Standardization efforts: the relationship between knowledge dimensions, search processes and innovation outcomes (2015)
Journal Article

We explore how a standardization effort (i.e., when a firm pursues standards to further innovation) involves different search processes for knowledge and innovation outcomes. Using an inductive case study of Vanke, a leading Chinese property develope...

Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study (2015)
Journal Article

We report on the results of experiments where participants choose between entrepreneurship and an outside option. Entrepreneurs enter a market and then make investment decisions to capture value. Payoffs depend on both strategic risk (i.e. the invest... Read More about Strategic and natural risk in entrepreneurship: an experimental study.

Conflict minerals and supply chain due diligence: an exploratory study of multi-tier supply chains (2015)
Journal Article

As recently stakeholders complain about the use of conflict minerals in consumer products that are often invisible to them in final products, firms across industries implement conflict mineral management practices. Conflict minerals are those, whose... Read More about Conflict minerals and supply chain due diligence: an exploratory study of multi-tier supply chains.

Combining ‘‘real effort’’ with induced effort costs: the ball-catching task (2015)
Journal Article

We introduce the “ball-catching task”, a novel computerized task, which combines a tangible action (“catching balls”) with induced material cost of effort. The central feature of the ball-catching task is that it allows researchers to manipulate the... Read More about Combining ‘‘real effort’’ with induced effort costs: the ball-catching task.

Risk taking and information aggregation in groups (2015)
Journal Article

We report a controlled laboratory experiment examining risk-taking and information aggregation in groups facing a common risk. The experiment allows us to examine how subjects respond to new information, in the form of both privately observed signals... Read More about Risk taking and information aggregation in groups.

Discretionary sanctions and rewards in the repeated inspection game (2015)
Journal Article

We experimentally investigate a repeated “inspection game” where, in the stage game, an employee can either work or shirk and an employer simultaneously chooses to inspect or not inspect. The unique equilibrium of the stage game is in mixed strategie... Read More about Discretionary sanctions and rewards in the repeated inspection game.

Quality assessment of an Ultra-Wide Band positioning system for indoor wheelchair court sports (2015)
Journal Article

Ultra-Wide Band radio positioning systems are maturing very quickly and now represent a good candidate for indoor positioning. The aim of this study was to undertake a quality assessment on the use of a commercial Ultra-Wide Band positioning system f...

Structural aspects of MOF-based energy materials research at Diamond (2015)
Journal Article

Large-scale central facilities such as Diamond Light Source fulfil an increasingly pivotal role in many large-scale scientific research programmes. We illustrate these developments by reference to energy-centred projects at the University of Nottingh... Read More about Structural aspects of MOF-based energy materials research at Diamond.

Supramolecular binding and separation of hydrocarbons within a functionalised porous metal-organic framework (2015)
Journal Article

Supramolecular interactions are fundamental to host-guest binding in chemical and biological processes. Direct visualisation of such supramolecular interactions within host-guest systems is extremely challenging but crucial for the understanding of t...
