“…By activating IT integration with a small number of external knowledge providers repeatedly, firms closely interact with their partners. This may increase inter-organizational cohesion and mutual support, and cultivate a benign environment for radical innovations (Huang and Li 2009;López-Cabrales et al 2008). M a n u s c r i p t…”

Advances in information technology (IT) have enabled firms to increasingly rely on open innovation. Although researchers and practitioners are interested in this phenomenon, there is a lack of theoretically driven research on how IT impacts organizational open innovation performance. Drawing on the strategic IT alignment perspective and related literature, we proposed a model to explain the performance of organizational open innovation; i.e., the alignment between IT strategies and the openness of open innovation strategies results in different outcomes for open innovation. Through the analysis of data from 225 firms in China, we found that the alignment between IT flexibility and breadth enhances innovation radicalness and innovation volume, whereas the alignment between IT integration and depth positively affects innovation volume only. Innovation volume and radicalness were found to enhance organizational performance in terms of sales growth. This is a PDF file of an unedited manuscript that has been accepted for publication.

“…Accordingly, IOT can influence innovative activity through many mechanisms, such as the reduction of the need for formal monitoring and bargaining over agreement (Tamaschke, 2003), valuable knowledge sharing (Inkpen & Tsang, 2005), and less risk averse encouraging investors to invest more in R&D projects (Akçomak & ter Weel, 2006). Different studies have suggested that the closeness or connectivity of social relationship between two parties allows firms to benefit from knowledge distributed and accumulated by close contacts and interactions, thereby, to further achieve favorable innovation (Huang et al, 2009). For instance, Dyer and Nobeoka (2000) demonstrated Toyota and its suppliers' highly interconnected networks which create a strong coordinating rules motivate members to openly share valuable knowledge and engage in multidirectional knowledge flows and innovation.…”

The effects of organizational social capital on organizational innovation have attracted the bulk of attention in recent innovation literature. However, few studies have investigated the effects of organizational social capital on innovation performance from the complex adaptive system (CAS) perspective. Based on the CAS perspective, this paper simulates how organizations in manufacturing and service industries seek higher innovation performance on the rugged fitness landscape, which is determined by the complexity of the six components of organizational social capital. Data are collected from 271 firms including 129 manufacturing and 142 service firms. Empirical results indicate that except for inter-organizational coordination, the other five components of organizational social capital significantly affect innovation performance; and their effects vary between manufacturing and service organizations. Further, simulation results demonstrate that after adaptive evolution, the average innovation performance in manufacturing organizations is higher than that in service organizations.

“…For example, a plethora of studies have revealed the significant influence of trust towards knowledge sharing [20]. Cook and Wall (1980, p. 39) defined trust as "the extent to which one is willing to ascribe good intentions to and have confidence in the words and actions of other people" [21].…”

Abstract-The paper aims to examine the influence of care culture (collaboration, trust, and learning) towards knowledge sharing behavior. A purposive sampling and a structured questionnaire survey were employed in approaching 200 social workers from membership-oriented NGOs (n=100) and service-oriented NGOs (n=100) located in Klang Valley area, Malaysia. A multiple regression and an independent sample t-test were used to test the hypotheses. Findings revealed trust (52.1%) and collaboration (28.5%) significantly predict knowledge sharing. Despite the fact, learning culture does not appear as a predictor variable, this study also discovered service-oriented NGOs have a high level of trust, collaboration, learning, and knowledge sharing as compared to membership-oriented NGOs. The present study contributes to previous literature by providing comparison data of different categories of NGOs.
