Abstract

Digitalization has brought several unpredictable changes in the field of technology and innovation management. Despite several studies on how digital innovation stands out in terms of a firm's performance, there is an evident research gap for empirical studies on technology startups from developing countries. Therefore, this research investigates the impact of digitalization in three categories (digital interconnectedness, digitalized value chains and big data analytics) on exploratory and exploitative innovations under the moderation of absorptive capacity in technology startups of three different sizes operating in Pakistan. The study used the binary probit model and the results reveal the impact of digitalization on exploratory and exploitative innovations is heterogenous in startups of different sizes along with a significant moderating effect of absorptive capacity. The findings suggest that technological innovation plays a different role among different sizes of startups under the moderation of absorptive capacity.

技术创新是好是坏？对初创科技企业的实证调查

数字化给技术和创新管理领域带来了一些不可预测的变化。尽管有多项研究探讨了数字化创新如何在企业绩效方面脱颖而出，但针对发展中国家初创科技企业的实证研究显然还存在空白。因此，本研究调查了三个类别的数字化（数字互联、数字化价值链和大数据分析）对在巴基斯坦运营的三种不同规模的技术初创企业在吸收能力调节下的探索性创新和开发性创新的影响。研究采用了二元 probit 模型，结果显示，数字化对不同规模初创企业的探索性创新和开发性创新的影响是不同的，吸收能力也有显著的调节作用。研究结果表明，在吸收能力的调节下，技术创新在不同规模的初创企业中发挥着不同的作用。
