Market Motives, Distinctive Capabilities, and Domestic Inertia: A Hybrid Model of Innovation Generation

Location, Location, Location: How Network Embeddedness Affects Project Success in Open Source Systems

“…The number of downloads is a market-based measure of popularity, which should relate to product use, particularly when software is distributed through a single channel as in the case of SourceForge.net (e.g., Crowston et al 2003). When a software product is freely available, researchers have used downloads as a surrogate for "sales" (e.g., Chandrashekaran et al 1999).…”

Innovation Generation in Supply Chain Relationships: A Conceptual Model and Research Propositions

“…Indeed, a number of influential innovation studies, despite offering interesting data-based insights, have been criticized for being atheoretical (Brown and Eisenhardt 1995;Taylor and Lowe 1997). Although a number of researchers have investigated factors influencing innovation generation (Chandrashekaran, Mehta, Chandrashekaran, and Grewal 1999;Cooper 1998;Cooper, Edgett, and Kleinschmidt 1998;Griffin 1997), a comprehensive conceptual examination of upstream supply chain relationship factors in innovation generation has not been attempted.…”

Reliance on R&D Partnerships: The Influence of Short-Term R&D Bias and The Nature of Competition

“…In contrast, where competition is based on product innovation, new products are essential if firms are to gain competitive advantage (Harris & Mowery, 1990;Damanpour, 1991;Chandrashekaran et al, 1999;Pavitt, 1999). Innovation-based competition thus necessitates the creation and development of products that are superior to others in the market (Friar, 1995;Lau, 1998;Mia & Clarke, 1999).…”
