Abstract

Using the resource-based view and knowledge spillover, this study investigates the direct effects of Internet capabilities (communication, platform, and connection capabilities) on product and process innovation across 10 Balkan countries from 2007 to 2019. The study examines the role of foreign technology licensing in moderating these relationships. In line with findings from developed countries, the empirical results show that Internet capabilities positively influence product and process innovation. Surprisingly, foreign technology licensing was unable to enhance the positive effects of Internet capabilities on process and product innovation due to the overlapped benefits and the potential costs and risks involved in the Balkan countries. As a result, our study enhances the literature's understanding of Internet capabilities' effects on innovation and the role of foreign technology licensing, enriching current knowledge and providing practical implications for the developing context of the Balkan countries.

巴尔干国家的互联网能力和创新:外国技术许可的作用
利用基于资源的观点和知识溢出,本研究调查了2007-2019年10个巴尔干国家互联网能力(通信、平台和连接能力)对产品和流程创新的直接影响。该研究考察了外国技术许可在调节这些关系中的作用。与发达国家的研究结果一致,实证结果表明,互联网能力对产品和流程创新有积极影响。令人惊讶的是,由于巴尔干国家利益重叠以及潜在成本和风险,外国技术许可无法增强互联网能力对工艺和产品创新的积极影响。因此,我们的研究增强了文献对互联网能力对创新的影响以及外国技术许可的作用的理解,丰富了当前的知识,并为巴尔干国家的发展背景提供了实际意义。
