Abstract
This study examines the relationship between technology purchase, in-house R&D, and patenting activities of firms in India’s high- and medium-technology industries. The study is divided into two periods, i.e., 1995–2005 and 2006–2015, based on the pre- and post-product patent amendment 1 act, 2005. We employ a negative binomial model with fixed and random effects to estimate the impact of technology purchase over R&D and patenting activity, respectively. The estimates of the R&D equation suggest a complementary relationship between technology purchase and in-house R&D. However, the estimates of the patents equation suggest a substitute relationship between in-house and technology purchase. Further, we find an inverted U-shaped relationship between in-house R&D, technology purchase, and patenting activities. However, the interaction between in-house R&D and technology purchase positively moderates the nonlinear relationships. Lastly, our estimated result is sensitive to different industries and periods.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Innovation (IJIM) is the official journal of the International Society of Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM). Both the IJIM and ISPIM adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the many challenges of managing innovation, rather than a narrow focus on a single aspect such as technology, R&D or new product development. Both are also international, inclusive & practical, and encourage active interaction between academics, managers and consultants.
