| Abstract: | Technological skills of inventors have become important for
innovation and competitiveness of firms in the knowledge based industries. With
the emerging globalization, firms that make use of technological competence of
inventors worldwide innovate and prosper faster. The present study examines how
national or foreign firms leverage the technological competence of inventors
from select Asian and other countries. A related question has also been
examined as to how these firms leverage technological competence of inventors
exclusively from foreign countries without the involvement of inventors from
their own countries. The study presents a methodology for extracting relevant
data and analysis of bibliographic information in a patent document to provide
insights into firms’ innovation strategies while leveraging technological
competences of inventors.
The case study of leveraging technological
competence of inventors from India, by foreign or national firms, has been
presented in detail to provide policy relevant to understanding of the pattern
of distribution of assignee firms or other organizations leveraging the
competence (a) by performing sector viz. industry, university or government, (b)
by countries of origin of firms, (c) the role of key foreign or Indian firms,
and (d) the technical areas in which technological competence is leveraged.
Similar studies could be undertaken in case of other countries as well to
formulate innovation strategy and policy at the national or firm level. |
