Effects of incumbency and R&D affiliation on the legitimation of electric vehicle technologies

Article Abstract:

It has been hypothesized that rational competitions among emerging technologies are distorted by non-economic forces such as affiliation and incumbency. To test this hypothesis, the dynamics in the competition among emerging electrochemical innovations for the electric vehicle industry were studied using morphological analysis. The results showed that incumbency was not a major variable while effects of R&D affiliation were marginally significant.
