Schilling (2017) – Serial breakthrough innovation: the roles of separateness,
self-efficacy, and idealism
Research purpose

Understand which individual characteristics can increase the likelihood of creating break through
innovation (and how these interact)



Method

Integrating research on entrepreneurship and psychology with the stories of breakthrough
innovators



3 characteristics are described in detail that the paper argues to increase the likelihood of creating
breakthrough innovation:

1. A sense of separateness
2. Extreme self-efficacy
3. Idealism



A sense of separateness

 Lack of direct personal relationships OR the perception to be detached from others
 Not the same as introversion – rather, a perception of oneself being different

How it helps for innovation:

 People feeling separate do not feel the need to adhere to social norms
 They are less exposed to conventional wisdom and mainstream ideas
 More prone to resisting conventional wisdom even if they are exposed to it
 Separated people learn to relish and make productive use of their time alone (although not
the whole innovation creation process can be done by one single person!)

Antecendents:

 Physical reasons like a disorder or disability
 Social reasons e.g. bullying in childhood
 Self-reinforcing effect: those who feel separate might reduce their social contacts due to fear
of rejection

Characteristics of separation

 Time spent alone (both a cause or consequence)
o helps to develop their own beliefs about how the world works
o thinking is not interrupted by others
 Non-conformity and rebelliousness
o Perception that one does not need to follow the rules and can govern others
 Interaction effect: time alone, rule challenging and heterodox thinking are all connected to
another
