Information communication, organizational capability and new product development: an empirical study of Chinese firms

This study focuses on how information acquisition and communication influence new product development through organizational capability. Our empirical results, based on sample data from 607 Chinese firms, show that external information acquisition has a positive effect on proactiveness capability and a negative effect on operation capability. In contrast, however, we find that internal information communication has a negative effect on proactiveness capability and a positive effect on operation capability. Finally, we find that proactiveness capability has a significant positive impact on operational capability and NPD. This research extends the literature on information communication, organizational capability, and NPD in general.     

Double-edged sword effect of independent innovations and foreign cooperation: evidence from China

How do independent innovations impact firm performance? Based upon exploratory learning perspective, we argue that independent innovations will exhibit a double-edged sword effect on firm performance over time. Further, we view cooperation with foreign partners as complementary assets, and examine the dynamical moderating effect of such complementary assets on the relationship between independent innovations and firm performance. By analyzing a sample of Chinese firms, we find that independent innovations can enhance long term firm performance, but dampen short term firm performance. Further, our results show that cooperating with foreign partners as complementary assets will improve the relationship between independent innovations and firm short term performance.
