This study examines the relationship between knowledge management (KM) (in terms of external acquisition and internal sharing) and innovation behavior. The concept of absorptive capacity and assumptions from the dynamic capabilities view underlie the proposed framework and hypotheses. The...

Under what conditions do originators of innovation benefit from knowledge spillover by learning from knowledge recipients, and when do they not? This study examines how originator firms' learning from recipients differs depending on their spillover characteristics. These characteristics were...

Firms can use different sources of external knowledge for developing and implementing innovations. Some knowledge is provided deliberately by the source and constitutes intended knowledge spillovers, e.g., knowledge disclosed in publications or patent files. Other sources represent unintended...

This paper revisits the results of Bloom, Schankerman, and Van Reenen (2013) on the impact of R&D spillovers on growth. We extend their analysis to include an additional 15 years of data on firm R&D and performance, and update the measures of firms' interactions in technology space and product...

We use a novel, fifteen-year panel dataset on China's system of research institutes to examine the determinates of knowledge production, the role external factors play in increasing research productivity, and the extent to which distance mitigates these spillovers. We find robust evidence that...

This paper examines the importance of localized knowledge for innovative exporters by observing their embeddedness in regional innovation systems and international knowledge flow by using trade data on openness. The study distinguishes between new competence creation as proxied by patent...

This paper studies determinants of knowledge flows as measured with patent forward citations that occur between 'input' and 'output sector-countries'. We look at the impact of absorptive capacity of a focal sector-country, knowledge spillovers and technological distance between sector-countries...

Based on data from Germany, this study finds a positive link between using knowledge spillovers from rivals and innovation success in establishments without R&D but not in establishments with R&D. This supports the hypothesis that rivals knowledge is more valuable to establishments that are...

In this paper, we investigate the determinants of R&D cooperation in Korean information and communications technology (ICT) manufacturing firms. In particular, we focus on the differing role of determinants in R&D cooperation between ICT firms and non-ICT firms. Using data from the 2005 Korean...
