“…All of these measures were drawn from the existing literature, after which they were translated and adapted for the context of the present study. This study focused on six primary constructs: the depth and breadth types of market knowledge (Zhou and Li, 2012), exploitative and explorative learnings (Jansen et al, 2005;Tzokas et al, 2015), and process and product innovations (Chang et al, 2015;Paladino, 2008;Wang and Ahmed, 2004). each of the constructs included three items that were measured on a 7point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree).…”

“…Due to radical market changes, firms need continuously updated market information so they can innovate and create sustainable competitive advantages (Chang, Bai, and Li, 2015). Research has found that it is not market orientation but rather unique market knowledge and the capability to operationalize such knowledge to innovate that enables firms to maintain their long-term competitive advantages (Kumar, Jones, Venkatesan, and Leone, 2011).…”

In the knowledge economy era, both academia and industry alike have been focused on the impact of market knowledge on innovation performance. However, research addressing the inconsistencies in empirical findings about its impact (such as a negative or insignificant affect) is scarce. Moreover, ambidexterity (exploratory learning/exploitative learning) is one of the central topics in knowledge management. This article marks the first endeavor to adopt the knowledge-based theory and the ambidextrous learning perspective, attempt to create a theoretical framework of knowledge-learning-innovation, and thoroughly examine related causal relationships between different dimensions of the constructs. The empirical results demonstrated the following: market knowledge depth directly and positively impacts process innovation and product innovation; market knowledge breadth indirectly and positively impacts process innovation and product innovation; and there is no significant difference in the effects of the two types of knowledge on the two types of innovation performance. Ambidextrous learning directly and positively affects process innovation and product innovation; ambidextrous organizational learning mediates the effect of market knowledge breadth on process innovation and product innovation, and this mediating effect is more pronounced with exploitative learning; ambidextrous organizational learning does not mediate the effect of market knowledge depth on both types of innovation performance.

“…Product innovation can be defined as developing the new products and services to meet customers" needs, while process innovation as introducing new business management approaches, new production methods and technologies into companies" production and service processes (Chang et al 2015) [2] While product innovation is oriented to customers, the goal of process innovation is to improve tools, devices, or knowledge that transforms input into products or services, which means the latter pursues efficiency generally (Utterback and Abernathy, 1975) [1].…”

“…Product innovations are new products, including new services, introduced by companies to the market in order to satisfy their customers' needs in a more effective way (Chang, Bai, & Li, 2015;Geldes et al, 2017). These innovations can be either technology or market driven.…”

“…customers. Product innovations are important for companies because they can be seen as the critical outcomes of an organization that are observable externally (Chang et al, 2015). They are associated with the differentiation strategy employed by a company to achieve a competitive advantage that is eventually reflected in additional sales and growth.…”

: The purpose of this study is to identify whether the gathering of market information from different sources -i.e. from customers, competitors and other entities -is related to product innovativeness. The relationships proposed so far have not been empirically investigated but they can have important theoretical and practical implications for product innovation. To achieve the purpose of the paper data concerning 287 new products were used by applying confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modelling. The findings indicate that the obtaining of market information from customers and market entities, other than customers and competitors, has a positive impact on product innovativeness, but there was no such relationship in the case of gathering information from competitors.
