“…These new and emerging divisions will undoubtedly play a role in disrupting global supply chains and they are also increasingly affecting firm‐ and country‐level decisions on investment and innovation. In this regard, a special issue on collaborative innovation dynamics along the belt and road Chinese initiatives has been published in the journal (Chen et al, 2021). Thus, we expect this theme to be highly relevant going forward, as also witnessed in an ongoing special issue in R&D Management (Fu et al, 2023).…”

In 2020, R&D Management celebrated 50 years of publication. The present study honors that milestone by conducting a retrospective examination of the research conducted in the journal over time and reflects on its rich history to look forward in the R&D management field. Using bibliometric techniques, we provide a comprehensive analysis of the journal's most prominent topics and themes, as well as its most prolific authors, institutions, and countries. The findings indicate that R&D Management has increased its productivity and reputation as measured by the number of published articles and citations per year and expanded its international reach from the initial European‐dominated author base. We complement this analysis by performing an in‐depth systematic literature review of the most frequently cited papers – annually and of all time – to disentangle the themes and concepts that prominently shaped the progress of the discipline itself. The results suggest that R&D Management has progressively widened its field of investigation from an intra‐organizational perspective (1970–1992) to an inter‐organizational view (1992–2006) and then to an extra‐organizational outlook (2006–2018). Finally, based on this history and viewing the contributions from 2019 onwards, we identify an emerging set of research trajectories that we expect will pave the way for the future impact of R&D Management and the field at large.

Nonlinear spatial innovation spillovers and regional open innovation: evidence from China

et al. 2022

This paper examines the spatial innovation spillovers in different distance ranges in China.Results indicate that innovation spillovers do not decay with distance monotonously but appear to be a concave curve. Spatial innovation spillovers are superimposed effects, including both the positive effects of knowledge diffusion and the crowding-out effects of innovation resources and market rivalry. We also confirm that the regional open innovation can positively regulate such spillovers. Regions with higher intensity of open innovation could gain more substantial benefits from innovation spillovers. These findings provide manifold policy implications for reducing the inequality of regional innovation capacity.

“…Existing research on R&D cooperation focuses on the impact of specific partners, such as competitors [8], universities, and research institutions [9], and the intensity and diversity of latecomers' innovation. For latecomers, R&D partner selection is influenced by technological relevance and firm development experience [10], technological strength, and openness and status [11]. rough knowledge creation and technology transfer, R&D cooperation can help latecomers maximize the value of resources and promote the establishment of connections between latecomers and external resources with lower market transaction costs.…”

Knowledge Innovation Mechanism Based on Linkages between Core Knowledge and Periphery Knowledge: The Case of R&D Cooperation between Latecomers and Forerunners

With rapid changes in technology, knowledge innovation has become more and more complex. Complex partners facilitate knowledge creation and innovation in complex problem-solving. Relying on R&D cooperation with forerunners, latecomers can acquire new knowledge factors and new ideas and use them to create new knowledge. This study demonstrated the knowledge innovation mechanism based on linkages between periphery knowledge and core knowledge with knowledge map theory and set methodology. A case of R&D cooperation between latecomers and forerunners was introduced to verify this mechanism. The results show that latecomers could share forerunners’ periphery knowledge in R&D cooperation through formal and informal interaction and acquire the core knowledge factors in periphery knowledge based on the linkages between them. With these core knowledge factors, latecomers integrate them into their internal knowledge system and create new knowledge. By analyzing the linkages between periphery and core knowledge factors, this study creatively demonstrates the knowledge innovation mechanism in knowledge linkage perspective. It deepens the understanding of R&D cooperation between latecomers and forerunners and expands the focus of knowledge innovation theory. This study provides a new insight into latecomers effectively activating internal and external knowledge resources through R&D cooperation.
