Kesan, Jay P. Umeno, Soyoko 2015-09-25T20:55:40Z 2015-09-25T20:55:40Z 10000-01-01 2006 2006 The last essay examines the characteristics of patents that contribute to future innovation and affect the rate of technical changes in the agricultural biotechnology industry. Results from this essay imply that innovation networks in agricultural biotechnology are rather undifferentiated, in which various inventors take advantage of the diffusion of knowledge facilitated by patents. Further, such a structure would have a limited contribution to promoting new entries into the technological niche. However, the seemingly undifferentiated structure is constructed by observable players who connect multiple technical niches in this industry. As a result, they provide a structure in the innovation network, which is likely to increase positive externalities within the network. Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T20:55:40Z (GMT).
