In particular, based on Teece’s (1986) argument regarding the innovation, authors divide factors influence into two types: external institution related and internal capability related. Design/methodology/approach This study employs a survey methodology. Specifically, collected sample composed 150...

ABSTRACT Acts of financial misconduct in business affect firms many negative ways. Therefore, why do certain misdemeanants repeatedly commit these acts? We suggest that with different social networks will perceive the costs and benefits committing frauds differently, thereby affecting likelihood future. To be specific, we politically connected are less likely to recommit frauds, while at interlock network center more frauds. In addition, propose when their partners community punished for...

Our analysis 3281 private firms from national survey China reveals that not only promotes but...

Although research has indicated that organisational performance can be improved by investigating and learning from experiences, some studies have found organisations may generate incorrect lessons or fail to learn. This study addresses this inconsistency turning attention experience distribution over time. Drawing the experiential perspective, we argue highly concentrated failure experiences dispersed success in a time period will impose negative impacts on learning. Further, also find...

This study explores the critical links between legitimacy-seeking strategy, resource-building capability, and product innovation so as to explain how strategy affects capability moderates relationship legitimacy- seeking innovation. Our empirical results show that from market (LSM) has an inverted U-shaped with innovation, whereas government (LSG) is opposite a relationship. Further, we also find relationships LSM well LSG in two different patterns.

The importance of a service innovation as result increasing competition and customer demands in manufacturing firms has been widely recognized.

The tensions between technology search and market impede integrating them together to facilitate product innovation. Thus, how can firms synergize represents a critical research question. This study finds that although contribute innovation, their interaction has negative impact. Moreover, organizational slack formalization both play important roles in synergizing search, the firm characterized by high low is best at them. findings theoretically enrich discipline's knowledge on practically...
