how a product s design hierarchy shapes the evolution of technological Knowledge evidence from patent citation networks in wind power
Research Policy, 2016Co-Authors: Joern Huenteler, Jan Ossenbrink, Tobias S Schmidt, Volker H HoffmannAbstract:We analyze how a product's design hierarchy shapes the focus of inventive activity and the expansion of the underlying body of Knowledge, building on the complex-system perspective on technological evolution. This perspective suggests that the design hierarchy of a product can have an ordering effect on the evolution of commercialized artifacts, in particular when product design decisions on high levels of the design hierarchy set the agenda for subsequent variation and experimentation on lower levels. We extend this literature by analyzing the design hierarchy's effect on the evolution of the industry's Knowledge base, using the case of wind turbine technology over the period 1973–2009. We assess the technological focus of patents along the core trajectory of Knowledge Generation, identified through a patent-citation network analysis, and link it to a classification of technological problems into different levels in the design hierarchy. Our analysis suggests that the evolution of an industry's Knowledge base along a technological trajectory is not a unidirectional process of gradual refinement: the focus of Knowledge Generation shifts over time between different sub-systems in a highly sequential pattern, whose order is strongly influenced by the design hierarchy. Each of these shifts initiates the integration of new domains of industry-external Knowledge into the Knowledge base, thus opening windows of competitive opportunity for potential entrants with strong Knowledge positions in the new focus of inventive activity. We discuss implications for the understanding of the competitive advantage of specific Knowledge positions of firms and nations and technology policy for emerging technologies.

big data and new Knowledge in medicine the thinking training and tools needed for a learning health system
Health Affairs, 2014Co-Authors: Harlan M KrumholzAbstract:Big data in medicine—massive quantities of health care data accumulating from patients and populations and the advanced analytics that can give those data meaning—hold the prospect of becoming an engine for the Knowledge Generation that is necessary to address the extensive unmet information needs of patients, clinicians, administrators, researchers, and health policy makers. This article explores the ways in which big data can be harnessed to advance prediction, performance, discovery, and comparative effectiveness research to address the complexity of patients, populations, and organizations. Incorporating big data and next-Generation analytics into clinical and population health research and practice will require not only new data sources but also new thinking, training, and tools. Adequately utilized, these reservoirs of data can be a practically inexhaustible source of Knowledge to fuel a learning health care system.
