Implication

Investigates inventor mobility's influence on technological knowledge coupling in biopharmaceutical firms, highlighting dynamic capabilities' moderating role.

Key Points

The research aims to explore how inventor mobility networks affect technological knowledge coupling and how dynamic capabilities influence these effects.
Analyzed panel data from 276 Chinese listed biopharmaceutical firms from 2003 to 2022.
Employed a fixed-effects regression model to examine hypotheses.
Assessed in-degree and out-degree centrality in inventor mobility networks.
In-degree centrality positively influences both complementary and substitutive technological knowledge coupling.
Out-degree centrality negatively affects both types of technological knowledge coupling.
Dynamic capabilities strengthen the positive impact of in-degree centrality while weakening the negative impact of out-degree centrality.
