Firm-specific Human Capital and Strategy/Entrepreneurship Research: Three Opportunities

Abstract

Responding to Coff et al.’s “Firm-specific Human Capital at the Crossroads,” this commentary proposes three avenues for further research on firm-specific human capital: the impact on firm performance of new employee-incumbent employee interaction; the impact of variation in firm-specific human capital on the prevalence and success of spinoffs; and the intersection of research on firm-specific human capital and management pedagogy.
