Exploratory and exploitative innovation: the moderating role of partner geographic diversity

Journal Title: Economic Research-Ekonomska Istraživanja - Year 2016, Vol 29, Issue 1

Abstract

The aim of this study is to explore the effect of exploratory and exploitative innovation separately and ambidexterity premise simultaneously relating to firms’ innovation performance. To test these relationships, we applied a hierarchical linear regression analysis to a large sample of international organisations (by using the Community Innovation Survey [CIS] 2006 micro data). We show that the relationship between exploratory innovation and a firm’s innovation performance is moderated by geographically different partners. We found that ambidexterity premise in innovation context undermines innovation performance.
