Interfirm cooperation and startup innovation in the biotechnology industry

Shan, Weijan, Walker, Gordon, Kogut, Bruce·1994·Strategic Management Journal

Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the association between interfirm cooperation and the innovation output of startup firms in the biotechnology industry. A reciprocal association is hypothesized. The results, however, show only that cooperation affects innovation. Several control variables are related to cooperation and innovation, especially the startup's position in the cooperative network.

  • Shan, Walker and Kogut (1994) suggest that the number of collaborative relationships that a firm is involved in is positively related to innovation output.

    “For example, Shan, Walker and Kogut (1994) suggest that the number of collaborative relationships that a firm is involved in is positively related to innovation output, while conversely, closed networks have been found to foster innovation more than open ones (Coleman, 1988).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
