| Methodological Pluralism and Innovation in Data-Driven Organizations. By Allen, Ryan T.;McDonald, Rory M. Administrative Science Quarterly. Jun2025, Vol. 70 Issue 2, p403-443. 41p. Abstract :Prior research on data-driven innovation, which assumes quantitative analysis as the default, suggests a tradeoff: Organizations that rely heavily on data-driven analysis tend to produce familiar, incremental innovations with moderate commercial potential, at the expense of risky, novel breakthroughs or hit products. We argue that this tradeoff does not hold when quantitative and qualitative analysis are used together. Organizations that substantially rely on both types of analysis in the new-product innovation process will benefit by triangulating quantifiably verifiable demand (which prompts more moderate successes but fewer hits) with qualitatively discernible potential (which prompts more novelty but more flops). Although relying primarily on either type of analysis has little impact on overall new-product sales due to the countervailing strengths and weaknesses inherent in each, together they have a complementary positive effect on new-product sales as each compensates for the weaknesses of the other. Drawing on a unique dataset of 3,768 new-product innovations from NielsenIQ linked to employee résumé job descriptions from 55 consumer-product firms, we find support for our hypothesis. The highest sales and number of hits were observed in organizations that demonstrated methodological pluralism : substantial reliance on both types of analyses. Further mixed-method research examining related outcomes—hits, flops, and novelty—corroborates our theory and confirms its underlying mechanisms. | |||
| The effect of R&D co-location on innovation activities in Great Britain. By Harris, Richard;Moffat, John Regional Studies. May2025, p1. 3 Illustrations. Abstract :This paper analyses the effect of research and development (R&D) co-location on the extensive and intensive margins of innovative activities. To mitigate modifiable areal unit problems, measures of co-location are constructed using distances between plants. The results show that intra-industry R&D co-location has little effect on innovative activities, whereas inter-industry R&D co-location has positive effects, although these tend to diminish as co-location increases. In low-tech industries, the effects of inter-industry co-location are driven by co-location with businesses in related industries, but in high-tech industries, they are the result of R&D co-location with unrelated industries. | |||
| The role of intra- and inter-regional relatedness and unrelatedness for the geography of breakthrough technological innovation: evidence from the US. By Chen, Yijia;Gong, Huiwen Regional Studies. May2025, p1-16. 16p. 4 Illustrations. Abstract :Not all innovations are alike. Breakthrough technological innovations have a greater impact on regional development and are a key topic in economic geography. However, most studies focus on intra-regional factors, with little attention given to inter-regional perspectives. To address this, we extend the concepts of relatedness and unrelatedness density from the intra- to the inter-regional scale. Using US patent data from the period 1976–2015, we find that both intra-regional (un)relatedness density and inter-regional (un)relatedness density contribute to the emergence of breakthrough technological innovations in regions. Moreover, intra-regional relatedness density can reinforce the role of other types of (un)relatedness density in breakthrough technological innovations. | |||
