    The contingent value of the dedicated alliance function
    (Sage, 2019-05) Fındıkoğlu, Melike Nur; Lavie, D.; Management Information Systems; FINDIKOĞLU, Melike Nur
    Scholars have underscored the merits of a dedicated alliance function that promotes standardization, formalization, and centralization of alliance management practices, but some recent research finds no support for the claim that a dedicated alliance function creates value. We contribute to this debate by offering a contingency approach. Specifically, we conjecture that the contribution of the dedicated alliance function to value creation in an alliance increases with general partnering experience that the firm has accumulated with its various partners but declines with partner-specific experience that the firm has accumulated in recurrent alliances with the same partner. Our analysis of more than 15,000 alliances involving US-based software firms supports these conjectures and identifies boundary conditions for this function's effects. We conclude that instituting an organizational infrastructure that is meant to enhance a firm's ability to leverage its experience with various partners can restrict its gains from experience with specific partners. Nevertheless, by appropriately leveraging its dedicated alliance function, the firm can manage conflicting routines and overcome the tradeoff between efficient use of alliance management practices and responsiveness to partners in its alliance portfolio.

    Linking macro-level goals to micro-level routines: EHR-enabled transformation of primary care services
    (Springer, 2016-12-01) Fındıkoğlu, Melike Nur; Watson-Manheim, M. B.; Management Information Systems; FINDIKOĞLU, Melike Nur
    Information and communication technologies are known to be instrumental in the enhancement of healthcare management capabilities in developing countries. Turkey a developing country has undergone a major healthcare transformation marked by the redesign of primary care delivery and the implementation of a nation-wide Electronic Health Records (EHR) system. In this research, presenting Turkey's case, we investigate the consequences of EHR implementation in developing countries. We argue that to better understand the consequences, we need to link macro-level healthcare goals with micro-level system usage behaviors that actualize the macro-level goals or alternatively result in unintended negative health outcomes. We posit that this linkage is achieved through the meso-level structures, namely the EHR and the organizational context, in which it is embedded. Hence, we examine the EHR's role in this relationship. Our findings indicate that EHR usage both enables and constrains the achievement of clinicians' professional goals in the context of primary care delivery. Moreover, goal alignment between the government agency as the designer of the system and the clinicians influence the outcomes of the EHR-enabled transformation. When the healthcare goals are aligned, the system enables the clinicians to achieve their professional goals and their system usage behaviors converge, contributing to improvements in health outcomes. Contrarily, when the goals are misaligned, the system constrains goal achievement and the clinicians show divergent usage behaviors, including goal abandonment. In turn, goal abandonment may lead to negative consequences and even adversely affect the achievement of population-level healthcare goals in the long run.

    Partnering for prosperity: Small IT vendor partnership formation and the establishment of partner pools
    (Taylor & Francis, 2021-03-04) Fındıkoğlu, Melike Nur; Ranganathan, C.; Watson-Manheim, M. B.; Management Information Systems; FINDIKOĞLU, Melike Nur
    Small IT vendors increasingly establish intra-industry collaborative arrangements with other technology providers. Despite the criticality of this strategy, there is little research that provides insights into partnership formation. Our study attempts to close this gap.Building on resource dependency theory (RDT) and resource-based view (RBV), we posit that, depending on external market and internal resource considerations, small IT vendors either supplement or complement their IT resources and capabilities via partnerships. When seeking to expand the scope of their resource portfolio by accessing dissimilar resources, vendors are engage in complementary partnerships (goal: improving the scope of IT resources). However, if they seek to expand the scale of their portfolio, they engage in supplementary partnerships (goal: extending the scale of IT resources). Using a qualitative approach, we examine the partnership formation practices of seven small IT firms. We propose a conceptual framework with five constructs that illustrate dynamics underlying these IT service partnerships, i.e., External market considerations, Internal resource configurations, Partner considerations, Partnership exploration, and Partnership development. We find variations in partnership practices depending on the supplementary or complementary nature of resources being sought. We also find small IT vendors form and manage partner pools to mitigate risks associated with partnerships.
