Dr. Manuel Sebastian Mariani has a new publication in "Technological Forecasting and Social Change"
Dr. Manuel Sebastian Mariani, a senior researcher, has co-authored a groundbreaking study published in "Technological Forecasting and Social Change." The study delves into the early indicators of a firm's research success, focusing on how the value of a firm's initial patents can predict future research achievements. It examines over 7,000 publicly listed firms and their patenting life cycles, revealing that early patents' economic value is a significant predictor of future success. Interestingly, the study also identifies a subset of firms, termed 'sleeping beauties,' which produce high-value patents later in their lifecycle, despite not showing early signs of high economic value. This research has significant implications for investors, policymakers, and managers in understanding and forecasting technological innovation and research success. ScienceDirect

Sangyun Kim receives the Best Paper Award at the Strategic Management Society conference
A paper by Sangyun Kim and Prof. Hart E. Posen (University of Wisconsin-Madison) has been chosen Best Paper for the Behavioral Strategy Interest Group at this year’s Strategic Management Society conference.
This study ("vicarious experimentation through imitation: evidence from video game sequel releases") examines an underappreciated question in research on imitation: how can innovators learn from being imitated? They call the process through which such learning occurs vicarious experimentation. Most prior work suggests that imitation is detrimental to the innovator’s advantage. By examining the implications of imitation as a source of experiential learning, the authors explore how being imitated may increase, rather than decrease, the innovator's performance. Results from the US video console game industry are consistent with the prediction that the innovator’s next-generation product has higher quality if the original product experienced more imitation. Furthermore, this effect is strengthened when the imitators are more visible in the market and the innovator successfully retains the product-specific knowledge embedded in its development unit.
