Patent Research Reading List

For the Academy of Management Professional Development Workshop Series

This is the reading list for the AOM PDW on Knowledge Flows. It has been revised in annual sessions of the Academy of Management Conference by - Jeff Furman (2009) - Riitta Katila and Kwanghui Lim (2008) - Jasjit Singh and Stuart Graham (2007) - Lowe and Veloso (2006) - Kwanghui Lim and Lee Fleming (2005) - Graham and Reitzig (2005) - Michelle Gittelman and Juan Alcacer (2004) - Rosemarie Ziedonis and Atul Nerkar (2003). Future organizers of this event are advised to request editing rights to this page from kwanghui, so that we keep it as a continually updated resource rather than reinventing the wheel each year ;-) The 2008 event was held on Saturday, Aug 9 2008 1:00PM - 3:30PM at Anaheim Convention Center in 212B (session 10277). Links to the speaker presentation slides are shown below.

E. The 2008 AOM Patent PDW

The 2008 event was held at the Academy of Management Conference in Anaheim. It was co-chaired and organized by Riitta Katila and Kwanghui Lim.

Riitta presented a brief introduction to patent-based research. The presentation slides, which were put together by Riitta in collaboration with Eric Giannella of Stanford, are available here.

Four papers were then presented by leading scholars:

Sharon Belenzon presented "Firm Size and Innovation: Evidence from European Panel Data" by Sharon Belenzon and Andrea Paatacconi [pdf]
Jeffrey Furman presented "Identifying the Impact of Institutions on the Generation and Diffusion of Knowledge: The Case of US Stem Cell Policy", based on collaborative research with Fiona Murray (MIT) and Scott Stern (Northwestern and NBER) [pdf].

Ajay Agrawal presented "Big Cities, Big Ideas? Regional Agglomeration and High Impact Innovation", a joint paper with Jasjit Singh [pdf]. 
Jasjit Singh presented "Lone Inventors as Sources of Breakthroughs: Myth or Reality?", based on joint work with Lee Fleming of HBS [pdf]

Scott Stern, the Discussant, then analyzed each paper in turn, highlighting the interesting contributions of each paper, while using them to illustrate fundamental empirical and methodological issues faced by researchers using patent data more broadly. His presentation slides are available here.

Kwanghui then conducted an open Q&A session with the audience, shared several concluding comments, and brought the session to a close.

F. The 2009 AOM Patent PDW

The 2008 event was held at the Academy of Management Conference in Chicago. It was organized by Jeff Furman.
Program Session #: 142 | Submission: 16459 | Sponsor(s): (BPS, TIM, OMT, IM, RM)
Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 8 2009 8:00AM - 11:00AM at Hyatt Regency Chicago in Columbus IJ

Chair: Jeff Furman; Boston U.;
Presenter: Jeannette Colyvas; Northwestern U.;
Presenter: Kwanghui Lim; U. of Melbourne;
Presenter: Fiona Murray; Massachusetts Institute of Technology;
Presenter: Tim Simcoe; U. of Toronto;
Presenter: Stefan Wagner; Ludwig-Maximilians U.;
Discussant: Scott Stern; Northwestern U.;

This PDW focuses on the use of patent data (and related measures of knowledge flows) for empirical management research. The primary goal of the PDW is to provide an introduction for researchers new to the area, balanced with a scholarly discussion of current critical issues in the patent area. This year, in addition to patent-based research, we PDW will also discuss how non-patent based methodologies can be combined with patent-based approaches for conducting research on knowledge flows. Several participants will discuss ways of combining patent with non-patent based approaches. The discussant will then comment on the presentations and share his views on the directions this field is progressing. The session then concludes with an open discussion (Q&A) with the audience.

Great content needs reorganization

This is a good collection of patents and slides presentations. I have given it a 5 star rating with the hope that it can be redone in a new visual format to enhance its appeal to readers.

A new format for presentations will improve its visibility and utility to readers with slide shows, abstracts and comments on patents in the main body.
