Know-how and asset complementarity and dynamic capability accumulation: the case of r&d
研究了20世纪70至80年代美国石油行业企业如何利用互补性技术知识和实物资产，在油价上涨时增加煤炭转化研发投入，揭示了动态能力的积累机制。
Dynamic capabilities enable firms to create new products and processes and respond to changing market conditions. This empirical investigation of dynamic R&D capabilities deals with the role of complementary know-how and other assets in the context of changing conditions in the U.S. petroleum industry during the 1970s and early 1980s. The analysis suggests that, in response to rising oil prices, firms with larger amounts of complementary technological knowledge and physical assets also undertook larger amounts of R&D on coal conversion (a synthetic fuels process). © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
