“…Because governments at higher levels control complementary assets such as licenses and service distribution channels (e.g., in telecommunications; Soh & Yu, 2010), they can aid their affiliated firms in commercializing technology. In addition, because IPR protection in emerging countries such as China depends not only on the legal system but also on political ties (Li, Park, & Li, 2004), affiliation with higher level governments reduces the risk of value misappropriation.…”

Drawing from institutional polycentrism, we advance understanding of how affiliation with different government levels influences innovativeness and profitability in emerging countries. Our framework suggests that as different government levels vary in their objectives and resources, they affect firm innovativeness vis-à-vis profitability in qualitatively different ways. The analysis of 18,430 Chinese firms shows that affiliation with higher-level governments enhances firms' innovativeness, whereas affiliation with lower-level governments is effective for enhancing profitability. Our framework also clarifies how location-specific institutional substitution occurs, indicating that the usefulness of government affiliation for innovativeness depends on how effectively legal institutions protect intellectual property in each region.

“…Some literature also have examined the role of the Asian government, China especially, in telecommunication industry development and infrastructure construction. For instance, Soh and Yu [39] analyzed the development of 3G networks in China and explained how regulatory impacts from government and domestic and foreign network operators are interdependent to each other.…”

The Making of a Sustainable Wireless City? Mapping Public Wi-Fi Access in Shanghai

et al. 2016

Abstract:In the context of the global information economy, ready access to the Internet is critical to a city's competitiveness, which has prompted a number of cities to launch plans to establish wireless networks. Most literature on the development of wireless cities focuses on cities in Western countries, and few have discussed how Chinese cities have adopted wireless technologies in their urban infrastructure development efforts. This paper examines recent development and spatial distribution of public Wi-Fi access in Shanghai, a leading business hub in China. We mapped Wi-Fi hotspots through the government sponsored "i-Shanghai" project and China Mobile Communications Corporation (CMCC). We find that while telecommunication providers have been proactively deploying WLAN (wireless local area network, a proxy of public Wi-Fi or wireless access) hotspots in Shanghai, neither government sponsored WLAN hotspots nor facilities established by CMCC could cover the old traditional neighborhoods in the central city and sub-districts in remote rural areas. We also address the development of a more sustainable wireless city in Shanghai with a particular focus on digital divide and social equity issues.

“…Non-market-based assets include: R&D subsidies and tax incentives, the establishment of licenses, management and operation, and political relations. Market-based assets include: localized expertise, customer experience, brand name and channel management experience [7]. Fang (2012) divides the complementary assets into internal and external complementary assets according to their degree of ownership and control, and proposes that the internal complementary assets are assets fully owned by the enterprise, and the rest belong to external complementary assets [8].…”

What attracts the increasing number of scholars' attention was that the innovators were often not the biggest beneficiaries of technological innovation. Teece came up with the concept of complementary assets to solve this problem, after which complementary assets have gradually become the hot topic of scientific research. This essay summarized the definition, classification, measurement of complementary assets as well as the relationship between complementary assets and innovation and commercialization that was proposed by scholars at home and abroad. At the same time, a brief view of current research situation of complementary assets was made. In the end, some thoughts on the further development of complementary assets were presented.
