Abstract

Research on industry evolution highlights the role of knowledge-building activities of startups and established firms in shaping knowledge evolution in a nascent industry. Yet, research thus far has overlooked the possibility that differences between startups and established firms might also shape the diffusion of the knowledge that they build. This study abductively explores this conjecture in the context of solar energy by examining the extent to which the photovoltaic cell inventions that firms create spur subsequent inventions by other firms. In contrast with existing literature highlighting differences across firms in the types of inventions they create, this study reveals asymmetries between startups and established firms in the diffusion of the knowledge underlying their inventions, even when they create inventions with similar attributes.
新兴产业的知识传播:初创企业与成熟企业在促进其他企业发明方面的不对称
有关产业演变的研究强调了初创企业和成熟企业的知识积累活动在影响新兴产业知识演变中的作用。然而,迄今为止的研究忽略了这样一种可能性,即初创企业和成熟企业之间的差异也可能影响它们所构建的知识的传播。本研究以太阳能为背景,通过研究企业创造的光伏电池发明在多大程度上刺激了其他企业的后续发明,对这一猜想进行了归纳探索。现有文献强调了不同企业在发明创造类型上的差异,与此不同的是,本研究揭示了初创企业和成熟企业在其发明创造所蕴含的知识传播方面的不对称性,即使它们创造的发明创造具有相似的属性。
