abstract = {The Resource-Based View has been central to understanding patent litigations in patent strategy research. Recent studies, however, have found mixed results in the link between patent litigations and changes in patent production and financial performance. We advance a more nuanced study based on the Organizational Learning literature, examining patent litigations as a source of organizational learning that comprehensively occupies managerial attentive capacity. We specifically investigate two types of organizational learning, direct learning by own patent litigations and indirect learning by others' litigations, and their influence on patent production and financial performance. Based on an analysis of the semiconductor industry, we find that (a) plaintiff firms have reduced patent production, (b) industry litigation intensity further diminishes the plaintiff firms' patent production, (c) plaintiff firms have enhanced financial performance, and (d) industry litigation intensity further strengthens the plaintiff firms' financial performance.},

The Role of Venture Capital in the Development of Networks and Financial Markets for Entrepreneurs Conference

abstract = {In this project, we seek to evaluate the role of venture capital in the development of country-level entrepreneurial ecosystems. We propose that the value-adding role of venture capital is inversely related to the overall quality of entrepreneurial ecosystems. We specifically argue that venture capital is an important complementary resource in the entrepreneurial process, providing entrepreneurs with access to critical financial assets as well as contributing to the development of local, regional, and national entrepreneurial networks. Accordingly, we expect venture capital flows to be higher in counties with underdeveloped entrepreneurial ecosystems, providing venture capitalists an opportunity to better leverage their financial and human resources, thus enhancing return prospects on the invested capital while contributing to the development and functioning of entrepreneurial ecosystems.},

abstract = {Cities have long played a vital role as industrial hotspots at the center of any nations' economic development. Each city has different resources and capabilities to develop specific industries, and economic partnerships between cities are essential to developing these resources into economic value. However, few city planners have clear directions in choosing partner cities, and their decisions are rarely based on appropriate data analysis. Based on Brookings Institution's Global City Initiative 2.0 project, we introduce a step-by-step guideline to city planners in finding global partner cities. Additionally, we share our own anecdote regarding how Philadelphia chose potential partner cities to attract more FDI in its biopharmaceutical. This case-based paper provides practical implications to city planners in prioritizing the market by global partnerships.},

abstract = {Building on previous literature explaining the superior performance of urban geographies, we propose new perspectives on intra-metropolitan innovation networks. We stipulate that demographic differences between inventors in city centers and the suburban areas serve as sources of diversity and collaboration between the inventors, contributing to the quality of innovation. We find empirical evidence for this claim by matching USPTO patent data with information on CBSA geographic distinction. Furthermore, our findings suggest that firms located within a city center support the establishment of this urban-suburban connectivity while foreign firms suffer the liability of foreignness in this regard. Notably, innovation practices of universities and leading innovators in the region indicate lower intra-metropolitan connectivity.},

abstract = {Culture is a deep-rooted source that makes differences among the countries and asymmetry in culture affects how consumers behave as well. This paper will address this relationship by applying Hofstede's six cultural dimensions to the consumer's response to a new product within the software industry. To empirically test the relationship in a real-life-based setting, I analyzed how consumers in different cultural backgrounds reacted to Windows 10 updates. The results suggest that users in low Masculinity, low Power Distance, high Indulgence culture were more open to the new software products. Additionally, I could observe an inverted-U-shaped relationship between Long Term Orientation culture of users and their software adoption rate. Overall, users in a culture which 1) conforms to the software policy to update the software, 2) does not feel comfortable with situation that might create inequality, and 3) enjoys benefits of new products regardless of social norm tend to have higher innovation penetration rate. This paper also implies that innovation in software products was not considered ?uncertainty? anymore, nor something that requires an investment of time and effort.},

note = {Recently, the focus of the international business has been shifted from a country-level to a sub-national level, with the better availability of more fine-grained data and new interdisciplinary research. Especially, ?global city? has become a key topic in international business due to their superior economic performance. Their superior can be explained by 1) well-developed infrastructure attracts many different people and firms to be concentrated in a dense area, and 2) global connectivity of the global cities provides access to more opportunities and knowledge outside the metropolitan area. These two factors are very closely related. World-class firms and talented people in the metropolitan area provide more chances to be connected, both within a city and across different cities across co},
