企業揭露知識可以在確保相容性與互聯互通性的基礎下讓技術系統得以順利發展。過去研究大多著重探討企業揭露知識的動機,本研究則是採用組織學習的觀點來釐清企業在揭露知識的時候應該具備怎樣的學習策略。具體而言,我們把企業在通訊產業中3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project)標準制定組織中宣告標準必要專利的情況,視作為是企業針對特定技術規格書來揭露技術知識的行為。標準必要專利的宣告帶給了企業擁有技術實施權利的機會,但是同時間該標準必要專利的知識也會被其它企業所吸收與學習,而這也讓企業陷入創造價值與獲取價值的兩難局面。本研究將企業學習外部企業使用自身揭露知識的方式稱作為外向化學習,而企業對於自身揭露出來的知識之學習則稱之為內向化學習。相較於外向化學習,企業進行內向化學習更是屬於持續深化知識體系而有助於技術的持續發展。本研究的主要理論貢獻是把組織學習理論結合到知識揭露的研究領域。並且,不同於過去研究重視屬於外向化學習,本研究試圖架構出企業在揭露知識的時候需要進行內向化學習的方式。對此,本研究分析企業透過排他性專利對標準必要專利進行自我引用的情況,藉此進一步了解企業在標準制定組織中知識揭露與內向化學習的關係。我們的分析結果發現,當企業宣告出來的標準必要專利是具有較高的技術性價值與時效性價值,企業進行自我引用來進行內向化學習的可能性越高。另外,企業的吸收能力亦可以增加內向化學習的程度。

Knowledge revealing can help firms to develop technology systems based on compatibility and interoperability. In the past, most studies discussed firms' motivation to reveal knowledge. In contrast, this study uses the organizational learning perspective to clarify what learning strategies firms should have when they reveal knowledge. Specifically, we regard the declaration of standard-essential patents (SEPs) in the 3GPP (3rd Generation Partnership Project) standard-development organizations (SDOs) in the telecommunication industry as firms' knowledge revealing toward specific technical specifications. The declaration of SEPs allows firms to possess technological implementation rights. Still, at the same time, SEPs' knowledge will be assimilated and learned by other firms, which also puts firms in a dilemma between creating and capturing value. In this study, we name that firms learn how external firms learned their revealed knowledge as the outward-looking learning, while learning the value of revealed knowledge as the inward-looking learning. Compared to outward-looking learning, inward-looking learning is to deepening the existing knowledge system and developing technology continuously. Our main theoretical contribution is to integrate organizational learning theory into the research field of knowledge revealing. Moreover, different from previous studies that focused on outward-looking learning, this research provides insightful meaning when firms attempt to reveal their knowledge. In this regard, this study analyzes how firms cited their SEPs through proprietary patents in the SDOs. Our analysis found that when the technical value and timing value of SEPs is high, firms are likely to use self-citation as inward-looking learning. Besides, firms' absorptive capacity can also increase the degree of inward-looking learning.
1.INTRODUCTION
Previous studies indicate that Knowledge is a core resource and need to be managed.
But in the open innovation ,like open source pointed out that Selective revealing can create the value of the product. The Selective revealing is means that firm conditionally disclose knowledge to external firms or organizations.
However, although companies retain ownership of knowledge while revealing, it is still difficult for companies to observe how other companies use knowledge after revealing the knowledge. Past research believes that companies need to establish effective governance mechanisms for complementors and observe how external firms use the revealed knowledge to carry out innovation activities. But the focal firm tend to think that the knowledge of the external firm is more valueable, and it is easy to overlook the value of the knowledge which revealed itself.
Because previous research only focus on firms should outward-looking learning to deal with the problem of knowledge spillover .And lack of discuss inward-looking learning.So we formulate our research question which is Discuss the firm how to learning from revealing knowledge in the process of declaration standard essential patents.And use inward-looking learning to manage knowledge
2 .LITERATURE REVIEW
In recent years, research has regarded firm patents as a representative form of knowledge revealing, and used quantitative analysis to discuss issues related to firm revealing of knowledge.But It has less discussion on how enterprises obtain value after revealing knowledge and how enterprises learn from the process of knowledge revealing.
Moreover,in the process of knowledge revealing also mean knowledge spillover, companies need to have outward-looking learning and inward-looking learning to deal with the problem.
(1) outward-looking learning :identify the innovative ways of external companies which mean learning of exploring new knowledge combinations
(2) inward-looking learning identify the value of internal knowledge, which mean learning for the continuous deepening of valuable knowledge within the enterprise
According to the research of Rysman and Simcoe (2008) and Bekkers et al. (2017a) SEPs have a higher number of citations than proprietary patents .It means that the number of knowledge spillovers (B) will have more technical value than (A) .
The other reserach also mentioned that during the declaration period of SEPs, firms have a higher number of citations for their SEPs,so knowledge spillover (B) will have more JIT value than (A). .
Base on it we propose first Hypothesis :
The higher the technical and timeliness value of the standard-essential patent declared by the focal firms,the higher degree of inward-looking learning.
Kang and Motohashi (2015) also mentioned that during the declaration period of SEPs, firms have a higher number of citations for their SEPs. Based on it, technology development requires constant search and classification of a large amount of knowledge, so it can also be regarded as a process of organizational knowledge creation in the firm's internal organization then we formulate second Hypothesis :
The higher the absorptive capacity of the focal firms that declares standard-essential patents, the higher the degree of inward-looking learning.
3. ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
We use the top 21 firms with the greatest number of declarations in the SDOs and 2 component suppliers from 1990-2016 as analysis objects. And we use SEP and proprietary patents to do our analyze
The model separate in two part respectively SEPs-Year and Firms-Year to establish the statistical model .We use logistic and probit regression in SEPs-Year model and fixed effect negative binominal regression in Firms-Year model to reduce endogenous impacts such as firm’s business models.
And next is Variables Operationalization,
In this research independent variable is inward-looking learning and it dimension is whether the citation is self-citation. And there are three variables, in hypothesis one technical value dimension is knowledge spillover of SEPs.T0 is Number of citation SEP receive by other in the same year.T1 is within one year.T2 is within two year.
And the other variable in hypothesis one is JIT value we use Elapsed time after SEPs declaration as its dimention.The operationalization is the difference from the average citation time of the year.
And Absorptive capacity has two indicators , respectively is R&D Expenses and Proprietary patent number. We use R&D expense and the number of Proprietary patent publish in one year before the citation occur to represent both of them.
4.Results
In the SEPs-Year model ,first we can see all control variables are positive significant. And the hypothesis are valid. We also recalculate the knowledge spillover of SEPs in the non-cumulative way to perform the sensitivity test of the model, and the overall model results have not changed.
In the Firms-Year model, we add the firm dummies into it to understand more about inward-looking in different firms. We can see the hypothesis are valid in Firm-Year model too. But in control variable’ become less significant or not significant. And the CNS become negative significant. We also recalculate the knowledge spillover of SEPs to perform the sensitivity test, and the overall model results have not changed.
5. DISCUSSION & CONCLUSIONS
In this thesis, we provide some Academic contribution first is propose the benefits and drawbacks of knowledge revealing, and point that knowledge revealing also means knowledge spillover.Second,we define the outward-looking learning and inward-looking learning to explain the situation of learning by revealing, and these concepts will also complement and contribute to the discussion of organizing learning and search.
In addition, we provide some Practical contribution. First we analyzes the SEPs in the SSO, and proposes the concept of inward-looking learning to supplement the insufficiency of knowledge revealing in organizational learning
And further find that focal firms should have a high degree of absorptive capacity to be able to clearly know what knowledge is revealed as having "technology value" and “JIT value", and continue to strengthen this knowledge field in existing innovation activities.
6.Future research
Due to the difficulty of obtaining data, this research only conducted research on inward-looking learning. In the future, the part of outward-looking learning should be supplemented to make the overall research more complete. In addition, the part of the inward-looking learning (B) of the firm dummies after knowledge revealing is not significant. In other words, we should be further explored and studied through qualitative research and other methods in the future. In addition, future research should supplement the data to the fifth-generation communication technology, to compare the differences in inward learning between emerging manufacturers such as China and established companies.
