Abstract

In this study, we argue that managing technological entrepreneurship effectively is crucial for firms’ competitive advantage and high performance. By using an inductive approach of a multiple-case study of Chinese technology-based manufacturing firms, we identify four complementary patterns of technological entrepreneurship (i.e. in-house R&D, R&D acquisition, R&D alliance, and R&D contracting) and find that possessing the uniqueness of knowledge assets and technological capabilities and capturing the value of knowledge assets and technological capabilities are the major determinants for firms to choose these patterns. Our study develops an integrative framework of technological entrepreneurship for emerging economy firms. Implications for theory, practice, and policy are discussed.
