The recognition celebrates the most impactful doctoral research in the field of business and innovation.
Yue’s dissertation, developed during his Ph.D. at Harvard Business School, explores a paradox at the heart of the AI industry: why do firms openly share their innovations, like scientific knowledge, software, and models, despite the apparent lack of direct financial return? His work sheds light on the strategic and economic mechanisms that drive this openness, offering new frameworks for understanding how firms contribute to and benefit from shared technological progress.
“We typically think of firms as trying to capture value from their innovations,” Yue explained. “But in AI, we see companies freely publishing research and releasing open-source software. My dissertation investigates why this happens and what firms gain from it.”
