“…And even conflict in groups, if adequately managed, can be beneficial for creativity as it can help to generate innovative solutions to ill-structured problems (Troyer and Youngreen, 2009). These ideas are consistent with Yang and Rui (2009) findings about how both knowledge dissemination in organizations, and knowledge innovation contribute to the enhancement of creativity continuously.…”

Purpose-The purpose of this paper is to analyze how the exchanges that employees maintain with their immediate superior and with their work group influence the creativity that they manifest. Design/methodology/approach-A study was carried out among employees of a firm from the automotive sector. On the basis of previous works, the authors first built reliable multi-item scales for each variable included in the model; then, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to ascertain the causal effect of those exchanges upon creativity. Findings-The findings reveal that high-quality exchanges between the employee and their work group and, to a lesser extent, their immediate superior, have a significant positive influence on their creative behavior. Practical implications-All this underlines the importance of the composition of work groups for achieving the team environment necessary for creative production. Originality/value-This paper provides new evidence about a still unexplored topic, trying to bridge the existing gap in the literature about the influence of leadership and group behavior on creativity.

“…However, we could not conclude how reliable/sensitive AVAS is in comparison with ACE. Yang (2009) and Yang and Rui (2009) use the AVAS algorithm to analyze supply chain alliance performance and new product creativity, respectively. Although they mention ACE in their studies, they do not compare the AVAS results with the ACE results.…”

“…Knowledge sharing is 1060 IJOPM 35,7 critical to product innovation and performance in NPD (Yang and Rui, 2009;Yang, 2001;Court, 1997) because firms must be able to efficiently transfer, integrate and further develop knowledge and products. The general perspective indicates that sharing more knowledge usually improves product and service performances (Clemons and Hitt, 2000).…”

AbstractPurpose -In today's market, firms are riding on the wave of globalisation to enhance competitiveness through corporate collaboration in new product development (NPD). In joint NPD, huge amounts of information and knowledge are interchanged among business partners. However, industrial experience and past research have indicated that knowledge sharing among firms invite opportunism, that is, knowledge being leaked or misused by others. To determine the means to rectify the problems of opportunism in joint NPD, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of commitment and knowledge sharing on opportunism. Design/methodology/approach -An online questionnaire survey was conducted to verify the research model with 312 valid responses from manufacturing firms. The survey data were analysed by structural equation modelling, and the findings were verified by follow-up interviews. Findings -Contradictory to most studies, this study finds that knowledge sharing among committed business partners suppresses, rather than invites, opportunism. Research limitations/implications -This finding is new in the literature with strong managerial implication. Firms that hesitate to share their knowledge with others because of the fear of opportunism should commit more seriously to their business partners so that they could share knowledge for better NPD. Originality/value -This study has reversed the sceptical belief of knowledge sharing leading to opportunism. This new belief will encourage corporate collaboration in joint NPD. However, for a comprehensive view on opportunism in inter-firm NPD, other governance mechanisms, that is, contract and trust, should also be studied in future research.
