“…Further, we found that the greater the breadth of innovation objectives, the greater the firm's innovation performance; this relationship is also positive. These findings are consistent with those of del-Corte-Lora et al (2016), who studied Spanish companies, and of Aloini et al (2017), who analysed Korean companies.…”

PurposeEmbracing a large set of innovation objectives and collaborating with diverse partners have been promoted as a means to improve innovation performance. However, empirical evidence on the relationships between breadth of objectives, breadth of cooperation and innovation performance is limited, particularly in the context of emerging economies. A larger number of objectives and cooperation partners inevitably increases the complexity in organizational alignment, and cooperation eventually leads to diminishing returns. This study adds to the debate on the costs and benefits of cooperation for innovation. Understanding the optimal levels of the breadth of objectives and cooperation supports managerial decision-making and productivity in the practice of cooperation for innovation.Design/methodology/approachOperationalizing breadth of innovation objectives and cooperation via the Turkish Community Innovation Survey data, self-reports reflecting 5,863 firm-level responses between 2006 and 2008 are analysed using tobit and probit models. The maximum likelihood estimator is used to find the optimal levels for breadth of objectives and cooperation.FindingsFirms with greater breadth of innovation objectives experience higher innovation performance; those with greater breadth of cooperation also experience higher innovation performance, but our results indicate the existence of optimal levels of breadth for both innovation objectives and cooperation.Research limitations/implicationsThe authors extend the logic that there is no safety in numbers in cooperation for innovation. If the aim is to enhance innovation performance, managers and policymakers need to pay attention to the number of innovation objectives and the amount of cooperation pursued by firms. However, innovation success may be closely associated with a firm's dynamic capabilities and ability to mobilize its resources. Drawing on organizational learning theories, future research could explore why a lower than maximum level of cooperation may be more conducive to reaching levels of enhanced innovation performance and whether this level is influenced by cognitive processes.Originality/valueThe authors draw attention to the ideal number of innovation objectives and number of cooperating partners required to enhance innovation performance, thus contributing to the debate on the complex relationships between innovation, performance and cooperation in the unique setting of a large developing economy.

“…Li and Wu (2010) estimate the effect of in-house R&D, domestic technology purchase, and foreign technology importing on the innovation output [7]. While the importance of engaging with a variety of knowledge actors, such as competitors, suppliers, clients, and universities, is recognized in the research [27,[64][65][66], it is only recently that scholars have begun to examine the composition of technology sourcing channels at the industry level [17]. Therefore, our study underscores the significance of this new line of inquiry and contributes to the understanding of how the diversity of technology sourcing channels impacts the innovation performance at the industry level.…”

Many domestic enterprises in emerging economies are concerned with the question of how to better utilize the portfolio of technology sourcing channels to achieve rapid economic growth by technological innovation. This paper looks at this issue by exploring the impacts of knowledge acquisition diversity (KAD) on innovation performance of domestic enterprises in China and the technological contexts (in terms of technology gap and technology development speed) under which KAD is most likely to contribute. Using panel data of the manufacturing industry in China over the 2001–2009 period, the results show that KAD has an inverse U-shaped relationship with innovation performance in terms of both product-related innovation performance (NPS) and knowledge-related innovation performance (PAT). Specifically, it reveals that the capability to generate technological innovation over time is dependent on how domestic enterprises manage their portfolio of knowledge sourcing channels to learn from foreign enterprises. Moreover, it is shown that the technology gap significantly moderates the inverted U-shaped relationship between KAD and both NPS and PAT. Technology development speed has a moderating effect on the inverted U-shaped relationship between KAD and innovation only in terms of NPS. The results of this study can help us to understand the relationships among technological contexts, KAD and innovation performance of domestic enterprises in emerging countries.

“…A criatividade e a inovação foram associadas em pesquisas anteriores, onde se apresentou uma relação direta e positiva com a inovação incremental e radical (Hong, Hou, Zhu & Marinova, 2018), com o desempenho inovativo das organizações (Stojcic, Hashi & Orlic, 2018) e com as ações de exploration (pesquisa, experimentação, criação e inovação) e exploitation (refinamento e adaptação) (Ferreira, Coelho & Moutinho, 2020), bem como o papel mediador da criatividade entre conhecimento e inovação (Del-Corte-Lora, Molina-Morales & Vallet-Bellmunt, 2016). Apesar dessa evidente associação entre a criatividade e a inovação (Davila, Foster & Oyon, 2009), é preciso considerar que, para que a inovação ocorra, deve existir uma combinação entre a criação e a produtividade, bem como uma série de outros fatores que influenciam ambos os elementos na dinâmica do ambiente organizacional (Dodge, Dwyer, Witzeman, Neylon & Taylor, 2017).…”

Objetivo: verificar o efeito moderador das alavancas de controle na criatividade e na inovação em startups. Método: a pesquisa teve como estratégia o levantamento (survey), com coleta de dados por meio da aplicação de questionário e tratamento com o uso de técnicas de estatística descritiva, modelagem de equações estruturais e regressões lineares. A amostra foi composta por empresas cadastradas na base da Associação Brasileira de Startups (ABStartups), nos estágios de ciclo de vida tração, operação e scaleup, e obteve 153 respostas. Resultados: os achados das relações diretas confirmam os resultados de estudos anteriores, enquanto os testes de moderação evidenciam outras formas de interação entre os diferentes tipos de controle gerencial (positivos e negativos), a criatividade e a inovação, o que representa um avanço em relação aos estudos anteriores. Os resultados apontaram que controles de crenças e diagnóstico, apesar de atuarem como forças opostas, na dualidade entre os controles positivos e negativos, apresentaram efeitos moderadores semelhantes (negativos). Os resultados dos testes de hipóteses que foram contrários ao esperado levantam insights sobre diferentes formas de interação entre as alavancas quando se considera não apenas sua existência e seu uso, mas que a intensidade (alta/baixa) do uso pode afetar essas relações. Contribuições: os resultados contribuem para gestores das startups na compreensão de que os controles, quando aplicados de forma conjunta e equilibrada, não inibem a criatividade e a inovação, mas podem ser usados como um meio para potencializá-las, diferindo do que foi apresentado em estudos anteriores.
