Abstract
ABSTRACT New product development (NPD) is necessary for enterprises’ growth and the maintenance of competitive advantage. Although previous studies have explored the multiple antecedents of NPD performance, most of them consider the effect of antecedents in isolation, neglecting their interdependence. Drawing on complexity theory, the study presents a configuration model that combines six antecedents based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. The results of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) show that digital technology application, product innovation, functional coordination, user participation, peer competition and environmental turbulence need to combine with each other in order to produce high NPD performance. The combination of product innovation, functional coordination and user participation plays an important role in NPD. The complementary effects of digital technology application, product innovation, functional coordination and user participation on NPD performance are demonstrated.
期刊介绍:
The growth of the Asia Pacific region and the rising presence of its multinationals in world markets has raised a number of questions about the origins of national economic success. Asia Pacific Business Review addresses these key issues and draws together the lessons of the analysis of culture, economies, history, politics and societies in the area, in order to explore business-related phenomena in the Asia Pacific countries, both in their general and specific contexts. The Review is intended for both academics and interested observers, contains the contributions of recognized experts, and is essential to anyone seeking the latest research on Asia Pacific business in a readily available, approachable form. We welcome articles which deal with nations and societies in the Asia Pacific region, namely those in East Asia and South-East Asia (but not South Asia), including those in APEC and ASEAN, individually or comparatively. Of interest also are contributions on the Asia Pacific economies, comparing those inside with those outside, or those investing in it. We do not, however, publish papers based solely on countries from outside the region.
