“…Shared logic refers to the mutual trust among symbiotic participants, ensuring the long-term healthy development of symbiotic relationships. Regarding influencing factors, the external environment in which organizations operate, including various factors such as the external market environment and technological environment, plays a crucial role in the establishment of symbiotic relationships [14,23]. As for symbiotic effects, the establishment of symbiotic relationships between organizations can increase output value by reducing internal costs or improving customer service.…”

Frugal innovation offers cost-effective, demand-driven products for consumers in emerging markets. By leveraging this approach, enterprises can capitalize on opportunities, boost profits, and nurture beneficial consumer relationships. This study uses the transaction cost theory to explore how symbiotic relationships within environmental turbulence influence frugal innovation. The goal is to unravel the interconnected factors that drive high-performance frugal innovation, providing enterprises with a roadmap for seizing opportunities, enhancing profitability, and cultivating enduring consumer relationships. Data from 218 Chinese enterprises were collected through a survey and analyzed using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) and Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA) methods. The research findings indicate that factors such as market dynamics, technological dynamics, collaboration with suppliers and customers, relationship governance, contract governance, and inter-organizational trust are not necessary prerequisites for high frugal innovation performance. Instead, the synergy among these factors is imperative for reaching elevated levels of frugal innovation performance. Furthermore, three distinct pathways to heightened frugal innovation performance were identified: a dual-drive mechanism involving membership relationships and governance mechanisms, a membership-driven approach in dynamic technological conditions, and a governance mechanism-driven approach in dynamic market conditions. This study offers valuable theoretical and practical insights for enterprises pursuing frugal innovation in turbulent environments, guiding them towards sustained growth and competitive advantages in new markets.

“…The long-term stable symbiotic relationship within the organization not only promotes the development of the symbiotic subject itself but also enhances its ability to adapt to the uncertainty and disorderly competition of the external environment. The multiple effects of mutual empowerment release more value, and play a crucial role in expanding organizational scale, and promoting organizational sustainability and highquality development [11]. At present, many scholars have applied symbiosis theory to the fields of economics [12,13] and biology [14,15], which provide a new perspective for the study of tacit knowledge transfer within OTKTN.…”

The sustainable development of organizations is inseparable from innovation, and tacit knowledge is the core resource used to achieve organizational innovation. Due to the implicitness of tacit knowledge and the complexity of members’ relationships, symbiotic relationships between members have dramatically affected the transfer effect of tacit knowledge. However, previous studies on tacit knowledge transfer only focus on the characteristics of the subject or object; fewer consider the role of symbiotic relationships between knowledge subjects. An organization’s tacit knowledge transfer network (OTKTN) is a dynamic knowledge transfer network established among multiple members. Tacit knowledge transfer and sharing among network members conform to the symbiotic feature. To examine various relationships between members, and to investigate the mechanisms that impact tacit knowledge transfer, this article aims to analyze the symbiotic relationships in OTKTN based on the symbiotic perspective. The Lotka–Volterra model was used to construct symbiotic evolution model, and symbiotic coefficients were constructed from the four levels: knowledge-based psychological personal ownership (KPPO) of the knowledge provider, media richness, trust of the knowledge receiver, and organizational rewards matching, to discuss symbiotic modes. Finally, numerical simulation software was applied to simulate the evolution of knowledge levels in members. The results show that the four kinds of symbiotic modes between members include independence, commensalism, asymmetric mutualism, and symmetric mutualism. Symmetric mutualism is the best mode. In this mode, maximum level in independence mode affects the final stable knowledge level; the initial knowledge amount and natural growth rate both affect knowledge growth rate. Media richness, receiver’s trust, and organizational rewards matching can increase members’ tacit knowledge, but the knowledge provider’s KPPO inhibits members’ tacit knowledge growth. This article provides guidance to form a healthy symbiotic relationship and help organizations increase tacit knowledge.
