Using innovation contests to promote the development of generic technologies

Designing Decisions in the Unknown: A Generative Model

“…The value of the knowledge lies in the new interdependence of d * and θ i (in terms of costs C(d * , θ i )). Note that this form of extension is not really examined in the literature on the unknown in strategic management; it is more common in the literature on platforms and the management of generic technology (Bresnahan and Trajtenberg, ; Gawer, ; Kokshagina et al ., ). We can see how the systematic framework unifies different types of unknowns and different types of exploration strategies.…”

“…external demands. That is, there is a fixation on designing specific, targeted products/services instead of designing generic solutions (Hooge et al ., ; Le Masson et al ., ; Kokshagina et al ., ).…”

State-owned enterprise, government, and the innovation ecosystem

“…The exploitation of these technologies will yield benefits for a wide range of sectors of the economy and/or society (Martin, 1993), such as promoting the entire industry's and even peripheral industries' development. Successfully developing GTs relies on actors who work on technologies and markets (Kokshagina et al, 2017), on basic research programs (Novelli, 2010), as well as on further developed, comprehensive systems (Rosenberg, 1976). Thus, the innovation ecosystems of Chinese SOEs usually are quite complex and inclusive in terms of the components and the value chain.…”

Organiser la création de connaissance pour l’innovation de rupture

“…Plus spécifiquement, nous présentons le résultat d'une étude de cas longitudinale chez STMicroelectronics (ST), une entreprise leader de l'industrie des semi-conducteurs et reconnue comme l'une des entreprises industrielles européennes les plus innovantes. ST (groupe franco-italien) a été choisi pour sa capacité à développer des innovations de rupture et à inventer de nouvelles formes d'organisation (Cabanes, 2017 ;Epicoco, 2013 ;Kokshagina et al 2017). Avec un chiffre d'affaires de 9,66 milliards de dollars (2018), ST figure parmi leaders mondiaux de l'industrie des semiconducteurs au côté d'Intel, Samsung et TSMC.…”
