The Relationship

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze to what extent spending on innovation activities and collaboration at the industry level affects the relationship between firm innovation and performance. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual model was proposed and empirically tested using multiple linear regression. The data were obtained from the Community Innovation Survey 2012, composing a sample of 890 Italian manufacturing firms. Findings The results provided full support for the positive moderating effect of intra-industry innovation spending and partial support for the positive moderating effect of intra-industry collaboration, both regarding the relationship between firm innovation spending and performance. Knowledge spillovers derived from intra-industry innovation spending and intra-industry collaboration affect firm performance. While this finding corroborates other studies that have found that the intra-industry R&D spending influences firms’ innovation and performance, it also contributes to improve the understanding about the complementarity of internal innovation activities and knowledge spillovers. Originality/value This study contributes to theory by filling a gap concerning the complementarity of internal innovation activities and the effect of knowledge spillovers to improve firm performance. Our findings suggested that intra-industry openness to collaboration and innovation spending, as proxies of knowledge spillovers, plays an important role in complementing firm level innovative efforts, even in the case of firms that spend less on innovation and have a lower degree of collaboration. This is especially relevant for small and medium enterprises, which can take advantage of access to the necessary information to overcome their internal resource constraints for R&D and innovation. The originality of these findings adds value in terms of furthering the understanding of this phenomenon.

Can government subsidies improve enterprises’ technological innovation performance? Based on the A-share high-tech listed enterprises in Shanghai and Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2015 to 2019, this paper empirically tests the micro policy effect of government subsidies on innovation performance of enterprises under the background of economic transformation, and the moderating effect of regional corruption, market competition and enterprise ownership concentration on this effect. The results show that the high quality signal transmitted by government subsidies is helpful for innovative enterprises to broaden the source of innovation resources and encourage enterprises to actively carry out innovative activities. Moderate level of regional corruption will promote the government subsidy effect, too high or too low level of corruption is not conducive to enterprise innovation; The higher the degree of market competition, the weaker the promoting effect of government subsidies on enterprise innovation; Corporate ownership concentration has a U-shaped moderating effect on government subsidies and innovation performance. Therefore, to improve the independent innovation ability of enterprises, on the one hand, we should continue to strengthen the government innovation subsidy and improve the subsidy system; on the other hand, we should strictly crackdown on corruption activities and supervise the establishment and improvement of the internal control system of enterprises, so as to give full play to the effect of government subsidies.

The Relationship

Scholars have given increased attention to seek for a solution to improve firms’ performance. The literature demonstrated that technology innovation is considered the most powerful means of firms’ performance for modern companies. Empirical findings showed, however, that the relationship between technological innovation and firms’ performance continues to be inconclusive as it has a negative, positive or no impact on firms’ performance. In order to address such gap, this paper proposes a theoretical framework to describe the moderating effect of directors’ network on technological innovation and firms’ performance. It shows that the effectiveness of business innovation can be enhanced through direct or indirect use of each network of directors. The firm still neglects the significant capacity of the board of directors' network in a firm. In short, the crucial discussion found in this paper will lead to improving the information on innovation, networking and organizational studies as well as act as a reference to study in other countries. This study is a promising field. The business will benefit from a large social network of directors. Thus, the company is proposing to fully utilize the function of directors’ network to leverage the innovation activities and firm’s performance.

The Relationship

Objective: To analyzes the moderating effect of innovation on the relationship between internationalization and financial performance. Method: The sample gathers 1,840 companies listed on Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão (B3) and NYSE Euronext  during the period of 2014-2018. Tests for difference of means were performed and linear regression models with panel data via systemic generalized moments method (GMM-Sys) were estimated. Results: Estimates indicate that the degree of internationalization alone does not assure high financial performance in Brazilian companies, while in European companies it influences return on assets (ROA) negatively. Moreover, in both contexts, the individual moderating effect of the two variables of innovation, exploration (R&D) and exploitation (Capex), could not be identified. However, a positive and significant effect of ambidextrous innovation activities in the relationship between internationalization and financial performance was verified. Evidence of the effect of internationalization on financial performance in both Brazilian and European companies is confirmed when enhanced by the simultaneous engagement of innovation activities. Contributions: This study contributes to a recent investigative line, which verifies the effect of intervening variables in the internationalization-performance relationship. It contributes to the analysis of this relationship in companies from emerging markets, a much and still needed research focus as a way of gaining a better understanding of business opportunities in adverse institutional conditions and how to seize them.

The turbulent and highly competitive business environment has exposed firms to unprecedented uncertainties brought about by market disruptions. Organizations have attempted to thwart this menace by leveraging on innovation, but innovation activities are complex and are not always viable. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine the moderating effect of Innovation Ecosystem (IE) on the relationship between Knowledge Entrepreneurship (KE) and Innovation Performance (IP) of manufacturing firms in Kenya. The study was anchored on the complexity theory. Mixed method research was applied which utilized cross-sectional design. The target population was 828 manufacturing firms. Purposive and stratified random sampling was used to determine a sample size of 115 firms. The study found that IE has a great moderating effect between KE and IP in manufacturing firms in Kenya. Collaboration and networking between industry, research organizations and universities should be strengthened to promote IP and increase the competitiveness of firms. Further studies should investigate the nature and effects of tension that emanates as a result of knowledge leakage that occurs during interactions with the various players within the IE

The Impact

Agricultural enterprises can establish and maintain good relationships with external stakeholders by fulfilling their own CSR, and obtain key external knowledge and important external resources through these relationship channels, and then realize their own technological innovation and promotion. At the same time, relevant management personnel of agricultural enterprises should pay attention to the issue of CSR input intensity in the process of fulfilling CSR, and should try to avoid getting into relationships with these stakeholders due to excessive reliance on CSR to meet the demands of relevant external stakeholders. In this way, it brings unnecessary costs to the technological innovation activities of enterprises, and ultimately leads to the reduction of innovation efficiency and performance. This article puts forward the research on the impact of agricultural corporate social responsibility on the continuous innovation of the enterprise itself. Agricultural enterprises are considering CSR as a means to promote corporate technological innovation and are investing in it. Relevant managers must first think about whether there are some inert factors in the company, including outdated organizational processes and organizational practices. Once such inert factors are discovered, in order to ensure that the company's investment in CSR can finally be effectively transformed into corporate technology Innovative performance, it is necessary for relevant managers to take some targeted actions in the specific practice process to overcome the negative effects of these inertia factors.
