Speaker: Ting Xiao, Assistant Professor of Organization and Strategic Management, Guanghua School of Management, Peking University.

Abstract

While the knowledge recombination perspective stresses that innovation comes about through manipulation of knowledge components as well as their architecture. The value of a new innovation depends on firms’ ability to use it. This ability is not likely to be uniform across firms. In particular, the innovating firm that creates the innovation and non-innovating firms, those that did not come up with the innovation but intend to use it, are expected to differ in their ability to use an innovation. We argued that the reason for this stemmed from firms’ differential capacity for diagnosing and implementing the architectural changes associated with a new innovation, which are not readily discernable or easily understood in comparison to the relatively more straightforward process of identifying its knowledge components. Thus, this study examines how changes in two different architectural features—connectedness and clustering—influenced innovating and non-innovating firms’ use of a new innovation. Drawing on pharmaceutical patent data, we find general support for our arguments. This research furthers theoretical understanding of the role of architecture on innovation use in the knowledge recombination process.
