Comparing the knowledge bases of wind turbine firms in Asia and Europe: Patent trajectories, networks, and globalisation (original) (raw)

This research analyzes the knowledge bases of wind turbine firms in Asia and Europe, focusing on patent trajectories, networks, and globalization. The study highlights the evolution in the competitive landscape as emerging economies in Asia challenge traditional European leaders in the wind power sector. By employing patent-based methodologies, including patent profiles and citation analysis, the paper identifies distinct knowledge trajectories and the implications for competitiveness. The findings contribute to understanding how different firms navigate technological paths and the potential for leapfrogging in the renewable energy market.
