Abstract
Employee mobility has been shown to have competitive implications for firms, yet scant research has examined how firms respond to this event. This study examines how firms cope with the loss of an individual's personal resources as a result of mobility and make strategic actions to reduce the costs incurred by such loss. In this study, I investigate how mutual fund firms that undergo the exit of fund managers increase the production of a team-managed fund as an attempt to reduce the dependency of a fund on a particular individual and increase the sharedness of information resided in individuals. The analysis shows support for this idea. Spatial proximity between the source and recipient firms is further considered as one dimension that yields differential competitive challenges and responses of the source firm. The theoretical contributions of the present study are discussed.
