17 Publications 15 An interview with Professor Francis Bidault about his new book Managing joint innovation: How to balance trust and control in strategic alliances Your book is entitled Managing joint innovation. What is joint innovation? These are partnerships between two or more firms that want to develop new capabilities (i.e., new products, services, technologies, processes) they plan to exploit either separately or together. The cooperation between Toyota and Tesla - the Californian company known for its innovative electric sports car - to develop an electric version of the RAV4 is one example. There we had two partners who needed each other s competences and assets to create this new product. Francis Bidault, Professor You say that there is an increasing number of this form of strategic alliance. Why are they emerging now? Many factors push companies to combine their resources in order to develop innovative capabilities, such as the growing cost of R&D for the next technology generations, the shortening of product life cycles, the need to combine different technologies. Today, developing a car requires a broad range of expertise no company can master on its own. Carmakers have therefore become adept at forming alliances to confront the challenge of innovation. As needed as they are, co-development alliances are difficult to manage. What are the main dangers they confront and how should partners cope with them? These alliances are indeed typically unstable, and many simply fail to grant any return on the partners investment. Those who survive often do so after drastic restructuring and require that the partners learn to pull together and work around unexpected difficulties. My book focuses on the critical task of managing relationships and communication in co-development alliances. However, good relational quality management will certainly not compensate for bad business strategies and poor execution of initiatives. Also, outstanding relationships will not survive when there is a lack of trust between partners and a desire for tighter control over one another. I suggest a specific approach for managing the relationship between organizations involved in co-development alliances. My recommendations are based on many cases that I have researched and an extensive review of recent management literature.

Undoubtedly they generated stimulating discussions and provided thought-provoking new approaches. The conference provided an excellent forum for this exchange of knowledge and ideas. ESMT/Humboldt Workshop on Organizational Behavior, Corporate Social Responsibility, and Responsible Leadership June 6 7 This workshop was a joint effort between ESMT and the Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin with the aim of giving PhD and Master's students the opportunity to present and discuss their original research with junior and senior faculty members in the area of Organizational Behavior (OB), Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), and Responsible Leadership. The workshop was jointly organized by Zhike Lei (ESMT) and Joachim Schwalbach (Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin). Berlin Workshop on Innovation, Entrepreneurship, and Strategy November 5 The overall goal of this half-day workshop was to provide an opportunity for an open and informal exchange between Berlin-based researchers interested in the fields of innovation, entrepreneurship and strategy. The workshop brought together researchers mainly from Freie Universität, Technische Universität, and ESMT. It allowed participants to briefly present either an on-going research project or to give a short summary of their current work. The workshop contributed to a better integration of those in Berlin s research community who are interested in innovation, entrepreneurship and strategy and allowed the participants to get a better knowledge of the work that is being pursued by their peers in Berlin. Sustainable Business Roundtable Integrating sustainability into branding and marketing strategy April In the 3rd meeting of the ESMT SBRT, participants of 16 companies discussed the role of sustainability in shaping the brand and marketing strategy. Most of the participating companies were represented by a corporate responsibility/ sustainability manager as well as by a colleague from the marketing and communications department. The SBRT meeting focused on the opportunities and

27 Events 25 challenges of integrating sustainability into a company's branding and marketing strategy. The keynote address was given by Gail Klintworth (Unilever) who introduced participants to sustainability and marketing at Unilever. The academic perspective was provided by Professor N. Craig Smith (INSEAD). He familiarized attendees with the halo effect. BASF s sustainability, eco-efficiency, and traceability (S.E.T.) initiative was the topic of Dr. Christoph Günther s (BASF) presentation. Sustainable Business Roundtable Integrating sustainability into innovation strategy November The 4th meeting of the ESMT SBRT focused on the opportunities and challenges of integrating sustainability into innovation strategy. For one-and-a-half days, representatives of the 15 companies delved into the topic of innovation and sustainability. A workshop on the successful integration of sustainability into innovation led by Faculty Professional Christoph Burger and Professor CB Bhattacharya brought new insights right from the beginning. The following day, Martin Hintz (Allianz) introduced participants to microinsurance at Allianz. A second best practice example was provided by Anne Roulin (Nestlé) who focused on environmental sustainability in the context of the food value chain. ESMT/E.CA Economics Expert Forum on Pricing Strategies and Competition Law & Economics October 12 Pricing strategies are one of the most hotly debated areas of competition law and economics. With firms being faced with tighter financial constraints and policy makers shifting focus to end consumer goods, pricing related dominance cases are in their heyday. But in which circumstances is a low price strategy pro-competitive; where is it anti-competitive? Do margin squeeze provisions offer an easy way to catch offenders? Do we need excessive pricing cases for collectively dominant firms as a complement to cartel investigations? And what is the Commission s policy regarding vertical price restraints such as retail price maintenance or most favored nation clauses? These questions will be discussed with a high-level panel of policy stakeholders and economists. 4.3 ESMT Open Lecture Donald M. Berwick Former Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services What health care reform should mean

28 26 R&D Annual Report Grants ESMT continued to develop its research grant area in 2012 receiving funds from the European Commission for a European Research Council Starting Grant and a Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship. ESMT also secured an International Growth Center Grant, and an RTG 1659 Database Grant as well as new funding for a research project from its trust provider the Peter Curtius-Stiftung. 5.1 New grants European Research Council Starting Grant Project leader(s): Botond Kőszegi Supporting partner(s): Paul Heidhues Project title: Behavioral theory and economic applications 375,000 The European Research Council (ERC) has bestowed a team of researchers including ESMT Professor and Lufthansa Chair in Competition and Regulation Paul Heidhues a starting grant for five years. The team, led by Professor Botond Köszegi of Central European University and Berkeley, will research Behavioral theory and economic applications. In particular, Professor Heidhues will explore the implications for market outcomes, welfare, and policy when consumers misperceive certain aspects of products or contracts. Established by the European Commission, the ERC encourages the highest quality research in Europe through competitive funding and supports frontier research across all fields on the basis of scientific excellence. In this year s Starting Grant competition, the ERC received 4741 applications, from which only 11.3 per cent early-career top researchers have been granted funding for their research projects. Marie Curie Intra-European Fellowship (IEF) Project leader(s): Katja Brunk, CB Bhattacharya Project title: Researching consumer perceived ethicality (CPE) of companies and brands 174,475 Issues such as corporate social responsibility (CSR) and business ethics have increasingly taken center stage in today s society. While researchers agree that consumers react negatively/positively to companies they perceive as un/ethical, the actual question of what evokes such a negative or positive perception has not been investigated. To this day, little is known about how moral equity is generated and emerges in the consumer s mind. This research shall redress this research imbalance. In order to better understand the link between un/ethical corporate

29 Grants 27 conduct and consumer responses, the question of how ethical perceptions are formed and affected by corporate behavior is of utmost importance. The planned research hopes to facilitate much-needed theory building and deeper insight into consumer reactions to corporate ethics, CSR, or corporate reputation efforts. Any subsequent research investigating notions of company and brand misconduct, scandal spillover effects, or, more generally, any facets of ethical consumption will benefit from this conceptualization. International Growth Center Project leader(s): Debraj Ray Supporting partner(s): Rajshri Jayaraman, Shing-Yi Wang Project title: Gender differences in health investment: Evidence from health care providers in India 15,977 In developed countries, males outnumber females at birth, but that imbalance begins to redress itself soon after. The combined effect is (or should be) a roughly equal proportion of men and women in the population as a whole. That is not the case in large parts of Asia: in India and China, the overall ratio of males to females is around Much attention has been placed on skewed sex ratios at birth and early childhood. Recent research by Anderson and Ray (2010) implies however, that in India age and disease are prominent factors in cases of missing women. This project is devoted to investigating one particular pathway for why this might be, namely, whether and why there may exist gender differentials in the seeking of medical care. The International Growth Center (IGC) grant finances the collection and recording of patient records from the Aravind Eye Hospital in South India. The data, covering over 60,000 patients, contain various measures of disease intensity, which allows us to evaluate the extent to which eye health deteriorates before men and women seek care. Peter Curtius-Stiftung Sascha Steffen An inquiry into the Eurozone financial sector distress 16,000 The goal of this study is to investigate the bank behavior that can explain how the Eurozone financial sector entered such severe distress as it did during In particular, we will examine the hypotheses concerning extensive government support in 2008 and the induced moral hazard, the inter-connectedness of banks, and the lack of recapitalization incentives due to debt overhang once the sovereign debt problems materialized in The study will draw on a large number of datasets to examine the cross-sectional variation in bank behavior so as to trace the impact of differential government guarantee packages in 2008 on bank

RTG 1659 Database Grant Project leader(s): Rajshri Jayaraman Project title: Gender differences in health investment: Evidence from health care providers in India 6,950 The RTG funding is earmarked for a pilot household survey, in which a subsample of patient households are administered a household survey. This will enable us to understand not just whether, but why there may exist gender differentials in the seeking of medical care in India. In particular, we wish to gather economically relevant household data which enables us to analyze how the costs faced by households affect the decisions of men and women to seek health care. 5.2 Continuing grants Peter Curtius-Stiftung Mario Rese, Martin Kupp, Vincent Onyemah Investigation into why organizations lose outstanding salespeople through promotions to sales leadership positions 33,100 Rajshri Jayaraman, Jörg Rocholl Promoting entrepreneurship through microcredit 20,000 Zhike Lei Affective ingenuity: Linking emotional contagion and team creativity 17,000 Francine Espinoza Gilt or guilt?
