TLDR
This study examines how product innovation contributes to the renewal of the firm through its dynamic and reciprocal relation with the firm's competences through field research in five high-tech firms of varying age, size, and level of diversification.Abstract:
This study examines how product innovation contributes to the renewal of the firm through its dynamic and reciprocal relation with the firm's competences Field research in five high-tech firms of varying age, size, and level of diversification is combined with analysis of existing theory to develop the findings of the study Based on the notion that new products are created by linking competences relating to technologies and customers, a typology is derived that classifies new product projects based on whether a new product can draw on existing competences, or whether it requires competences the firm does not yet have Following organizational learning theory, these options are conceptualized as exploitation and exploration These organizational learning concepts are used to gain a dynamic and path-dependent view of product innovation and firm development, and to reveal the unique nature and challenges of different types of product innovation Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltdread more

Dynamic capabilities: A review and research agenda
TL;DR: In this paper, a research model is developed encompassing antecedents and consequences of dynamic capabilities in an integrated framework, and several issues surrounding its conceptualization remain ambivalent, and the authors identify three component factors which reflect the common features of dynamic capability across firms and which may be adopted and further developed into a measurement construct in future research.

The farm tractor and the nature of technological innovation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an investigation of technological; innovations in the farm tractor during a time period of nearly five decades from its genesis, and conclude that the observed advances in technology are attributable to variations in farm size and experience acquired in the production and utilization of the tractor over the course of time.
