“…Firms spent considerable times and resources on internal R&D, and this leads to the question of what is the right balance between internal and external resources of innovation” (Dahlander and Gann, 2010, p. 701). This observation is important because the internal capabilities of innovation are reinforced when supported by other agents, and this support requires a balance between internal and external capabilities (Helfat, 2006; Soriano et al , 2014).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between open innovation (OI) and radical and incremental innovation success in knowledge-based companies. The company’s human resources and organizational learning capability are considered as the fundamental nexus of this relationship. Design/methodology/approach At the conceptual level, the paper analyzes the relationships between dynamic capabilities and OI and between OI and innovation success. Fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) was used to study how innovation is implemented in 29 companies. Findings FsQCA identifies combinations of factors that facilitate incremental innovations. These combinations reveal the path to implementing company policies that enable incremental innovation and foster radical innovation. Research limitations/implications The nature of the study sample means that the findings should be generalized with precaution. The most valuable implication is the identification of combinations of factors that help companies manage innovation. Originality/value Scarce literature links organizational learning factors and OI to different types of innovation. The use of fsQCA to analyze the cases also marks a breakthrough in the innovation literature.

“…The transmission of information in an organisation is very valuable. For this, information and communication technologies facilitate this transmission of knowledge throughout the organisation (Ribeiro-Soriano et al, 2014;Gururajan and Fink, 2010). The existing literature advocates the use of mediating variables to explain the impact of knowledge transmission technologies on firm performance (Chung and Tseng, 2019;Nobari et al, 2019).…”

“…The main motivation of our paper was to identify how the digitisation of the human resources area impacts on firm performance. The literature reviewed in the theoretical framework pointed out that the transmission of information in the organisation is highly valued and in turn facilitates the transmission of knowledge (Ribeiro-Soriano et al, 2014;Chung and Tseng, 2019;Nobari et al, 2019). However, the use of technology had not been directly related to the firm's performance.…”

“…The intraorganisational transmission of information constitutes one of the most valuable entrepreneurial resources (Ribeiro-Soriano and Baier-Fuentes et al, 2019;Barnett et al, 2019;Sá and dee Pinho, 2019). Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) facilitate this transmission (Gururajan and Fink, 2010;Ribeiro-Soriano et al, 2014;Adamuthe and Thampi, 2019).…”

The application of information systems and technologies is a very important challenge for all areas of the company, causing changes in their work processes. Today, the literature has not reached a consensus on the impact that the digitisation of the human resources area has on the results of the company. Therefore, the Fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) has been used in a study with a sample of 42 technology companies from the Valencian Community to identify the conditions that affect the firm performance as an outcome. Two traditional contingent factors (company ownership and the CEO's educational background) are considered, as is the use of information systems and technology for Human Resource Management (HRM). The fsQCA reveals that investment in tools for human resource optimisation and obsolete device replacement positively affect firm performance. Absence of profit growth is linked to a lack of investment in human resource optimisation technology. The distribution of capital amongst different owners, regardless of the technology's current or former availability also hampers firm performance.

“…Commonly, this is the type of international entry most adopted by hotel chains, since it has a lower associated risk and the entrance in international markets (Alon et al, 2012) is determined by the level of market experience, versatility of resources, accumulation of knowledge and participation in networks (Knight et al, 2004). The accumulated know-how makes (Cohen et al,1990) the internationalisation process easier for firms, as they gain knowledge faster, reduce the risk of imitation and identify new business opportunities more easily (Soriano et. al, 2014;Clavel et al, 2017).…”
