Innovation capability configuration and its influence on the relationship between perceived innovation requirement and organizational performance: Evidence from IT manufacturing companies

摘要

Purpose When the management of an information technology (IT) manufacturing firm perceives a need for innovation due to any threat in the external environment, it will be prompted to use organizational resources to support innovation and improve organizational performance through the implementation of the innovation. The purpose of this paper is to explore whether an IT manufacturing firm's budget slack, information quality of information system (IS), process innovation and product innovation would interact to collectively form an innovation capacity, which is termed innovation capability configuration (ICC), and whether ICC mediates the relationship between perceived innovation requirement and organizational performance.
