My primary streams of research examine how regulations influence the emergence of different types of innovation, and analyze the political strategies firms use during an industry’s emergence. In addition, I am currently working on a project that examines how different triggers for industry emergence necessitate different innovation management strategies. My current research is framed within the contexts of the emerging drone and counter-drone industries. I have sought to answer my research questions through theory development, qualitative research methods using detailed archival data, and quantitative methods. My research has practical implications for entrepreneurs and policymakers seeking to influence competition in high-tech industries.

Handbook of Innovation and Regulation

Innovations determine our living standards. Their realization and performance, in turn, are influenced by the regulatory environment. Regulations determine the size and positioning of a bicycle’s handlebar, the maximum weight of a drone, even the maximum amount of ink within a pen. Yet, the effects of regulation on technological innovation remain largely underestimated. Regulations are usually thought of as altering the quantity and speed of technological innovation via patenting and R&D. In reality, their effects are substantially more nuanced and extend not only to influencing the quantity but also to the type and characteristics of a technology. In this chapter, we review extant management literature to summarize the current state of knowledge in the field and present a framework that, we hope, will allow researchers to unravel the entanglement between regulation, the type and characteristics of emerging technological innovation, and, indirectly, the entry of new firms in the industry.

 

 

 

A Dynamic Model of Entrepreneurial Opportunity: Integrating Kirzner’s and Mises’s Approaches to Entrepreneurial Action.

Business failure and institutions in entrepreneurship: a systematic review and research agenda

Because entrepreneurship entails uncertainty, business failure is a common outcome for entrepreneurs. When entrepreneurs encounter business failure, they carry a financial, social, and emotional burden associated with the failure. However, the magnitude of this burden differs by institutions, influencing entrepreneurial decisions and behaviors. Although institutions governing the rules of business failure are a topic for a rapidly growing field of research, research on this topic is highly fragmented. Therefore, the purpose of this systematic review is to unpack the relationships between institutions—governing the rules of business failure—and entrepreneurial decisions/behaviors. The paper provides a fine-grained and comprehensive review of the relevant literature and develops an agenda to guide future research.
