Abstract

Most authors agree that alliance portfolio diversity (APD) has an inverted U-shaped influence on innovation performance and is particularly important for firms with a high absorptive capacity (AC), which moderates this relationship positively. However, the reality of developing countries with weaker national innovation systems (NIS) and firms with lower AC may influence these relationships. To test these hypotheses in such a context, we tested a longitudinal structural model in a sample of 1,237 Colombian manufacturing firms. The results indicated that, in a developing country context, APD at the appropriate level is especially relevant for firms with low AC, even the letter maintaining the positive moderation effect on the inverted U-shaped relationship of the former with innovation. Besides, the longitudinal structural equation modelling (SEM) chosen to conduct the analysis mitigates endogeneity issues presented in more commonly used cross-section analyses.

作为发展中国家产品创新杠杆的联盟组合多样性

大多数学者都认为，联盟组合多样性（APD）对创新绩效具有倒 U 型的影响，对吸收能力（AC）较高的企业尤为重要，而吸收能力（AC）会对这种关系起到积极的调节作用。然而，国家创新体系（NIS）较弱的发展中国家和吸收能力较低的企业可能会影响这些关系。为了在这样的背景下检验这些假设，我们以 1237 家哥伦比亚制造企业为样本，对纵向结构模型进行了检验。结果表明，在发展中国家，适当水平的APD对AC较低的企业尤为重要，甚至信对前者与创新的倒U型关系保持正向调节作用。此外，采用纵向结构方程模型（SEM）进行分析，可以缓解更常用的横截面分析中出现的内生性问题。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Innovation (IJIM) is the official journal of the International Society of Professional Innovation Management (ISPIM). Both the IJIM and ISPIM adopt a multi-disciplinary approach to addressing the many challenges of managing innovation, rather than a narrow focus on a single aspect such as technology, R&D or new product development. Both are also international, inclusive & practical, and encourage active interaction between academics, managers and consultants.
