Converting technological inventions into new products: The role of CEO human capital (2021)
Journal Article
Nasirov, S., Li, Q. C., & Kor, Y. Y. (2021). Converting technological inventions into new products: The role of CEO human capital. Journal of Product Innovation Management, 38(5), 522-547. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpim.12601

Despite technological inventions being a key input to new product development, companies often struggle with commercializing new technologies via the product development route. Drawing on a sample of publicly traded U.S. manufacturing companies that... Read More about Converting technological inventions into new products: The role of CEO human capital.

The role of technology standards in product innovation: Theory and evidence from UK manufacturing firms (2020)
Journal Article
Foucart, R., & Li, Q. C. (2021). The role of technology standards in product innovation: Theory and evidence from UK manufacturing firms. Research Policy, 50(2), Article 104157. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.respol.2020.104157

This paper studies the role of technology standards in firms' product innovation in terms of both incremental innovation (within a technology life cycle) and radical innovation (beyond the present technology cycle). We first develop a theoretical mod... Read More about The role of technology standards in product innovation: Theory and evidence from UK manufacturing firms.

Joining Standards Organizations: the role of R&D expenditures, patents, and the product-market position (2018)
Working Paper
Baron, J., Li, C., & Nasirov, S. (2018). Joining Standards Organizations: the role of R&D expenditures, patents, and the product-market position

This paper studies collaborative innovation in the context of developing open technology standards coordinated by standards organizations. Using longitudinal data from the world's largest R&D investors matched with membership information from 180 sta...

Participation in export markets and the role of R&D: establishment-level evidence from the UK Community Innovation Survey 2005 (2010)
Journal Article
Harris, R., & Li, Q. C. (2010). Participation in export markets and the role of R&D: establishment-level evidence from the UK Community Innovation Survey 2005. Applied Economics, 43(23), https://doi.org/10.1080/00036840903427190
