Technology-Based Strategic Actions in New Firms: The Influence of Founding Technology Resources
研究了67家计算机和电信公司，发现创始技术的创新性会影响企业后续是否建立专利组合和组建联盟，但对专利组合的重要性影响不显著。
This research proposes that qualities of founding resources can account for differences in subsequent resource-based actions. Our analysis of 67 computer and telecommunications firms shows that the innovativeness of a firm's founding technology resources is associated with the decision to build patent portfolios, but not the importance of these portfolios, and with the decision to form alliances and the rate of alliance formation. Our findings suggest that initial technologies provide a foundation for a firm's subsequent technology-based actions and, more importantly, that the qualities of these resources play a key role in these actions.
