Leveraging firm innovation performance through alliance portfolios in emerging economies: the role of absorptive capacity

Abstract: Firms are increasingly engaging in alliance portfolios/networks -AP/Nets -to leverage their innovation performance -IP -and thus boost their competitiveness. Most studies, with a few exceptions especially from emerging countries, found a positive relationship between AP/Net and IP, depending on portfolio characteristics and firm absorptive capacity -AC. This article undertakes an empirical investigation of the AP/Net -IP relationship and AC´s potentially moderating role in this relationship in an emerging coun… Show more

“…Our results also revealed a direct relationship between intra-industry collaboration (CollabInd) and firm performance (Rgturn12), with a coefficient of +0.101, indicating that the level of openness to collaboration and network alliances within an industry has a positive impact on firm performance. This finding is aligned with the proposed benefits of network theory (Ahuja, 2000), that the diversity and number of partners in a collaboration network influence the participants’ performance (Macedo-Soares et al , 2017; Nieto and Santamaria, 2007; Faems et al , 2010). In contrast, this relationship explained a smaller portion of the total variance of the firm’s performance, demonstrating that the moderated relations of intra-industry collaboration (CollabInd × Rrdinx and CollabInd × Rmacx) are more relevant.…”

“…The interaction among actors in the network, sharing knowledge and technologies, results in a process of learning and knowledge application that generates innovations (Todtling et al , 2009). The diversity and number of partners in a collaboration network influence the participants’ performance (Macedo-Soares et al , 2017; Nieto and Santamaria, 2007; Faems et al , 2010).…”

“…Sobre os benefícios de inovação aberta, cerca de 50% dos artigos (oito dentre os quinze) tratou explicitamente dos benefícios que a implementação do conceito de inovação abertaé capaz de trazer para as organizações. O benefício mais citado com a implementação dessa prática (quatro dos oito artigos) é a redução de custos no desenvolvimento de novos produtos (Candido e do Macedo-Soares et al, 2017;Leme et al, 2015;Erlaine et al, 2017), que pode ser vista também como uma espécie de compartilhamento dos riscos de pesquisa e desenvolvimento (Leme et al, 2015).Além desse ponto relativo à redução de custos, alguns autores abordam especificamente as possibilidades e as oportunidades vinculadas a novos fluxos de conhecimento para a área de pesquisa e desenvolvimento, numa visão de processo outside-in da inovação aberta. Leme et al-(2015) destacam que, no contexto de um instituto público de pesquisa, a prática acelera o aprendizado e possibilita a transferência externa de conhecimento.…”

“…Isso acontece porque alguns processos internos à organização ou vinculados à sua relação com os parceiros precisam estar adequadamente preparados ou desenvolvidos para que os fluxos de conhecimentos viabilizados pela inovação aberta possam proporcionar os benefícios esperados. Macedo-Soares et al-(2017) tratam dessa questão a partir de um paradigma de análise de redes. Segundo eles, do ponto de vista das relações de parceria, a posição relativa da organização na rede é uma importante variável na análise dos benefícios proporcionados pela inovação aberta.…”

“…Esse processo é definido como outside-in, no qual os conhecimentos externos são internalizados e incorporados aos recursos internos da empresa (Natalicchio et al, 2017), funcionando como catalisadores do processo de inovação (Macedo-Soares et al, 2017).…”
