David J. Teece is a researcher, consultant, and professor in the fields of corporate strategy and innovation. He is an authority on matters of industrial organization, technological change and innovation (particularly as it relates to antitrust and competition policy), and intellectual property.
Teece is the chairman and co-founder of Berkeley Research Group, LLC, an expert services and consulting firm based in Emeryville, California.[1] He is also the Thomas W. Tusher Chair in Global Business and the director of the Institute for Innovation at the Walter A. Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. He also acts as an economic advisor to companies and governments.
Teece is a pioneer of the dynamic capabilities perspective, defined as “the ability to integrate, build, and reconfigure internal and external competencies to address rapidly changing environments".[2] According to ScienceWatch, his paper (with Gary Pisano and Amy Shuen), titled "Dynamic Capabilities and Strategic Management" was the most cited paper in economics and business for the period from 1995 to 2005.[3] He also was one of the top-10 most-cited scholars in economics and business from 1997 to 2007.[4]
Teece was also the founder and former vice-chairman of the Law and Economics Consulting Group (later known as LECG Corporation), a now-dissolved business that provided expert advice and testimony to companies and countries in need of independent economic analysis and review.[5]
Early life and education
Teece grew up with two older brothers in Blenheim and Nelson, New Zealand. His father was a prominent businessman who started the first daily freight service between the west coast of New Zealand and Nelson in the years leading up to World War II. Just before the war, Teece Transport merged with other local freight companies to found Transport Nelson Ltd.[6]
Teece attended Waimea College before enrolling in 1967 at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, where he earned bachelor's and master's degrees in communication.[7] He came to the United States to attend the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, from which he received a Ph.D. in economics, specializing in industrial economics, international trade, and technological innovation.[6][7][8]
At Wharton, Teece studied under Edwin Mansfield, a pioneer in the study of industrial research and the economics of technological change. After reading a paper Teece had written on foreign direct investments, Mansfield became Teece's adviser. Teece later wrote an article in the Journal of Technological Transfer honoring Mansfield and his contributions.[9] "Mansfield ignited an interest in me in technology and technology transfer," said Teece. "He gave me the courage to believe that there was a methodological approach there, based on understanding things at the enterprise level, which was accepted in the academic world."[8]
Career
Teece taught at Stanford University from 1975 until 1982, when he was hired by the University of California Berkeley as a full professor with tenure at age 33.[1][7] In 1988, he founded the Law and Economics Consulting Group with other professors from UC Berkeley, providing expert witness testimony in cases including Oracle’s PeopleSoft merger battle.[5] In February 2010, Teece founded Berkeley Research Group, which has 19 offices in the United States and London, England.[1] Teece has published more than 200 papers and more than a dozen books and continues to teach part time at UC Berkeley.[1][5]
