Collaborative problemistic search capability and digital innovation: The moderating effects of IT capability and legal development
Representing a new mode of collaboration in the digital economy, collaborative problemistic search capability (CPS) refers to a firm's digital collaboration with its customers or suppliers to filter and interpret market-facing information in its search for new products or services (Karhade & Dong, 2021). Drawing on the organizational search theory, this study unpacks CPS into CPS with customers (CPS-C) and CPS with suppliers (CPS-S) and examines the effects of CPS-C and CPS-S on digital innovation and their interactions with IT capability and legal development in the context of China. Specifically, we argue that both CPS-C and CPS-S exert a positive effect on digital innovation, and IT capability demonstrates a complementary effect by enhancing the effect of CPS-C and a substitutive effect by reducing the effect of CPS-S, whereas legal development magnifies both the complementary effect and the substitutive effect of IT capability. A survey among multiple managers of a sample of firms in China supports the hypotheses. The research results make important contributions that advance existing research streams on collaboration with customers and suppliers towards innovation.
