Performance Differentials Between Diversifying Entrants and Entrepreneurial start-ups: A Complexity Approach (2009, positive): “Our model replicates the unequivocal empirical finding that diversifying entrants have a short-run performance advantage (Agarwal, 1997; Carroll et al., 1996; Klepper, 2002a,b; Klepper & Simons, 2000; Mitchell, 1991).”
Up-scaling, formative phases, and learning in the historical diffusion of energy technologies (2012, background): “Proposed originally by Abernathy and Utterback (1978), a dominant design is one which appeals to a wide number of users (beyond particular niches), and settles core design concepts in both components and their integration in a complex assembled product (Murmann and Frenken, 2006).”
Managing technological change in the digital age: the role of architectural frames (2014, background): “Conclusion Concurring with leading technology and innovation management research (von Hippel, 1990; Schilling, 2000; Ulrich and Eppinger, 2003; Langlois, 2006; Murmann and Frenken, 2006; Baldwin, 2008), we have introduced the notion of architectural frames to address limitations to manage technologi”
Industry Platforms and Ecosystem Innovation (2013, background): “Recent theoretical developments on dominant designs (Murmann and Frenken, 2006), recognizing that earlier research had been imprecise on products‘ architectural hierarchies, have proposed a systematic hierarchical model of dominant designs.”
Limits to the diffusion of innovation: A literature review and integrative model (2010, background): “If a complex product is an artefact bridging together more levels of technologies (each one with specific design settings) (Murmann and Frenken, 2006), then users may find it both risky and expensive to shift to a different technology made by technological subsystems utilising different components.”
Where do transactions come from? Modularity, transactions, and the boundaries of firms (2007, background): “But when IBM’s engineers modularized the architecture, they replaced those core dependencies with design rules, thereby shrinking the core (Tushman and Murmann, 1998, Murmann and Frenken, 2006).”
Technical Change and Industrial Dynamics as Evolutionary Processes (2009, background): “A dominant design is defined in the space of artifacts and is characterized both by a set of core design concepts embodied in components that correspond to the major functions performed by the product and by a product architecture that defines the ways in which these components are integrated (Murma”
Industrial Dynamics and Clusters: A Survey (2015, background): “There have been various attempts to test the product life cycle model systematically through the analysis of data on innovation and industrial dynamics (for an extensive overview, see MURMANN and FRENKEN, 2006).”
The Evolution of Management Models: A Neo-Schumpeterian Theory (2018, neutral): “1975; Dosi, 1982; Nelson and Winter, 1982; Freeman and Loucxã, 2001; Perez, 2002; Murmann and Frenken, 2006).”
