Abstract
This study investigates the role of openness to innovation knowledge sources in driving firms’ radical innovation. First, we develop a theoretical model that predicts how political ties and business ties can be used by firms as a complementary mechanism to capitalize on their preferential resources. This complementary mechanism is more effective than relying on a single kind of tie. Moreover, using Chinese firm-level data, we find that openness has a curvilinear relationship with firms’ radical innovation performance. Second, we show that the joint interaction effects of political ties and business ties significantly influence firms’ openness to engaging in radical innovation.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
