Abstract
Technological innovation is not only path dependence but also path creation. This paper analyzes the characteristic of innovation traps of technological path dependence and path creation of interfirm innovation networks. With the interactive learning, the new members, and the change of technological innovation pattern in interfirm innovation networks, the author argues that it is possible for networks members to go path creation. Interfirm innovation networks can shape technological path creation.
