Thus, to appropriate the value of standard essential patents (SEPs), firms need to win the first race in pushing proprietary technologies to become SEPs and the second race in exploiting SEP-related opportunities in follow-on innovations. This study investigates how, when, and to what effect firms strategically maneuver in follow-on innovations to maximize the value appropriation from SEPs. Drawing from a resource-based logic, we argue that SEP firms’ winning strategic maneuver involves such moves: (a) engaging in early follow-on innovation targeting SEPs, (b) prioritizing the exploitation of SEPs over non-SEPs, and (c) exploiting cross-follow-on innovations to take advantage of the information and network resources they obtain from their participation in the standardization process. We further argue that SEP firms’ strategic maneuvering results in high-quality follow-on innovations, which together with SEPs form stronger patent portfolios. Analyzing a unique dataset of patents from leading Chinese ICT firms matched with forward citations, we find empirical evidence that supports our arguments. Our research has important theoretical and managerial implications for firms’ strategic innovation management with a focus on technology standardization.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"53 6","pages":"Article 105023"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140918832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It provides evidence that the documented increased likelihood of project termination by ‘scientific’ entrepreneurs is associated with higher accuracy in recognizing project value. Unlike the control group, they are quicker in adjusting their expectations on project value downward before making the termination decision. This study also fills an important gap in prior research by exploring the longer-term implications (up to five years after the training began) of a scientific approach. It shows that, over the longer term, the initial discrepancy in termination rates between treated and control entrepreneurs levels out, with the control group eventually exhibiting a higher rate of project termination. Scientific entrepreneurs generate a higher number of new ideas, and a higher proportion of their projects culminate in the launch of a venture. Overall, these findings support the notion that scientific entrepreneurs are not excessively critical in their project assessments; rather, by terminating lower-potential projects earlier, they can free up resources for redeployment elsewhere.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"53 6","pages":"Article 105022"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0048733324000714/pdfft?md5=b5deb4f51d558a16c9b5b05b4cd887b8&pid=1-s2.0-S0048733324000714-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140880071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We claim that these two views are complementary, and that the degree of competition has an inverted U-shaped relationship (i.e., both positive and negative) with the degree of cooperation. Distinguishing between “current competition” and “proximity of future competition” and based on a sample of 180 coopetitive projects involving innovation and R&D in the biopharma industry, we show how current competition and the proximity of future competition impact the degree of cooperation in coopetitive projects. Specifically, we demonstrate the role of the proximity of future competition in directly reducing the degree of cooperation and moderating the impact of current competition on cooperation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"53 6","pages":"Article 105017"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140844077","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, how commercial and non-commercially oriented organisations each contribute to ML progress remains an open question. This study uses the recombinant innovation perspective as a lens to explore recombinant patterns across projects in an open source software (OSS) environment – where a great deal of ML innovation occurs – and assess how commercial orientation influences such patterns. It builds on a unique dataset containing data on 28,443 OSS projects, their code dependencies and the organisations owning them. Exploratory analyses reveal that ML projects combine larger and more diverse components, and produce more atypical combinations in shorter timeframes than other OSS projects, and that both company and non-company owned ML projects contribute to such recombinant atypicality. Regression analyses indicate that company owned ML projects tend to rely more on distant combinations of technical knowledge, whereas non-company owned ML projects tend to produce more novel combinations of application ideas. By extending the theories of recombinant innovation and motivation in OS innovation into a new setting – ML technology, this study contributes to both literatures by confirming that the link between distant recombination and innovation still holds in contexts characterised by complex search spaces, and by suggesting complementarities between commercial and non-commercial orientations in OSS environments rich in knowledge diversity and recombinant activity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"53 6","pages":"Article 105008"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S004873332400057X/pdfft?md5=43781dc0ba32a7042e18ad4c96a70835&pid=1-s2.0-S004873332400057X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140823143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a sample of 400 papers from seven top-tier management journals, we find that research based on non-US data tends to report more external validity threats, which makes it appear less generalizable. While the belief that the US constitutes a “typical” study context is shared by both US and non-US author teams, non-US co-authors tend to exhibit a relatively stronger bias against the generalizability of non-US samples in their studies.
