Abstract
This article examines technology exchange mechanisms in technological platform
partnerships between software and hardware firms. Such firms form complementary
partnerships to develop innovative technological products in the mobile telephony sector.
Data were collected from 110 high-tech firms which have formed technological platform
partnerships, and analysed data, by using partial least squares structural equation modelling.
The results show that a focal firm’s technological complexity and technological adaptation to
its partner’s platform increase its dependence on a partner, which in turn positively affects
value co-creation in such partnerships. Complementary technological collaboration through
adaptation-dependence between technological partners helps resolve knowledge accessibility
and technological integration for value co-creation and innovation between heterogeneous
partners from different high-tech industries. This study provides a clue as to how
technological partners co-create value in the high-tech industry.
