Haste makes waste: Nonlinear effects of proactive orientation on innovation speed in new ventures
Drawing on resource orchestration theory, how proactive orientation impacts the speed of innovation in new ventures was examined along with the moderating effects of entrepreneurs’ business experience and political networking capability. Data from a survey of 574 new ventures indicate an inverted U-shaped relationship between proactive orientation and innovation speed. Political networking capability and business experience enhance the positive effects of proactive orientation on innovation speed, increasing innovation speed-related returns from proactive orientation and diminishing the negative effects of excessive proactive orientation. These findings enrich and advance research on resource orchestration and innovation speed, contributing to a deeper understanding of how new ventures can transform their proactive orientation into faster innovation despite limited resources.
期刊介绍:
The interdisciplinary journal Technovation covers various aspects of technological innovation, exploring processes, products, and social impacts. It examines innovation in both process and product realms, including social innovations like regulatory frameworks and non-economic benefits. Topics range from emerging trends and capital for development to managing technology-intensive ventures and innovation in organizations of different sizes. It also discusses organizational structures, investment strategies for science and technology enterprises, and the roles of technological innovators. Additionally, it addresses technology transfer between developing countries and innovation across enterprise, political, and economic systems.
