In this article, the authors develop and test hypotheses relating the four knowledge creation modes of socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization as performed during the con-cept and the development phases of new product development projects to new product success. Using data from 94 new product development projects, they find that socialization during the con-cept phase and combination during the development phase are positively related to new product success but that externalization during the concept phase as well as socialization and internaliza-tion during the development phase are negatively related to new product success. Implications for theory and practice are discussed.

The purpose of this paper is to study the influences of technological, organizational and environmental factors on the adoption of RFID technology for logistics service providers in China. While the growth of China’s economy hinges to a large extent on the ability of the logistics industry to operate more efficiently and effectively in the global supply chain system, China’s logistics companies should pay attention to adopt more efficient logistics technologies to provide better services for their customers. The data to study the factors affecting the adoption of RFID technology came from a questionnaire survey of logistics service providers in China, and 574 logistics companies were analyzed. According to the survey results, about fifty percents of logistics companies are interested in RFID technology, but less than ten percents have the experiences of using RFID technology. Explicitness and accumulation of technology, organizational encouragement for innovation, quality of human resources, and governmental support exhibit significant influences on the willingness to adopt RFID technology.
How firms capture value from their innovations

Over the past 25 years, the technology strategy literature has examined how four primary mechanisms—patents, secrecy, lead time, and complementary assets—influence whether and to what extent firms capture value generated by their innovations. Although this literature has had a profound impact on our understanding of how firms capture value from innovation, we have yet to develop a robust theory that allows us to unbundle the characteristics of institutions, industries, firms, and individual technologies that affect the selection of particular value cap-ture mechanisms. The purpose of this article is to provide a foundation for addressing these gaps in the literature. We identify and assess relevant scholarly work regarding value capture mechanisms published in top-tier peer-reviewed management journals between 1980 and 2011. We then review the assumptions, insights, and causal mechanisms for the antecedents and con-sequences of the value capture mechanisms highlighted in these articles. The ultimate objective is to identify research opportunities that help to better understand the conditions under which specific bundles of value capture mechanisms are most likely to help innovating firms achieve persistent superior performance.
Global Systems of Innovation: Water Supply and Sanitation in Developing Countries

Innovation is a process of problem solving. In its broadest sense, innovation means doing things in new ways. When conditions change and routines no longer work, humans experiment and learn. In a narrower sense, innovation means developing new ideas into new products or processes. Whether the process happens in the public domain or in the market, the sign of successful innovation is something new being used widely to solve a problem. Many problems that face humanity today take on global dimensions, and their solutions are likely to involve cooperation as well as competition across national boundaries. Global climate change is the clearest example: human activity has set changes into motion that affect people in various parts of the world in ways that they did not choose but have to work together to address. Disease is another example, in which growing networks of transportation are spreading pathogens faster and wider than ever. No one country can protect its health without joint information gathering and international public health efforts. To address global challenges, humanity needs to be able to solve problems at
Managing in Emergence: Capabilities for Influencing the Birth of New Business Fields

This paper deals with management challenges in emergent business networks in times of radical technological change. First, a framework describing the environment of emergent networks is proposed. Second, the processes which constitute the proposed phases of emergence are discussed. Finally, the core company-level tasks in each phase are identified and dynamic capabilities for managing these tasks are suggested.

This paper experimentally investigates the determinants of the deviation between potential and realized value creation in strategic alliances. To better understand how decision making in alliances may influence success, we use an experimental design that juxtaposes two important factors that affect alliance members ’ decisions: economic incentives and communication. The evidence derived from our experimental design sheds light on the relative impact of each, and importantly, how both factors interact to explain the probability of successful outcomes in an alliance. These empirical results are robust to the use of undergraduates, MBAs and seasoned executives who averaged over 20 years of work experience. We thank the University of Illinois at Urbana−Champaign (UIUC) Research Board for their financial support. Shravan Gaonkar provided able technical assistance for the creation of the experiment programming code. We appreciate the support provided by
The Use of Voluntary Public Disclosure and Patent Strategies to Capture Value from Product Innovation

Firms make tradeoffs in voluntarily and publicly disclosing R&D information. Disclosure can deter competition by signaling a technological advantage. However, such disclosures might signal technological opportunity and encourage competitors to develop competing innovations. This study investigates the effect of industry- and firm-specific advantages on the influence of voluntary public disclosure on competitors ’ patenting in the same technology space. Theoretical predictions are tested on a sample of 322 publicly traded firms between 1991 and 2004. The results are consistent with industry and firm-specific advantages moderating the effectiveness of disclosure along with patents as a strategy for capturing value from product innovation.
The Role of Knowledge Management and Organizational Learning in Mediating Transformational Leadership and Innovation Performance: Social Capital as the Moderator

This study examines the inf luences of transformational leadership on organizational innovation performance through the dynamic capabilities of knowledge management and organizational learning. It also investigates whether social capital moderates the effect of transformational leadership, knowledge management, and organizational learning on the dependent variables. These inf luences are tested empirically in large and medium manufacturing f irms in Thailand, based on a sample of 400 manufacturing f irms conducted through a questionnaire survey. The causal relationship model is tested through structural equation modeling (SEM). The results reveal that: 1) transformational leadership has a positive inf luence on knowledge management capability; 2) transformational leadership has a positive inf luence on organizational learning capability, both directly and indirectly through knowledge management capability; 3) knowledge management capability has an insignif icantly direct effect on innovation performance, but it has a positive inf luence on innovation performance through organizational learning capability; 4) organizational learning capability has a positive inf luence on innovation 2

In this paper, we examine the phenomenon of dyadic inter-organizational relationships and develop a conceptual model to explain the influence of complementary knowledge and relative absorptive capacity on firm performance. Using theoretical perspectives emanating from the knowledge-based view of the firm and organizational learning, we suggest that performance outcomes in inter-organizational relationships depend on both stock and flow of knowledge- related to complementary knowledge and relative absorptive capacity of the firm, respectively.
