  • Identifying Technological Competition trends for R&D planning using dynamic patent maps: SAO-based content analysis
    Scientometrics, 2013
    Co-Authors: Janghyeok Yoon, Hyunseok Park, Kwangsoo Kim
    Abstract:

    Patent maps showing Competition trends in Technological development can provide valuable input for decision support on research and development (R&D) strategies. By introducing semantic patent analysis with advantages in representing Technological objectives and structures, this paper constructs dynamic patent maps to show Technological Competition trends and describes the strategic functions of the dynamic maps. The proposed maps are based on subject-action-object (SAO) structures that are syntactically ordered sentences extracted using the natural language processing of the patent text; the structures of a patent encode the key findings of the invention and expertise of its inventors. Therefore, this paper introduces a method of constructing dynamic patent maps using SAO-based content analysis of patents and presents several types of dynamic patent maps by combining patent bibliographic information and patent mapping and clustering techniques. Building on the maps, this paper provides further analyses to identify Technological areas in which patents have not been granted (“patent vacuums”), areas in which many patents have actively appeared (“Technological hot spots”), R&D overlap of Technological competitors, and characteristics of patent clusters. The proposed analyses of dynamic patent maps are illustrated using patents related to the synthesis of carbon nanotubes. We expect that the proposed method will aid experts in understanding Technological Competition trends in the process of formulating R&D strategies.

  • Technological Competition, creative destruction and the competitive process
    2003
    Co-Authors: John Howells
    Abstract:

    This paper takes a simple definition of Competition as a threat to established revenues. It then develops this idea as it applies to Technological change through a series of illustrative examples. "Technological Competition" occurs only when one technology substitutes for another, for a given market. When innovation generates new uses - new markets - it does not result in Technological Competition. Schumpeter's "creative destruction" is based on extreme examples of the substitution process, where substitution progresses until the established technology is largely destroyed for a given market. It is shown that established technologies are not necessarily completely destroyed and that they may survive in niche markets or a market distinct from that threatened. Through a review of cases it is argued that the degree to which innovation is "radical" has an influence on the scale of threat imposed on established forms and so also influences their possible reactions to the threat. The Competition experienced between the innovating firms is considered as a distinct "competitive scenario" to that between innovators and establised firms. In some cases innovating firms may perceive a greater potential threat from Technologically similar rivals than from established firms. It is argued that there is no reason to move from Schumpeter's position on the role of Competition in providing the incentive to innovate; it remains a negative one, where innovation promises an escape from overcrowded markets.

  • the response of old technology incumbents to Technological Competition does the sailing ship effect exist
    Journal of Management Studies, 2002
    Co-Authors: John Howells
    Abstract:

    This article investigates whether firms react to a radical Technological substitution threat by a deliberate acceleration of innovation in their existing technolgy - the "sailing ship effect". It has been argued that the effect is both significant and widespread and warrants a reexamination of our assumptions about the working of the competitive process (Rosenberg 1972). Reexamination of two cases thought to be exemplars of the effect shows that it existed in neither. It is argued that if the phenomenon occurs, it is likely to be rare.

    Journal of Management Studies, 2002
    Co-Authors: John Howells
    Abstract:

    This article investigates whether firms react to a radical Technological substitution threat by a deliberate acceleration of innovation in their existing technology – the ‘sailing ship effect’. There have been repeated claims that the effect has been significant as a source of innovation (Foster, 1988; Rosenberg, 1976; Rothwell and Zegveld, 1985; Utterback, 1996). Detailed reexamination of two cases thought to be exemplars of the effect reveals that it existed in neither. It is suggested that the characteristics of historical, Technological substitution processes prompt misinterpretation based on superficial knowledge. Brief review of two other cases further supports this position. It is argued that if the phenomenon occurs, it is likely to be rare.

    Abstract:

    This article investigates whether firms react to a radical Technological substitution threat by a deliberate acceleration of innovation in their existing technology - the 'sailing ship effect'. There have been repeated claims that the effect has been significant as a source of innovation (Rosenberg 1976, Rothwell and Zegveld 1985, Foster 1988, Utterback 1996). Detailed reexamination of two cases thought to be exemplars of the effect, sail versus steam in ships and the Solvay versus Leblanc methods for alkali manufacture, reveals that it existed in neither. It is suggested that the characteristics of historical, Technological substitution processes prompt misinterpretation based on superficial knowledge. Brief review of three other cases further supports this position. It is argued that if the phenomenon occurs, it is likely to be rare.

  • Getting Competition Down to a Science: The Effects of Technological Competition on Firms' Scientific Publications
    Organization Science, 2011
    Co-Authors: Francisco Polidoro, Matt Theeke
    Abstract:

    Prior research about the interaction between private firms and the scientific community has largely viewed firms' articles in scientific publications as a means to improve research and development productivity-by encouraging their researchers to publish scientific papers, firms can maintain linkages with the scientific community, attract talent, and access external knowledge on which they can build to create innovations. This paper, in contrast, emphasizes the role of scientific publications in firms' battles for market dominance and examines how competitive conditions shape firms' propensities to publish scientific articles about their innovations. Focusing on the context of pharmaceutical drugs, we develop propositions about how the Competition that one drug faces from similar drugs and potential substitutes influences the innovating firm's inclination to publish articles in the top medical journals about that drug to facilitate its assessment by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the medical community. We also propose that scientific articles about competing drugs compel a firm to highlight its own drug in scientific papers to assert the drug's uniqueness and mitigate the threat of substitution. Whereas prior research has elucidated how science contributes to enhancing firms' competence at creating innovations, which is critical to their ability to compete in technology-intensive environments, this paper draws attention to how Competition, in turn, permeates into the scientific arena, creating inducements for firms to use scientific publications to position their innovations in the marketplace. © 2012 INFORMS.
