Capabilities, Intellectual Property Institutions, and Development
Country Capabilities “Driving explanation for sustained absolute country advantages is to be found in the persisting variation of organizational and institutional capabilities across time.” (Kogut, 1991:33-34) Capabilities are dynamic= “the capacity to renew competences” (Teece, Pisano, and Shuen, 1997:515)
How Do Firms Compete/Innovate? Create and Integrate Knowledge (Kogut and Zander, 1992; Grant, 1996) How do Entrepreneurs Innovate? Prior Knowledge-Based Creation (Shane, 2000)
Tangible and Intangible Resources Wernerfelt, Strategic Management Journal (1984) Grant, California Management Review (1991) Resource=any strength or weakness of firm; tangible and intangible assets tied semi-permanently to the firm (Wernerfelt) Major categories of resources (Grant, 119): Financial Physical Human Technological Reputation Organizational

Where does breakthrough technology innovation occur? “Invention is the first occurrence of an idea for a new product or process, while innovation is the first attempt to carry it into practice.” (Fagerberg, 2005:4) What characteristics of capabilities and institutions explain why breakthrough technology innovation takes place in one country but not in another?

How Do Entrepreneurial Universities Emerge? Public Good of Basic Science (Nelson, 1959) Entrepreneurial University and Public Research Institute (Etzkowitz, 1998)
How Do Technology Networks Emerge? Network Governance Facilitates Diverse Knowledge Integration (Powell, 1990) Public-Private Bio-Medical Technology Networks Integrate Science and Commercial Knowledge (Powell, Doput, and Smith-Doerr, 1996)
Do Patents Encourage R&D? Do Patents Encourage Technology Markets? Patents Solve Technology Appropriability Problem (North, 1981; Teece, 1987; Dam, 1994) Patents Facilitate Technology Markets (Arora, 1995)
How Do Risk Capital Markets Emerge? • Entrepreneurial Public Research Institutes and Universities (Incubators) • Public S&T Funding Agencies • Angel and Venture Capital Investors
