You're invited to attend the Merrick School of Business Faculty Research Dialogue Series.
Join William (Bill) Carter, assistant professor of management as he shares research focused on, "Incumbents and Entrants: Strategic Choices in Response to Emerging Radical Technologies."
Overview of the presentation
Research has developed a valuable framework to explain and prescribe the type of strategy appropriate for entrepreneurial start-ups seeking to commercialize an emerging technology. One such strategy, cooperative commercialization in a 'market for ideas' (Gans & Stern, 2003), is increasingly common and necessary for entrepreneurs due to the complexity of modern technologies and the intensity of competition. Cooperation, however, is a bilateral choice, i.e. it requires a choice by an incumbent to cooperate. Current theory is limited as it does not account for how incumbent motives to cooperate influence the appropriateness of when to pursue cooperation and with whom.
His research seeks to open a new conversation to refine and extend theory on the 'market for ideas' by integrating an incumbent perspective on the competitive advantage implications of cooperating.
