Exploring open search strategies and perceived innovation performance from the perspective of inter‐organizational knowledge flows

Yun‐Hwa Chiang, Kuang‐Peng Hung · 2010 · R and D Management

Summary. The paper examines how companies access external knowledge to drive innovation. Using survey data from 184 Taiwanese electronics manufacturers, the authors find that focusing knowledge search on a few external sources strengthens incremental innovation, while searching broadly across many sources strengthens radical innovation. These findings clarify how different knowledge-gathering strategies produce different innovation outcomes.
