Abstract
Drawing upon evolutionary economics and resource-based approaches, the author utilises US patent data from 1930–1990 to examine the persistence of corporate technological competencies and their gradual erosion through diversifying incremental change. The book explores the changing nature of this diversification with respect to firm size, technological relatedness and technological complexity in 32 firms distributed across four broadly defined industrial sectors.
