This study aims to answer the research questions of: “What are the core technologies in the process of technological convergence, and which corporations have such core technologies? Further, what are technological and strategic characteristics of such corporation?” As such, this study identifies the mechanisms of convergence technology as well as technology strategic characteristics of firms that possess the relevant technologies from the industrial perspective. Accordingly, we intend to draw corporate technology strategies by analyzing printed electronics as an exemplar of convergence technology, which developed through the combination of an existing technology (printing technology) and a high technology (electronics).
With regards to methodology, we expand the patent citation from technological standpoint to corporate standpoint. To this end, we employ the analytic methods of patent citation network in order to understand the absorption and outflows of technological knowledge among firms. Additionally, we construct strategic group map of corporate positioning and its trajectories by utilizing technology strategic indicators of patent portfolios.
Based on the analysis results, we noted that first, the firms with core functional technologies (ink: core function player) had central positions in the corporate network. Additionally, they showed a propensity of increasing the technological intensity on the printed electronics, while had the low knowledge source diversity. Second, the level of network centrality also appeared to be generally high in the firms that are in charge of coordination and integration among disparate technologies (device: Integrator) and firms engaged in manufacturing and commercialization through applications (electronics: Commercializer). Furthermore, within the strategic group map, these firms in general displayed the behavior of enhancing technological intensity on printed electronics along with knowledge source diversity. In other words, it indicates that such firms are employing the strategy of owning a diversified patent portfolio.
This study has implications as follows. The corporate strategy related to technological convergence should be established and implemented from the dynamic perspective which reflects evolutionary pattern of each technology field. This study also has an implication in that the research methodologies and structures in this study can be utilized for the policy evaluation framework in technology management and the related innovation strategy.
