Ahuja, G., Lampert, C. & Novelli, E. (2012). The second face of appropriability: generative appropriability and its determinants. Academy of Management Review (AMR), 38(2), pp. 248-269. doi: 10.5465/amr.2010.0290
Abstract
We distinguish between two forms of appropriability, primary—effectiveness in exploiting inventions as problem-solving mechanisms and capturing a share of their profits, and generative—effectiveness in exploiting inventions as concepts and capturing a share of the future inventions they spawn. Recognizing that generative appropriability has two components, cumulative invention and preclusion of others, we identify its key managerially manipulable determinants and discuss the implications of the construct for the literatures on the resource-based view and organizational learning.
