Abstract
Abstract In this study, we argue that managing technological entrepreneurship effectively is crucial for firms’ competitive advantage and high performance. By using an inductive approach of a multiple-case study of Chinese technology-based manufacturing firms, we identify four complementary patterns of technological entrepreneurship (i.e. in-house R&D, R&D acquisition, R&D alliance, and R&D contracting) and find that possessing the uniqueness of knowledge assets and technological capabilities and capturing the value of knowledge assets and technological capabilities are the major determinants for firms to choose these patterns. Our study develops an integrative framework of technological entrepreneurship for emerging economy firms. Implications for theory, practice, and policy are discussed.
期刊介绍:
Entrepreneurship Research Journal (ERJ) was launched with an Inaugural Issue in 2011. Professor Ramona Zachary at Baruch College and Professor Chandra Mishra at Florida Atlantic University introduce a new forum for scholarly discussion on entrepreneurs and their activities, contexts, processes, strategies, and outcomes. Positioned as the premier new research journal within the field of entrepreneurship, ERJ seeks to encourage a scholarly exchange between researchers from any field of study who focus on entrepreneurs, and will include both theoretical and empirical articles, with priority being given to high quality theoretical and empirical papers that have managerial or public policy orientation as well as ramifications for entrepreneurship research overall. Topics: -Research Modeling, Design, and Methods: entrepreneurship theories and conceptualizations, entrepreneurship research methods. -The Individuals-Opportunities-Resources Nexus: nascent entrepreneurs, opportunity recognition, drivers of value creation, and emergence, innovation and technology entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial risk and reward, entrepreneurial cognition and behavior. -Inclusive of Near Environments: family entrepreneurship, networks, teams and alliances, venture capital and angel investor groups, entrepreneurial communities, hubs, clusters and public policy, social entrepreneurship. -Distinct Entrepreneurial Stage or Setting: entrepreneurial growth and strategy, boards, governance and leadership, corporate entrepreneurship, international and emerging market entrepreneurship.
