| Tiivistelmä: | This study focuses on the firm's decision to enter insular technology domains (henceforth as: doms.) with its effect on the impact of the subsequent innovation (here as: inn./inns.) on the field. Insular doms. are technical doms. relying heavily on prior inns. within the same domain for subsequent inns. The returns to entering insular doms. are shown to vary with the firm's depth and breadth of knowledge. Based on data from 128 biotechnology firms over a 20-year period, it is found that the relationship btw. depth of technological capabilities and technology impact is nuanced: depth is necessary but not sufficient for high impact inn. Firms with knowledge spread over disparate doms. have negative returns from entering insular domains. |
