To answer these questions, we examine the relative incidence of external versus internal and explorative versus exploitative renewal actions, and their speed, in leading Dutch and UK financial service companies using longitudinal data. The context, content and process dimensions of strategic renewal are distinguished, and research questions about these attributes are formulated and investigated using new metrics. Findings show that while exploration/exploitation ratios are fairly similar for firms across the entire industry, systematic differences are evident between the external/internal renewal ratios of Dutch and UK firms, and that speed of renewal is largely determined at the firm level. Thus we find that industry-, country- and firm-specific factors all influence journeys of strategic renewal in distinctive and complementary ways.</description>

      <title>The Changing Landscape of the European Financial Services Sector (Article)</title>
      <link>http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/6466/</link>

      <description>The European financial services sector is confronted with major forces that have
changed its competitive dynamics and the strategic context. Firstly, we investigate the
pace of the diffusion of two forces for strategic renewal (technological innovations and
regulatory changes); secondly, we assess similarities in the pace of diffusion across
countries; and thirdly, we assess the impact of these developments on the European
financial landscape, focusing on five EU countries from 1990 to 1999. Preliminary
findings suggest that country-specific patterns of diffusion have decreased substantially,
indicating the emergence of industry-generic patterns of diffusion, while the speed of
diffusion is increasing within the sector. This will give rise to a hyper-competitive
landscape in the beginning of this century. Understanding the emergence of such
landscapes creates important managerial challenges for the strategic renewal journeys
of both incumbent firms and new entrants, in the financial services sector and in
sectors confronted with similar developments.</description>
