Knowledge combination is a fundamental component of technological invention, which is a driver of new economic opportunities and firm growth. Yet, evidence suggests that myriad organizational factors, including managers, weigh heavily on the ability of firms to productively use R&D capabilities. This dissertation argues that managerial attention plays an important role in explaining how firms derive value from knowledge combination and innovation. Attention-characterized by the selective application of time and focus of managers-shapes how firms view their environment, understand potential applications for new resources, and formulate strategy. To unpack the relationship between managerial attention and a firm's technological resources derived from knowledge combination, the theoretical foundations of this dissertation are motivated by integrating the elements of the attention-based view with Edith Penrose's theory on the growth of the firm. In Chapter 1, I consider the interplay between the temporal focus of managerial attention and a firm's pattern of technological search. I find support for hypotheses predicting a significant impact on levels of firm growth. In Chapter 2, I examine the external-facing role of attention as a signal to investors, and how the communication of managers interacts with a firm's observable pattern of technological search to influence how a firm's technologies are valued by those investors, finding empirical support for my hypothesis that alignment between managerial attention and a firm's technological search is positively associated with the valuation of that firm's new technology. Chapter 3 has two objectives which aim to expand on the insights offered in the first two chapters. I craft a modest theoretical comparison of Penrose's theory related to profitable growth with the attention-based view of the firm and extend the empirical analysis of Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 to further test the relationship between attention and knowledge combination. .
