The life cycle concept refers to the extent of development of the underlying scientific knowledge base. The knowledge in developed science fields (e.g. chemicals) is well codified, whereas in developing fields (e.g. biotechnology), it is less so. This variance creates interesting implications for innovation \u2013 product development routines will differ across developed and developing sciences. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast the knowledge\u2010 and resource\u2010based requirements of developed and developing science industries and the link to competitive advantage.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1108\/13673270110393266","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,13]],"date-time":"2007-04-13T10:05:57Z","timestamp":1176458757000},"page":"195-204","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":92,"title":["Knowledge codifiability, resources, and science\u2010based innovation"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"5","author":[{"given":"Laura B.","family":"Cardinal","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Todd M.","family":"Alessandri","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Scott F.","family":"Turner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"140","reference":[{"key":"key2022013020383784600_B1","unstructured":"Badaracco, J.
