Assembling the elephant : a review of empirical studies on the impact of technical change upon incumbent firms
This paper reviews 15 empirical studies of the impact of technological change upon incumbent firms. These studies employ different definitions, use different taxonomies, and rely on differing causal mechanisms. This evidence, though extensive, draws largely upon U.S. contexts. There is a need to expand our research to other countries, because the impact of technological change may differ across countries. The paper integrates those phenomena via three dimensions: the management of complexity, the external linkages of innovating firms, and the institutional environment.
