“…We should consider the driving role of customer requirements to ensure that incremental product innovation does not depart from customer requirements. e unique characteristic of incremental product innovation is that it improves the products through low risk and high feasibility while considering customer requirements [10,11]. In the process of achieving incremental product innovation, on the one hand, we need to identify and solve the conflicts of product technology with the existing technology from the intangible perspective.…”

To realize incremental product innovation, the key problems of existing products need to be identified and solved with feasible innovation schemes. This study examines the generation process of innovation schemes by integrating Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ). This study has the following advantages: first, this study proposes new rules for distinguishing physical conflicts with technical conflicts and the method for calculating conflict importance after building House of Quality (HoQ) in QFD. Second, an improved integrated model of QFD and TRIZ is constructed, which generates innovation schemes by solving not only the conflicts between technical characteristics but also the problems of product parts. Third, the uncertainty and subjectivity of the data provided by decision-makers in the evaluation process of innovation schemes are processed by interval grey numbers. Moreover, a cone model is built to make the evaluation results more reliable. Last, a case study of water purifiers is conducted to illustrate the validity of the generation process of incremental product innovation schemes.

“…As organizations aim at improving their capabilities to create new knowledge, collectivize it throughout the organization and incorporate it into all ongoing projects, they will need an efficient knowledge management system that enables them to be disseminated among the organization's internal network across all projects, specializations and departments (Escrig-Tena et al, 2021;Cabeza-Pullés et al, 2021;García-S anchez et al, 2019;Mardani, 2018). From the above, we propose the following hypotheses:…”

Purpose This study aims to develop a better understanding of radical innovation performance and proposes a comprehensive and theoretical model of the barriers impeding radical innovation from the perspective of researchers working in research institutions in China. Both quantitative and qualitative techniques were used to test the hypotheses regarding barriers to radical innovation and the model proposed in this research. Design/methodology/approach The data was collected through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with researchers from different research institutions across several cities in China. Next, the data was analyzed by deploying the structural equation modeling technique and calculating the statistical significance of correlations, regression and path coefficients among the latent variables. Findings The results indicated the major barriers impeding radical innovation in Chinese research institutes. Based on these findings, suggested policies, regulations and business models are put forward that can promote radical innovation in these institutes through increasing research freedom, enhancing organizational flexibility, attracting talented researchers and expanding research collaboration. Originality/value The research proposes a comprehensive and theoretical model of the barriers impeding radical innovation from the perspective of researchers working in research institutions in China.

“…Exploratory innovation can help firms define problems and actively create tacit and new knowledge to find solutions to these problems (Nonaka, 1994; Miller et al , 2006). As an important source of tacit knowledge, exploratory innovation brings much more inspirations for enterprises to assimilate and use in the NPD process (Escrig-Tena et al , 2021). Given that the main characteristics of tacit knowledge are uniqueness and inimitability (Grant, 1996b), exploratory innovation assists enterprises in building appropriability regimes as intangible assets, thereby preventing imitation (Caner and Tyler, 2015) and increasing NPD quality (Berman et al , 2002).…”

Purpose This paper aims to investigate the impact of exploratory innovation on the quality of new product development (NPD), and how do polychronicity of the top management team (TMT) and interfunctional coordination (IFC) moderate the above relationship. Design/methodology/approach The hypotheses were tested by the survey data of 210 Chinese enterprises. Hierarchical regression analyzes were used to test the hypotheses in this research. Findings The results indicate that exploratory innovation facilitates NPD quality. TMT polychronicity weakens the effect of exploratory innovation on NPD quality. IFC strengthens the effect of exploratory innovation on NPD quality. Practical implications This study provides managers with insight on the relationship between exploratory innovation and NPD quality. To improve NPD quality, managers should be paying more attention to exploratory innovation. Furthermore, this study helps managers to understand how the relationship changes with the increases of TMT polychronicity and IFC. Originality/value This study highlights the value of exploratory innovation in increasing NPD quality based on the knowledge-based view. By incorporating TMT polychronicity and IFC based on the attention-based view, it offers much richer understandings of how exploratory innovation affects NPD quality.
