dc.description.abstract | This dissertation creates a model explaining the factors that drive the
decision by a semiconductor firm to divest a specific strategic resource. The
dissertation is based on a case study of a medium size semiconductor firm that
divested a competitively performing manufacturing facility in a low labor cost
Asian country, and replaced the services it performed with contracted services. The
study draws on competitive advantage, resource based view, transaction cost,
divestment, international business, and asset-light model literature. The existing
literature either fails to explain (or to explain completely) the reasons driving these
type of divestiture decisions (resource based view, transaction cost economics,
international business theory), or explains them only at a firm level (divestment and
asset light theory). The contribution that this dissertation creates is a model that
explains the decision at the specific strategic resource level, i.e. a theory of why
one particular strategic resource would be divested by a firm, but not another. | en_US |
