Abstract

Research on bootlegging shows that individuals, as the origin of corporate entrepreneurship and innovation, often resort to undercover activities to develop and elaborate their initial ideas. Although reasons behind such behavior are well documented in the extant literature, less is known about what drives bootleggers to reveal their ideas. Drawing on field data from in-depth interviews with innovators in R&D departments in different industries of Iran, this research identified five groups of factors at the individual, managerial, firm, industrial, and idea level, which are at play in the revealing stage of bootlegging behavior.
