Abstract

We explore the open innovation research model in order to remove barriers in service organizations, where lack of knowledge is the main barrier to innovation. The purpose of this paper is to propose a research model exploring the relationship between open innovation, organizational learning ability, absorptive capacity, and strategic innovation. In this study, we collected data from 330 pharmaceutical companies in Lahore and Karachi (Pakistan). The Structural equation model analysis was used through analysis of moment structures and statistical package for the social sciences to check the relationship between the variables. The results reveal that hypotheses related to innovation have been accepted. The findings of this study are evidence that various types of open innovation have different effects on strategic innovation. The inbound and outbound open innovation directly affects strategic innovation; the mutual effect of exploitative learning ability and explorative learning ability between open innovation and strategic innovation have indirect effects. Similarly, the empirical findings of absorptive capacity also significantly impact open innovation and organizational learning ability. This study contributes to the theory by introducing exploitative and explorative learning abilities as mediators between open innovation and strategic innovation. Moreover, it analyzes how absorptive capacity may enhance learning abilities through the open innovation phenomenon. Practically, this study would help the managers understand and improve organizational productivity and gain competitive advantage by creating, sharing, and utilizing knowledge through internal and external avenues.

开放式创新与战略创新的互动:组织学习能力和吸收能力的作用解析
我们探索开放式创新研究模式是为了消除服务组织中知识缺乏是创新的主要障碍。本文的目的是提出一个探索开放式创新、组织学习能力、吸收能力和战略创新之间关系的研究模型。在这项研究中,我们收集了来自拉合尔和卡拉奇(巴基斯坦)330家制药公司的数据。采用结构方程模型分析,通过对弯矩结构的分析和对社会科学的统计包来检验变量之间的关系。结果表明,与创新相关的假设已被接受。研究结果表明,不同类型的开放式创新对战略创新有不同的影响。对内开放型创新和对外开放型创新直接影响战略创新;开放性创新和战略性创新之间的利用性学习能力和探索性学习能力的相互作用具有间接效应。同样,吸收能力对开放式创新和组织学习能力也有显著影响。本研究通过引入利用性和探索性学习能力作为开放式创新和战略创新之间的中介,为理论提供了贡献。此外,本文还分析了吸收能力如何通过开放式创新现象增强学习能力。在实践中,本研究将帮助管理者通过内部和外部的途径创造、分享和利用知识,从而了解和提高组织的生产力,从而获得竞争优势。
