Working
papers are dynamic "living"
documents that report research in
progress. These papers represent
research-in-progress by faculty and
colleagues sponsored by the Mack
Center at the Wharton School, on a
variety of topics relating to the
fundamentals of innovation,
patterns of
success and failure, winning and
losing strategies, the evolution
of industries, case studies and
other areas of value to our industry
and academic partners. These
documents are subject to change as
colleagues and editors provide
comments, and research data is
compiled, expanded and analyzed.
Many working papers are
downloadable; although some are not.
Note: We are in the process of updating these files so all papers may not yet be included.
