This introduction describes how the book examines the relationships between IP rights, organizational form, and market structure, using a combination of theoretical analysis and empirical evidence drawn from almost 120 years of U.S. patent policy and associated technology markets. This analysis deploys a “dynamic” approach to IP analysis, which anticipates that the effects of changes in IP protections differ depending on firms’ ability to adopt non-IP alternative mechanisms for capturing returns on innovation. In general, larger and more integrated firms will be able to do so at a significantly lower cost than smaller and less integrated firms. The entity-specific effects of IP rights imply that stronger and weaker IP regimes will impact the range of viable organizational forms for structuring the innovation and commercialization process, which in turn impacts the structure of innovation markets and the allocation of resources across different types of innovation projects.

Degree Adverbs

Abstract In this paper, we provide an empirical description and a theoretical analysis of the adverbial use of hǎo ‘(lit.) good’, lǎo ‘(lit.) old’, and guài ‘(lit.) strange’ in Mandarin Chinese. The three adverbs represent a small yet theoretically interesting class of lexical items. Because they manifest certain similarities to canonical degree adverbs such as hěn ‘very’ and fēicháng ‘extremely’, they have been usually treated as pure degree adverbs in the descriptive linguistics literature. Empirical evidence, however, shows that these adverbs actually fuse together both degree intensification and expressive meanings. For instance, they convey strong emotion on the part of the speaker and cannot appear in non-veridical contexts such as negation, modals, information-seeking questions, and antecedents of conditionals. We argue that hǎo, lǎo, and guài are mixed-content lexical items. Based on their empirical behaviors, we follow recent advances in multidimensional semantics to propose a hybrid formal analysis of hǎo, lǎo, and guài by incorporating degree semantics into a multidimensional logic for conventional implicature.

Practical Implications

This article reviews and integrates the findings of academic leadership studies to guide leaders as they deal with practical implications of “purpose” in leadership at the workplace. This paper offers a theoretical analysis of trait, situational, and value-based leadership theory and presents a philosophically informed theoretical examination of purpose in leadership. Although there is great enthusiasm around the topic of purposeful leadership, much of the knowledge is based on qualitative studies rather than empirical evidence. We hope this article could usefully inform leadership by bringing academic knowledge to the fore to support the enterprise leadership environment. To date, limited empirical research on the role and importance of “purpose” in leadership is available. Our study fills this gap and is unique in that it analyses existing literature and proffers guidance irrespective of the leadership style of those towards whom it is directed. Keywords: Leadership, individual, mission, organisation, purpose, values, vision.
