Abstract The present study suggests a cross-citation measure comprised of design and utility patents and proposes a model of innovation pollination. The case of Dyson Ltd. provides empirical evidence of how a design-led, a technology-led, or a cross-pollinating innovation can function in the product innovation. Our findings reveal that the evolution of innovation pollination has distinguishing features according to the product category and the function of the company's prior innovation experience. Dyson's renowned bladeless fans and its bagless vacuum cleaners have been strongly driven by design and technology innovation, such cross-pollination is infrequent. We further discuss the implications technology, design, and innovation management strategy.

创新是设计驱动还是技术驱动？引用作为创新授粉的衡量标准

摘要 本研究提出了一种由设计和实用专利组成的交叉引用措施，并提出了一种创新授粉模型。Dyson Ltd. 的案例提供了设计主导、技术主导或异花授粉创新如何在产品创新中发挥作用的经验证据。我们的研究结果表明，根据产品类别和公司先前创新经验的功能，创新授粉的演变具有显着特征。戴森著名的无叶风扇及其无袋真空吸尘器受到设计和技术创新的强烈推动，这种异花授粉并不常见。我们进一步讨论了技术、设计和创新管理策略的影响。
