Abstract: This paper examines the influence of the interaction of three sources of innovation, namely, top-down (bureaucratic structure), bottom-up (high-involvement HRM) and outside-in (outreaching network), on two stages of firm innovation, i.e. invention and commercialization. Using data from 620 large Chinese companies, we found that there was a synergy between the bureaucratic structure and a high-involvement HRM system in influencing firm innovation. Social networks were most effective in promoting firm innovation… Show more

“…Outro ponto importante que envolve a cultura das empresas é a estrutura da Governança Corporativa. Nesse aspecto, Zhou et al (2021) comenta que as empresas, para promover inovação, precisam ser estruturadas com um canal direto de comunicação, onde colaboradores possam expor opiniões e trazer novidades aos seus gestores. Colaborando com essa premissa, Lin et al (2020), comenta que a distância de alto poder acentua a diferença de status entre as pessoas e bloqueia o fluxo de informações.…”

“…In addition, the innovation culture is spread among workforces as a strategic intangible asset that moves action en route for ingenuity and shared beliefs (Li et al, 2019). Thus, the concept is a potent avenue to achieve desired results of an organization (Papa et al, 2020;Zhou et al, 2021).
