“…Innovation performance is studied in many disciplines and has been defined from different perspectives (Damanpour and Wischnevsky, 2006). This has led to a somewhat confusing definition of innovation performance in the literature, which mixes elements such as capabilities and attitudes with outcome elements.…”

HIGHLIGHTSØ Incremental innovation performance is positively affected by internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability.Ø Absorptive capability affects radical innovation performance positively.Ø Size has a direct positive effect on incremental innovation performance.Ø Size has a direct positive effect on internal knowledge creation capability. 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.

“…Organisational innovation has generally been defined as "the development (generation) and/or use (adoption) of new ideas or behaviours", see also Damanpour (2006) who distinguishes between 1) generation, and 2) adoption as two dimensions of organisational innovation. Our study has a focus on the last dimension.…”

“…Additionally, the idea or behaviour may pertain to a product, service, technology, system, or practice [16] and may be new to an individual adopter, to most people in the unit of adoption, to the organisation as a whole, to most organisations in a sector (i.e. an industry), or to the entire world [15]. In our study, we see an eHealth application as an innovation if it is perceived as new by an adopting hospital organisation, discontinuous with previous practice and which is intentionally introduced and directed at improving health outcomes in terms of efficiency and effectiveness [17].…”

“…That the pressure is serious, can be illustrated with the Netherlands, where without intervention, healthcare expenditures will rise to 22-31% of the country"s GDP in 2040 compared to 15.6% in 2013. Besides, 25% of the working population will be needed to be employed in the healthcare sector in order to meet the demand of healthcare in 2040 [1], [4].…”

Terms of use: Documents in EconStor may AbstractA better understanding of factors influencing eHealth adoption is required given the strong policy attention to eHealth but a low level of actual adoption in many European countries. A model for organisational eHealth adoption is proposed in the study, derived from several adoption frameworks. The empirical part is based on a survey among hospitals in the Netherlands and includes a Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) approach. Specific attention is paid to measurement of organisational readiness and to adoption as a process including different stages. Our results suggest a sharp decrease in the adoption process after the stage of interest/commitment and significant influence of size of the hospital, organisational readiness including technical aspects, and support by top management of the hospital. The paper concludes with some organisational strategies and policies to foster eHealth adoption and suggestions for future study.

“…Innovation consists of a new idea and its implementation into a new product, process, or service, leading to the dynamic growth of the national economy and the increase of employment as well as to creation of pure profit for the innovative business enterprise, A new idea could be a new product, service or method of production (technical innovation) or a new market, organizational structure or administrative system (administrative or organizational innovation (Urabe, Child & Kagono, 1988;Damanpour & Wischnevsky, 2006). Innovation is also, creating better or more effective processes and services or generating ideas or culture that will breed this creativity (Crumpton, 2012, ) Moving away from individualized business with local and regional customers and competitors, small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are increasingly required to be innovative to confront globalization and ever-increasing competition.…”
