An Empirical Perspective:Using Patent Citation for Competitor Identification

摘要：

Competitors Identification has long been considered as a useful vehicle for R&D management and strategy of companies.Since the 1980s, some scholars committed to research the problem of identification of competitors and propose some methods.But in modern competitive environment, they dont achieve desired effects with these methods.This paper analyzes the limitations of these methods and proposes a new method called Competitors Correlation Map by patent citation.At last, the paper takes an empirical study on CNT-FED techniques, which to prove a new Competitors Correlation Map analysis can find key competitors and potential competitors.
