摘要

颠覆性技术更有可能出现在产业的边缘还是核心，这是一个争论已久的问题。我们对技术利基与颠覆性创新的产生之间的关系进行了理论分析。在引入主要路径分析时，我们开发了一个新指标来描述企业在重点行业技术格局中的技术优势，并将其与企业的颠覆性创新绩效联系起来。此外，我们还考虑到企业的重组能力，对其边界条件进行了研究。我们以 1995-2019 年间美国专利商标局的 29,655 项电力通信行业专利（H04W/L）为样本，检验了我们的假设。我们的研究发现，企业的技术优势与颠覆性创新绩效之间存在倒 U 型关系。此外，企业的重组能力可以通过使曲线陡峭化来缓和这种关系。本文提供了一种权变视角，并确定了一种非单调关系，从而有助于调和 "异常值是否更具破坏性 "这一争论已久的问题。

Are outliers more disruptive? Technological niche, disruptive innovation, and recombinant capability

Whether disruptive technologies are more likely to emerge at the margin or the core of industry has been a long‐debated issue. We theorize the relationship between technological niches and the generation of disruptive innovations. Introducing the main path analysis, we develop a novel indicator to depict firms' technological niche in a focal industry's technological landscape and link it to their performance of disruptive innovation. Further, we investigate its boundary condition by taking firms' recombinant capabilities into consideration. A sample of 29,655 USPTO patents of the electric communication industry (H04W/L) for the period 1995–2019 is used to test our hypotheses. Our research reveals an inverted U‐shaped relationship between a firm's technological niche and its disruptive innovation performance. Besides, firms' recombinant capability could moderate the relationship by steepening the curvilinear. This paper helps reconcile the long debated question of ‘Are Outliers More Disruptive’ by providing a contingency perspective and identifying a non‐monotonic relationship.
