| Abstract: | This paper explores how firms innovate within and across firm boundaries by reconfiguring their resources and business units over time. The evolution of 87 product lines and 88 business units in Johnson & Johnson's medical sector from 1975 to 1997 is examined. Focus is on acquisitions and internal development. It is argued that both aspects are significant as sources of value and innovation for a firm. |
