Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating role of knowledge sharing on the relationship between competitive intelligence and product development. A cross-sectional design was used in this study. Using a random sample of 178 general managers from the chemical manufacturing sector in Jordan, the data were collected through an online questionnaire. A structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to test the study hypotheses. Findings reveal that competitive intelligence and knowledge sharing have a positive effect on product development; additionally, competitive intelligence has a positive effect on knowledge sharing; and finally, knowledge sharing partially mediates the relationship between competitive intelligence and product development. These results help managers determine how to enhance product development by focusing on competitive intelligence and knowledge sharing. The unique contribution of this study lies in studying knowledge sharing as a mediator variable in the relationship between competitive intelligence and product development, since the empirical analysis of such a relationship has never been undertaken.

知识共享对竞争情报与产品开发关系的中介作用:来自Jordan的证据

摘要本研究旨在探讨知识共享在竞争情报与产品开发关系中的中介作用。本研究采用横断面设计。随机抽取了约旦化学制造业178名总经理，通过在线问卷收集数据。采用结构方程模型(SEM)对研究假设进行检验。研究发现，竞争情报和知识共享对产品开发具有正向影响;此外，竞争情报对知识共享有正向影响;最后，知识共享在竞争情报与产品开发的关系中起到部分中介作用。这些结果有助于管理者决定如何通过关注竞争情报和知识共享来提高产品开发。本研究的独特贡献在于研究了知识共享作为竞争情报与产品开发之间关系的中介变量，因为这种关系的实证分析从未进行过。
