Beyond local search: boundary‐spanning, exploration, and impact in the optical disk industry
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
A typology of exploration behaviors is created that finds that the impact of exploration on subsequent technological evolution within the optical disk domain is highest when the exploration spans organizational boundaries but not technological boundaries, and when exploration spans both organizational and technological boundaries.
