“…However, only firms that combine their internal knowledge base with knowledge from external sources can obtain a positive impact on radical innovation performance. The study also confirms that large incumbents within the industry favour exploiting existing technologies through incremental innovation performance (Koberg et al, 2003).…”

“…Specifically, they confirm that although organizational size positively affects internal knowledge creation capability, size has no impact on absorptive capability. Furthermore, the results show that larger firms enjoy greater advantages for incremental innovation performance (Koberg et al, 2003) but not for radical innovation performance on which large firm size has a negative non-significant effect (Abernathy and Utterback, 1978). These results corroborate those by Ettlie et al (1984).…”

“…Authors such as Koberg et al (2003) associate product and service innovations with radical innovations, whereas they consider procedural, personnel, process and structural innovations to be incremental innovations. Conversely, Cantner et al (2011), Forsman (2011), and Tödtling et al (2009 consider innovation performance to be radical if it is a new product, service, process or method that differs dramatically from competitors in the firm's market.…”

HOW DOES ORGANIZATIONAL SIZE IMPACT ON KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION CAPABILITIES AND INCREMENTAL VERSUS RADICAL INNOVATION PERFORMANCE?ABSTRACT While prior studies recognise the importance of knowledge accumulation capabilities in innovation performance, current research has still failed to empirically identify its role with regard to different types of innovation performance. The objective of this paper is to address this knowledge gap and to explore the relationships between internal knowledge creation and absorptive capabilities, and radical and incremental innovation performance. The study also contributes to analyzing the complex effect that organizational size has in the whole innovation process, influencing its antecedents (internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability) as well as its outputs (incremental and radical innovation performance), as the literature has produced inconsistent results and the issue is subject to continuing debate. This study demonstrates that incremental innovation performance is positively affected by both knowledge accumulation capabilities and size. However, results show that only absorptive capability has a positive direct effect on radical innovation performance, whereas size has a negative non-significant effect on it. The effect of size on knowledge accumulation capabilities also turns out to be mixed. It appears to increase internal knowledge creation capability, but it does not affect the absorption of new external knowledge, and thus does not help to develop radical innovations.

“…34 Koberg et al found that environmental dynamism positively affects both incremental and radical innovations, although the effect is more positive for radical innovations. 35 In a study of the financial services sector, Jansen et al conclude that exploratory innovation is more effective in dynamic environments. 36 Andrews used both objective and subjective measures of environmental dynamism and reported that both measures were negatively related to achievements in public organizations.…”

The Determinants of Organizational Innovation: An Interpretation and Implications for Research Libraries

The research reported here is focused on a specific type of change in an organization: an innovation. In an empirical analysis of research libraries, it was found that five factors had a significant impact on the innovation performance of the library. These factors relate to the strategy, organizational structure, and leadership of the research library. The study sample consisted of 50 libraries that were members of the Association of Research Libraries. This paper will discuss the theoretical model, explain the effects of these five variables, highlight certain additional correlations that are meaningful, and discuss implications for research libraries.

“…At present, the researches of coupling degree measurement are mainly classified into the following 3 types. First, many foreign scholars' researches are mainly from these aspects, the matching of functions [3] (Ensign,2001) 、 Collaborative mechanism [4] ( Koberg,2003), and so on. These studies are mainly through qualitative methods proposed on measuring the degree of collaboration, these methods are subjective measures and they are susceptible to be influenced by measuring person's personal understanding.…”

Abstract. The focus of the patent portfolio design lies in how to use the relevant patent portfolio tool to convert knowledge of the company or the patent to the activities of commercial value. It is important particularly to realize the target company with the matching degree of patent portfolio value. The paper analyzed the characteristics of the Interduality of coupling system between the patent portfolio and the target enterprise. It established the model of coupling dynamic development between patent portfolio and target enterprise. An empirical study has been researched on Lenovo Group. It can effectively improve the performance of the whole system by the coordinated development between the Behavioral subsystem and the State subsystem. It will help to improve the performance of enterprises to balance the relationship between the construction of patent portfolio and the investment of resources.
