Developing marketable products based on proprietary technologies is the key to success in many firms, but it is still a big challenge. Factors explaining when technologies are more likely to lead to a marketable product are not fully understood yet. This gap calls for further research on this important topic. The present paper addresses this issue by focusing on specific characteristics of technologies - i.e., their nature as breakthrough technologies and their generality - which can be considered as suitable predictors of new product introduction (NPI). Specifically, we study if and how these characteristics affect the likelihood of NPI. Moreover, in our research model, we argue that the effects of technology characteristics on NPI are contingent upon the degree of a firm's R&D internationalisation. We examine this moderating firm-level factor in a cross-level study design. We develop several hypotheses and test them with objective patent and novel trademark data. In detail, the analyses are based on a unique and longitudinal sample of 11,385 patents and 1,783 trademarks registered at the USPTO in the energy conservation sector by 696 different companies. By adopting hierarchical linear modeling (HLM), we reveal that the likelihood of NPI is positively related to the breakthrough nature of technologies; this effect turns negative when the level of breakthrough nature is very high. Instead, technological generality has a negative influence on NPI. Finally, the degree to which firms internationalise their R&D activities negatively moderates those relationships.

技术特征,研发国际化和新产品推出之间的相互作用:来自节能部门的经验证据

在许多公司中,基于专有技术开发适销对路的产品是成功的关键,但这仍然是一个巨大的挑战。尚不完全理解解释何时技术更可能导致适销对路的产品的因素。这种差距要求对该重要主题进行进一步研究。本文通过关注技术的特定特征(即其作为突破性技术的性质和普遍性)来解决此问题,可以将其视为新产品推出(NPI)的合适预测指标。具体来说,我们研究这些特征是否以及如何影响NPI的可能性。此外,在我们的研究模型中,我们认为技术特征对NPI的影响取决于企业研发国际化的程度。我们在跨层次的研究设计中研究了这种缓和的企业层次因素。我们提出了几种假设,并用客观的专利和新颖的商标数据对它们进行了检验。详细地,分析是基于696个不同公司在美国专利商标局在节能领域注册的11,385项专利和1,783商标的独特而纵向的样本。通过采用分层线性建模(HLM),我们揭示了NPI的可能性与技术的突破性正相关。当突破性水平很高时,此效果变为负值。相反,技术普遍性会对NPI产生负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。我们提出了几种假设,并用客观的专利和新颖的商标数据对它们进行了检验。详细地,分析是基于696个不同公司在美国专利商标局在节能领域注册的11,385项专利和1,783商标的独特而纵向的样本。通过采用分层线性建模(HLM),我们揭示了NPI的可能性与技术的突破性正相关。当突破性水平很高时,此效果变为负值。相反,技术普遍性会对NPI产生负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。我们提出了几种假设,并用客观的专利和新颖的商标数据对它们进行了检验。详细地,分析是基于696个不同公司在美国专利商标局在节能领域注册的11,385项专利和1,783商标的独特而纵向的样本。通过采用分层线性建模(HLM),我们揭示了NPI的可能性与技术的突破性正相关。当突破性水平很高时,此效果变为负值。相反,技术普遍性会对NPI产生负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。696家公司在美国专利商标局在节能领域注册了783个商标。通过采用分层线性建模(HLM),我们揭示了NPI的可能性与技术的突破性正相关。当突破性水平很高时,此效果变为负值。相反,技术普遍性会对NPI产生负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。696家公司在美国专利商标局在节能领域注册了783个商标。通过采用分层线性建模(HLM),我们揭示了NPI的可能性与技术的突破性正相关。当突破性水平很高时,此效果变为负值。相反,技术普遍性会对NPI产生负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。技术普遍性对NPI有负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。技术普遍性对NPI有负面影响。最后,企业对研发活动进行国际化的程度对这些关系产生负面影响。
