This study empirically verifies the impact of product and process innovation on firm performance by considering industry maturity through hierarchical regression analysis using data from the Korean manufacturing industry. Two different measures for firm performance are utilised: innovative product sales and total sales. The results show that both product and process innovation have positive effects on innovative product sales, and industry maturity negatively moderates the positive effect of product innovation on innovative product sales. However, the moderating effect of industry maturity on the relationship between process innovation and innovative product sales is not significantly verified. Moreover, although the direct effect of product and process innovation on total sales is not significantly verified, total sales tend to decrease as the industry matures. Industry maturity positively moderates the effect of process innovation on total sales, while the moderating effect of industry maturity on the relationship between product innovation and total sales is not significantly verified.KEYWORDS: Innovation patternproduct innovationprocess innovationfirm performanceindustry maturity Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work was supported by the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Korea and the National Research Foundation of Korea (NRF-2022S1A5A8052363).","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":"21 21","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134954666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While previous studies investigate the pros and cons of OI in the context of developed countries, this article addresses OI adoption among high-tech SMEs in an emerging country. A multiple case study is pursued within the advanced materials sector in Iran, a sector suitable for opening windows of opportunity to a country endowed with natural resources. Thus, we deeply studied four high-tech SMEs through interviews with key managers, followed by a qualitative content analysis of the transcripts and documents. The results show that besides frequent inbound OI practices, the firms adopt several outbound OI practices. Additionally, this paper found two distinct types of OI behaviour (Selective vs. Non-selective) in relation to the firms’ technology portfolio. Although SMEs that adopt OI in both core and non-core areas are exposed to the knowledge leakage risk, due to their smallness and lack of required resources they prefer to take advantage of external cooperation, at the same time they seek ways for handling leakage concerns through trust-building. This paper has practical implications for managers who think of extending their OI practices into the firms’ core technologies.KEYWORDS: Open innovationSMEcore/ non-core technologiesemerging countriesadvanced materials Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Notes1 Polyvinyl butyral film.Additional informationNotes on contributorsJavad MashayekhJavad Mashayekh, currently serves as an assistant professor at Iran University of Science and Technology (IUST).

By selecting Wufangzhai company in China and conducting case study, it is found that the enterprise not only inherits the quality, ingenuity and culture of the time-honoured brand but also innovates in R&D, marketing, organisational structure and business strategy. The process of inheritance and innovation is a blend of ‘DAO’ and ‘SHU’. ‘DAO’ refers to the brand’s concept rules and deep cores; ‘SHU’ refers to the brand’s methods and forms of display. Analysis from the perspective of different levels that make up the brand, what is inherited are elements and powers of the core level of the brand, which help to maintain the internal authenticity, consistency and continuity of the time-honoured brand; what is innovated are the external levels of the brand, which helps to promote the external elements in fashion, novelty and flexibility. The ambidexterity equilibrium of brand revitalization in the ‘DAO’ of inheritance and the ‘SHU’ of innovation reflects the dialectical logic of change and changeless: centring on improving the value of brand equity, adhering to the core of the brand, and breaking through the external form.KEYWORDS: Chinese time-honoured brandbrand revitalisationbrand inheritancetime-honoured brand innovationtime-honoured brand revitalisation Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Availability of data and materialsData availability is not applicable to this article as no new data were created or analysed in this study.Ethical approvalWritten informed consent for publication of this paper was obtained from the Zhejiang Gongshang University Hangzhou College of commerce and all authors.Additional informationFundingThe article was supported by the Ministry of Education of Humanities and Social Science Project (20YJC630058; 21YJCZH126); Zhejiang Province Education Science Planning 2023 Annual Project (2023SCG265).Notes on contributorsZeren ZhaoZeren Zhao, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou College of Commerce, Hangzhou, People's Republic of China.Yongsheng XiangYongsheng Xiang, Zhejiang Gongshang University, Hangzhou College of Commerce, Hangzhou, People's Republic of China.","PeriodicalId":45884,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Technology Innovation","volume":"50 24","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135819701","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
