By reviewing and categorizing recent OT research on transformative innovation, we show how engagement with this literature can yield novel insights within key TIP gap areas and beyond. In particular, recent OT work on emotions, social movements, and temporality offers promising opportunities to deepen TIP's understanding of capabilities, experimentation, and the systemic impact of policy interventions. More broadly, this paper contributes to TIP debates by advocating for stronger cross-pollination with OT to enhance the field's theoretical foundation and practical relevance.

However, recent perspectives challenge this view, suggesting that incumbents can adapt and innovate in response to technological disruption. This paper contributes to this debate by asking, “What factors influence incumbent firms' sustained market dominance amidst technological change?” We address this question by focusing on the automotive industry — a multi-technology sector characterised by products integrating diverse technological components with varying rates of change, and where incumbents serve a central role as “systems integrators.” By analysing the patent portfolios of the top 25 automotive Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) over a 30-year period (1990–2019), we provide valuable insights into innovation patterns within the automotive sector, specifically concerning the emergence of new technological fields and shifts in industry composition. Our analysis reveals that the structure and evolution of the industry's knowledge base inherently protect incumbents from new entrants, thereby explaining their dominance. This theoretical perspective, coupled with the observed transformation of the automotive industry, highlights the need to investigate whether incumbents' primacy in technological development alone could prevent a future industry shakeout in the absence of relevant investments in product and process innovation. The paper further argues that incumbent inertia amidst technological discontinuities presents a challenge for policymakers, emphasizing the potential need for regulatory intervention to accelerate the transition towards a greener automotive industry.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 9","pages":"Article 105304"},"PeriodicalIF":8.0,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144829978","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}

The KI index identifies breakthrough inventions by measuring their novelty (low similarity to prior patents) and impact (high similarity to future patents), whereas the CD index quantifies technological disruption by analyzing shifts in citation patterns. Using a dataset of over six million patents filed with the USPTO between 1980 and 2017, this paper finds that KI and CD indices are highly correlated and both effectively capture technological breakthroughs. Patents with high KI or CD scores typically originate from original and narrowly focused knowledge bases. However, the two indices exhibit distinct patterns: (1) the KI index fluctuates with economic cycles, while the CD index has experienced a steady decline over time; (2) the KI index positively correlates with future patent citation impact, whereas the CD index follows a U-shaped relationship with patent citation impact; and (3) small and remote teams produce higher KI but lower CD scores, potentially because larger teams cite newer, widely recognized references. I discuss innovation concepts—breakthroughs, disruptions, and beyond—to contextualize these findings and explore their implications for understanding technological advancement. These results contribute to the discourse on measuring innovation and underscore the complementary strengths of text-based and citation-based approaches in assessing technological progress.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 8","pages":"Article 105295"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144535012","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}

Yet, we still know relatively little how such rise has materialized in terms of Chinese scientists' openness to international collaborations and relative focus on high-impact research, particularly in relation to the U.S. Leveraging a unique, curated database of over 25 million scientific publications from 2008 until 2020, we aim to fill this gap and empirically investigate: (1) the extent to which collaboration of China-based researchers with scientists from other countries has materialized; (2) how competition in producing high-impact research has evolved for China, especially vis-à-vis the U.S., in the global production of science; and (3) whether specialization in well-defined fields has characterized China's ascent in science and, if so, in which areas. Our findings show that China's rise as a leading player in global science has importantly built on opening its knowledge production to collaboration, both domestically and internationally. This has been paired with a remarkable focus on high-impact research. Recently, China has entirely closed the gap with the U.S. in terms of contribution to the global top 1 % high-impact scientific production, specializing in four key fields – engineering/electrical/electronic, materials science, physics, and chemistry.

In this regard, direct subsidies are often presumed to be more explicitly geared toward encouraging collaborative innovation through the formation of consortia. However, the potential of indirect subsidies in this domain remains underexplored in extant studies. Moreover, these mechanisms rely on an unstated assumption: the entities receiving support are the best placed for its use. This article relaxes these assumptions by assessing a unique R&D tax break initiative, called the 64Bis, introduced by the provincial council of Biscay in the Basque Country, Spain. The 64Bis initiative enables an enterprise (Developer) to allocate the proceeds from this mechanism to an external organization (Financier). In exchange, the Financier sponsors the publicly backed R&D project. This article not only describes this policy instrument for the first time but also exploits the quasi-natural experiment conditions to examine between- and within-group heterogeneities. The between-group heterogeneities were analyzed using accounting data and one-to-one propensity score matching in order to construct a synthetic control group. Developers benefiting from this initiative between 2017 and 2021 were found to have acquired more knowledge than comparable enterprises during the same period. The within-group heterogeneities were examined using survey data and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to identify optimal configurational pathways that enhance knowledge acquisition via this policy instrument. Altogether, the findings suggest that implementing R&D tax incentives can encourage the formation of collaborative innovation systems, and have significant implications for both academic research and policy development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48466,"journal":{"name":"Research Policy","volume":"54 8","pages":"Article 105276"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144243396","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}

A significant challenge is the lack of reliable measures of innovation capability across countries, industries, and time. In this study, we develop a new measure of innovation capability called quality-weighted revealed innovation advantage (QRIA), which captures innovation capability more comprehensively and reliably than extant measures by simultaneously addressing issues of patent quantity distortion and patent quality heterogeneity. We apply QRIA to evaluate how globally competitive Chinese manufacturing industries (N = 22) have become in terms of innovation capability by using data from all invention patents granted by the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) between 1983 and 2017. Using China as the empirical context, our study provides the first worldwide comparative evidence of technological catch-up across countries and industries over time. Our analyses reveal that while Chinese manufacturing industries have seen significant growth in patents, there are notable differences and time-varying changes in their innovation capabilities compared to their global counterparts. Only two industries have narrowed their gaps with global leaders: (1) computer, electronic, and optical products manufacturing and (2) electrical equipment manufacturing.
