No wonder that ‘knowledge-creating companies’ and ‘learning organizations’ draw practical and academic attention for their ability to build, acquire, integrate and reconfigure both internal and external sources of knowledge. Firm-level differentials in learning and managing knowledge also have been proved to influence not only research productivity but also adaptiveness to the ever changing environments. In response to the recent calls for more empirical inquiries into the way firms search for new ideas and convert them into innovative products or services, this 3-year project is a deliberate attempt to examine the relationships between organizational learning, innovation strategy and performance. In the first year, I intend to unveil the black box of persistent innovation based on the behavioral theory of the firm. Given exploratory actions were more risky and scarcer than exploitative ones, the current theory offers limited explanatory power over the phenomena that some innovative firms, despite of high performance in the past, are not trapped by the gradual routinization of its prior search patterns and continuously conduct effective search and then generate innovation. I would like to argue that the two innovation types are routinized differently by the evidence of both cross-sectional differences of firm innovation rates and temporal clustering of individual firms’radical and incremental innovations. In the second year of this project, I aim to extend my experience in knowledge search to its link with a firm’s persistent pursuit of innovation, so called theincidence of “the follow-on patenting behavior”. Drawing on the real options reasoning, a creative idea or an invention alone does not guarantee a real advantage whereas follow-on patenting activities do. This part of project plans to explore the influences of a set of factors at multiple levels on such a R&D investment decision that a firm chooses to or not to deepen its foothold in a newly entered technological area. In the 3rd year, with more experience accumulated around a firm’s patenting behavior, I am scheduled to investigate the performance implication of a firm’s patenting in a special context; that is, does the resource-based view (RBV) correctly predict how a firm’s patenting activity is evaluated in the initial public offering (IPO) market featured by information asymmetry. The sensitivity of RBV to IPO context can be further examined by if capital market evaluations of such value-adding activities are moderated by the signals of a firm’s technological exposure and the level of strategic competition. Overall, the three phases of this project demonstrate the links among a firm’s knowledge search patterns, innovation activities in terms of patenting, and market evaluations. Theoretical and managerial implications of my findings will be further discussed.知識蒐尋創新行為績效意涵Knowledge searchpersistent innovationinnovation performance
