Abstract
ABSTRACTThis study establishes the link between multi-dimensional interaction of knowledge transfer paths and digital innovation capability from both macro−global (native, cross−border) and micro−knowledge type (auxiliary and complementary) perspectives. Using the data of Chinese firms, we find that the matching of the “supply” of native knowledge network and auxiliary knowledge “demand” is more conducive to the improvement of digital innovation capability than matching of the “demand” of complementary knowledge. The matching of the “supply” of cross−border knowledge network and the “demand” of complementary knowledge are more conducive to the improvement of digital innovation capability than matching with the “demand” of auxiliary knowledge. Digital environment scanning capability and knowledge flow coupling moderates the relationship between complementary and auxiliary knowledge transfer and digital innovation capability. Our findings have important implications for the construction of digital innovation network systems.KEYWORDS: Knowledge transferdigital innovation capabilitydigital environment scanning abilitydegree of knowledge flow coupling Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Notes1.

期刊介绍:
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
