Strategic insights into temporal knowledge management in software industry networks
This study investigates the impact of knowledge absorption and transfer timing on firm performance in the software industry, utilizing 11 years of transaction-level tax invoice data from 2665 firms. Results reveal that early-stage knowledge absorption has a stronger and more sustained impact on performance than late-stage absorption, while knowledge transfer yields only short-term benefits. Firms that consistently internalize external knowledge over the product life cycle outperform those that do not. These findings underscore the significance of temporal alignment in knowledge management strategies, suggesting that software supply chains should prioritize early and continuous knowledge absorption to enhance competitiveness and innovation outcomes.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Engineering and Technology Management (JET-M) is an international scholarly refereed research journal which aims to promote the theory and practice of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
The journal links engineering, science, and management disciplines. It addresses the issues involved in the planning, development, and implementation of technological capabilities to shape and accomplish the strategic and operational objectives of an organization. It covers not only R&D management, but also the entire spectrum of managerial concerns in technology-based organizations. This includes issues relating to new product development, human resource management, innovation process management, project management, technological fusion, marketing, technological forecasting and strategic planning.
The journal provides an interface between technology and other corporate functions, such as R&D, marketing, manufacturing and administration. Its ultimate goal is to make a profound contribution to theory development, research and practice by serving as a leading forum for the publication of scholarly research on all aspects of technology, innovation, and engineering management.
