Abstract

This study examines the long-term effect of resource endowments at market entry on future firm outcomes namely creative performance and efficiency in revenue generation in the context of the global video game industry. We shine a light on the importance of resource endowments by suggesting that the impact of resource endowments might be larger in the creative industry, where some firms want to achieve creative performance over revenue generation. We find that resource endowments matter more than exogenous imprinting when firms are interested in creative performance. We also find that resource endowments can impact ongoing investments that might increase both types of firm outcomes. This suggests that resource endowments might have more importance than previously suggested and that resources and capabilities related to developing creative products are stickier and are more likely need to be developed in the sensitive periods such as market entry.
