Research on Knowledge Creation Over Time Using Network Analysis: SiC Power Device from Research to New Business

The research on knowledge creation over time through network analysis holds significant importance in the domains of knowledge management and innovation. Specifically, when applied to the Research and Development (R&D) sector, analyzing the changes over time using network analysis can offer a visual representation of how knowledge creation evolves. This visualization can be invaluable in making informed decisions regarding R&D strategies within organizations. The results of overlaying the time-series network analysis of jointly filed patents and the market report show that as R&D progresses and the market grows, it is becoming increasingly concentrated in groups of several companies that have a large market share, which is interpreted by the companies that research and develop SiC other than the leading R&D group. The results of the report suggest that the companies that are researching and developing SiC other than the leading R&D clusters cannot expect to expand their own business earnings unless they form alliances with any of these clusters.
