“…Thus, the creation of novel products and services in this field is often a collective process characterized by a pronounced division of labor between various actors and institutions. Third, German laser research is a well-defined and documented technological field (Albrecht 2019;Buenstorf et al 2015;Fritsch and Medrano 2015;Kudic 2015).…”

From a macro perspective, inventor networks tend to generate remarkably stable structures over time. At the same time, we observe highly dynamic processes at the micro level, in terms of inventor entries and exits as well as formations and terminations of collaborative relationships between them. In order to explain this—at least at the first glance—contradicting pattern, we investigate processes at the intermediate network level. Our analysis draws upon co-patenting data for the entire population of West German inventors in the field of laser technology research from the onset of the technology in the early 1960s over a period of 45 years. Our findings suggest that the key factor for maintaining structural stability of networks is that directly linked partners of inventors with stabilizing properties—so-called ‘key players’—take over this function in a subsequent period. We show that processes at the intermediate network level provide new insights on the co-existence of micro fluidity and macro stability in complex adaptive systems.

“…The roots of laser research reach back into the early twentieth century (Albrecht 2019;Bromberg 1991). However, it took until early 1960 that a research group led by Theodore H. Maiman at the Laboratories of the Hughes Aircraft Company in Malibu (California, USA) could first demonstrate the existence of a laser effect.…”
