"Innovation is a trial and error process in which both successes and failures contribute to knowledge creation and\r\ndestruction. In this paper we test theoretical predictions about the role of failures in new product development on\r\nprivate and public knowledge and interfirm knowledge transfer. We analyse the outcomes of world-wide R&D\r\nprojects in the pharmaceutical industry, and proxy knowledge flows with forward citations received by patents\r\nassociated with each project. We find that patents covering successfully completed projects (i.e., leading to drug\r\nlaunch on the market) receive more citations than those associated to failed (terminated) projects, which in turn\r\nare cited more often than patents lacking clinical or preclinical information. Failures by specialized firms are cited more frequently than the ones of generalist companies. We therefore offer evidence of the value of failures as research inputs in (pharmaceutical) innovation."^^ . "2012-03" . "9" . "1" . . "Wiley-Blackwell"^^ . . . "European Management Review"^^ . . .
