SUMMARY:Melissa A. Schilling\, PhD\, Stern School of Business\, New York Un
 iveristy
DESCRIPTION: \n\nAbstract There is considerable research asserting the impo
 rtance of\nexploratory search versus exploitative search\, however relativ
 ely\nlittle work examines strategies used to achieve exploratory search.\n
 How do individuals and firms explore uncharted technological terrain?\nThi
 s paper extends research on knowledge networks\, cognition\, and\nlearning
  to propose three main strategies of knowledge creation that\nare more lik
 ely to result in discoveries that are distant from\nexisting inventions: D
 eduction\, long search paths\, and synthetic\nrecombination. We test our a
 rguments using a large and unique dataset\non outlier patents filed at the
  US Patent and Trademark Office. Our\nfindings suggest that there are sign
 ificant differences in the\ninventor teams\, assignees\, and search strate
 gies that result in\noutlier patents. These results have important implica
 tions for\nmanagers that wish to encourage more exploratory search for\nbr
 eakthrough innovation.\n\nClick here for more information on Dr. Schilling
