  • Architectural knowledge generation: evidence from a field study
    Item type: Journal Article

    Industrial and Corporate Change
    This article studies how a world-leading technology-intensive firm organized to renew its architectural knowledge (AK) to escape the mirroring trap. On the strength of a longitudinal, in-depth, qualitative study, we develop a process model that identifies the phases, learning modes, and core design decisions that led to new AK. The analysis of our case highlights that the development of architectural and component knowledge could not be perfectly separated. Further, we infer that the renewal of AK can be attained through partial mirroring and by dissolving extant technical and organizational boundaries. Finally, we show how resource constraints affect the extent of AK generation

  • The Rise and Fall of R&D Networks
    Item type: Journal Article
    Tomasello, Mario V.; Napoletano, Mauro; Garas, Antonios; et al. (2017)
    Industrial and Corporate Change
    Drawing on a large database of publicly announced R&D alliances, we empirically investigate the evolution of R&D networks and the process of alliance formation in several manufacturing sectors over a 24-year period (1986–2009). Our goal is to empirically evaluate the temporal and sectoral robustness of a large set of network indicators, thus providing a more complete description of R&D networks with respect to the existing literature. We find that most network properties are not only invariant across sectors, but also independent of the scale of aggregation at which they are observed, and we highlight the presence of core-periphery architectures in explaining some properties emphasized in previous empirical studies (e.g. asymmetric degree distributions and small worlds). In addition, we show that many properties of R&D networks are characterized by a rise-and-fall dynamics with a peak in the mid-nineties. We find that such dynamics is driven by mechanisms of accumulative advantage, structural homophily, and multiconnectivity. In particular, the change from the “rise” to the “fall” phase is associated to a structural break in the importance of multiconnectivity.
  • In search of markets and technology: the role of cross-border knowledge for domestic productivity
    Item type: Journal Article
    Arvanitis, Spyros; Seliger, Florian; Wörter, Martin (2023)
    Industrial and Corporate Change
    Internationalization of research and development (R&D) is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, it is understood as a driving force of global innovation performance; on the other hand, from a national perspective it is often perceived as a threat to domestic efforts. Against this background, we compare the contribution of domestic and international knowledge sourcing to the productivity of Swiss firms. We find a positive productivity effect of knowledge-sourcing activities in geographically close countries (in the European Union [EU]). Domestic knowledge alone or from other world regions does not yield positive productivity effects. We provide evidence that companies that source international knowledge to generate innovative products benefit disproportionately from knowledge sourcing in the EU and that both knowledge-and market-seeking motives may be relevant to this result.
