Communities, Knowledge, and Innovation: Indian Immigrants in the US Semiconductor Industry
This paper investigates the influence of technological, geographic, and ethnic communities on the innovativeness of Indian inventors. We study Indian inventors in the semiconductor industry in the US and examine their patenting profiles between 1975 and 1999 to identify the influences on the quantity and quality of their innovations. We find that inventors who rely on knowledge from technological and geographic communities enhance their innovativeness. Knowledge from the ethnic Indian community is related to inventor innovativeness in the form of an inverted U. The negative effect of knowledge gained from the ethnic community on innovativeness is pronounced for experienced inventors.innovation, knowledge, semiconductor industry
Study of the nickel silicates associated with the ultrabasic rocks of Nuggihalli schist belt, mysore state
The occurrence of some nickel silicate minerals as encrustations along joint planes and shear zones of the chromite bearing ultrabasic rocks of Nuggihalli schist belt is described. Chemical and X-ray study shows besides amorphous nickel silicate, the presence of granierite, nepouite or nickel antigorite. The nickel minerals are secondary developed by the action of circulating waters. The source of nickel is olivine, in the structure of which Ni is known to be present, either as camouflaged or captured ion
Subsidiary Development of New Technologies: Managing Technological Changes in Multinational and Geographic Space
This study explores the co-evolution of the subsidiaries of the multinational firm with their global organizations and geographic locations. We examine when and how subsidiaries make sense of and respond to technological changes in these environments to expand their scope and develop new technologies. Using the concept of local search, we propose that technological changes in a subsidiary’s parent firm and host country, in areas specific to the subsidiary’s expertise and at the broad industry level, have differential effects on subsidiary development of new technologies. We further propose that subsidiary innovative capability acts as a moderator, enabling subsidiaries to respond to technological changes and develop new technologies
Leveraging Knowledge Across Geographic Boundaries
This paper examines knowledge flows within and across geographic boundaries of clusters and nations in the biotechnology industry. We hypothesize that these flows are characterized by various factors relating to the knowledge itself and by firm innovativeness and the presence of prior knowledge flows at the firm level. Surprisingly, our findings suggest that geographic proximity does not matter in some instances, while in others it has a decidedly nonlinear effect opposite to that hypothesized. The pattern of findings points to the greatest contrast in the comparison of between-cluster and between-country flows and presents an opportunity to reevaluate the role of geography and knowledge flows
