R&D has typically been structured and managed in terms of its maturity on a scale that spans from initial concepts to marketable products. In contrast to a linear, stage-gate process that such a scale implies and for which many management tools have been developed, R&D breakthroughs and disruptive innovation typically emerge from coupled feedback loops and timely decisions in response to unplanned...
Firms voluntarily incorporating corporate social responsibility (CSR) principles often assume they can benefit from some kind of competitive advantage. Yet, we know relatively little about the impact of different dimensions of CSR activities on firms' environmental innovation or their impact on performance. This paper distinguishes between the strategic and responsive dimensions of CSR and investigates...
How do firms leverage existing innovation for the next round of innovation? We develop a novel concept of generative capability in product innovation to address this question. As a high-level organizational routine, generative capability applies the mechanisms of iteration and rapid knowledge integration to guide ordinary innovation activities. Based on panel data from 2001 to 2009 of 56,333 firm-year...
Advancement in Information Technology requires reassessment in decision making regarding investment for the success of project management. The barriers of an Information Technology project should be acknowledged before implementing an organizational innovation. The purpose of this paper is to summarize and analyze the risk factors that should be regarded in Information Technology Project Management...
This article tries to demonstrate a new dual-factor explaining mechanism for why emerging economy enterprises could achieve technological catch-up under the situations of technological accumulation lacks, complex international environments and inferior social reputations. We select 259 firms from 37 industries as our sample to do empirical research and found that technological discontinuity is positively...
New technologies associated with the current digital transformation promise high production improvements, but require new competences, which have to be built up in advance. While scientific research and innovation management have acknowledged the importance of the digital transformation for the long-term success of firms, little research effort is dedicated to empirically determine how competence...
As a result of globalization and increasing numbers of application filings around the world, the harmonization of intellectual property systems has become a key global issue. Many previous studies have examined the issue of harmonization, from industrial, IP policy, and enterprise perspectives, but have not taken inventors' points of view into consideration. Therefore, we have administered a questionnaire...
Knowledge mobility is more challenging in service innovation networks due to the nature of intangibility and co-development of service innovation. A central question is how to govern knowledge mobility for service innovation performance in such innovation networks. Given the inconsistent findings, more comprehensive research is needed to uncover the effects of contract-based and relation-based governance...
Start-Up formation and execution can be a daunting proposition for a technologist. The uncertainty and number of unknowns translate into substantial risk, which can discourage an engineer from even starting a company. One approach to address that risk is through instruction; by understanding the path through the start-up process, the variability is decreased and confidence can be cultivated. Although...
Organizations ranging from the Internet, to economies, to large global corporations, to rapidly changing technological ecosystems can be thought of as Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS). When viewed from the bottom-up CAS is often characterized by distributed control, connectivity, co-evolution, emergence, and unpredictability. When viewed from the top-down characteristics such as an implicit order, qualified...
There has been an increasing emphasis to understand the dynamism of firms in high-tech clusters given the economic prospect they offer to themselves and regions housing these clusters. This has placed a pressing need for researchers and practitioners across the globe to quantify absorptive capacity of a firm which is a measure of dynamic capability of a firm. Bengaluru being one of the “global hubs...
The creation of new businesses is crucial for an enterprise's sustainable growth. An improvement in management methods for reinforcing R&D capabilities is an urgent concern for any technology-based enterprise. Among many studies of new management theories and methodologies, technology roadmapping, for consideration of future prospects, has come into the spotlight. The Japanese Government released...
