Despite the importance of customer participation in new product development in business-to-business markets, its specific challenges and potential downsides are under-examined. Drawing on the ...boundary theory perspective, this study integrates conflict into the customer participation literature and proposes that whereas customer participation as the information provider (CPI) mitigates customer-developer conflict, customer participation as the codeveloper (CPC) increases it. Furthermore, the nature of new products moderates such effects. Market newness attenuates the role of CPI in mitigating conflict and reduces the positive effect of CPC on conflict; by contrast, technology newness increases the influence of CPC on conflict. The empirical results from a sample of 181 high-tech firms in China largely support these propositions, which offer important implications for customer participation research and practices.
Whether or not development model change in China's manufacturing industry (MI) can improve its low-carbon sustainable development (LCSD) to reach the quality objectives of industrial growth and ...carbon emissions reduction has yet to be investigated in the literature. This study investigates the different effects of returns to damage (RTD) under natural disposability (ND) and damages to return (DTR) under managerial disposability (MD) and determines a development model for LCSD performance (LCSDP) for the first time. This study uses a non-oriented and non-radial DDF (NNDDF) method to estimate the LCSDP of China's MI under different types of disposabilities. Moreover, this study utilizes dual formulation based on the NNDDF method to evaluate degree of RTD (DgRTD) and degree of DTR (DgDTR) and investigates the impacts of DgRTD and DgDTR on the LCSDP of the MI through an empirical method. The main conclusions are as follows. First, the overall LCSDP of China's MI under MD is better than that under ND during the surveyed period, which shows that the development model has an obvious impact on the LCSDP of China's MI. Second, China's MI has been experiencing a downward trend in the DgRTD of undesirable congestion (UC) and an improvement in the DgDTR of desirable congestion. Third, the DgRTD of UC has a positive effect on LCSDP under ND， but an important negative effect on LCSDP under MD.

In an effort to optimize organizational performance, various strategies are needed, especially in the police field of investigation. Various efforts can be made in the form of implementing a reward ...system, a certification system and a performance appraisal system. But until now it is still partial and has not provided a sense of justice and increased motivation. Merit system has not become a foundation in the system. This is influenced by several main factors, namely the role of leadership, mental models of Criminal Investigation personnel, surveillance systems. Stakeholder support is still limited to discourse and in the operational field. Stakeholders in the budget sector are still oriented to other fields of activity outside of coaching. The use of information technology that is still partial does not support the operation of the investigator guidance system. Operationalisation of the system that is still manual also still occurs so that the data and information collected cannot be optimally processed in determining the performance displayed by the National Police investigator, the rewards given as well as the competency map and special areas of expertise. These factors are influenced by mental models in definitive routines, the attention of leaders and blueprints for the design of an IT-based police investigating system. Therefore, the mental model that encourages innovation and breakthrough needs to be created, the struggle of leaders in setting programs and budgets as well as the blueprint for system design that is complete and ready to be followed up.
Although the returns of customer participation on new product development (NPD) performance can vary substantially, the current literature lacks a systematic conceptual and empirical integration ...showing when customer participation is valuable in enhancing NPD performance. Building on knowledge management theory, the authors present a conceptual framework that synthesizes a variety of contingency factors. A meta-analysis empirically examines the moderating effects of contextual factors between customer participation and NPD performance. The analysis reveals that involving customers in the ideation and launch stages of NPD improves new product financial performance directly as well as indirectly through acceleration of time to market, whereas customer participation in the development phase slows down time to market, deteriorating new product financial performance. Furthermore, the benefits of customer participation on NPD performance are greater in technologically turbulent NPD projects, in emerging countries, in low-tech industries, for business customers, and for small firms. The authors discuss several theoretical and managerial implications about when to engage customers in the innovation process.
While strategic agility is increasingly acknowledged as a critical source of innovation and product development performance (PDP), little attention has been paid to the micro-individual capabilities ...that translate strategic agility into greater PDP. This study examines the mediating roles of employee resilience and self-efficacy as key dynamic micro-level (individual) capabilities that connect firms' strategic agility to their PDP in the emerging market of Türkiye. We draw on dynamic capabilities theory, adopt a microfoundations approach, and run a multilevel analysis using data from 758 managers working in 185 firms to test our hypotheses. We draw on the microfoundations of PDP and provide important insights into how individual capabilities enable attaining higher PDP in emerging markets. In particular, the findings suggest that strategic agility is positively associated with PDP. Also, the impact of strategic agility on PDP -both examined at the organizational level- is conveyed through individual-level capabilities of employee resilience and self-efficacy. Our study makes significant theoretical contributions to innovation and product development, operations management, and strategic agility research and draws managerial implications.
Globalization, digital acceleration, and market shocks have all revealed the importance of new product development in enabling companies to remain competitive. Focusing on digitally mature companies, ...we look into the different routes that organizations can take to accomplish this goal, involving a mix of inbound/outbound open innovation, digital transformation, and absorptive capabilities in the path towards higher levels of new product development performance. By employing structural equation modeling and fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis, four different organizational pathways emerge. A detailed analysis of these pathways provides further insights for scholars and practitioners, enhancing our understanding of the active role of open innovation, digital transformation, and absorptive capacity in new product development performance.
•Open innovation, digital transformation, and absorptive capacity affect NPD performance.•Different organizational configurations may lead to a greater NPD performance.•Outbound OI is particularly beneficial for NPD performance.•Digital transformation and absorptive capacity have a pivotal role towards greater NPD performance.
The purpose of this study is to test and analyze the influence of fiscal decentralization on development performance in Indonesia using the structural equation model approach. The data uses panel ...data, from 34 provinces and in 2015-2019 sourced from the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Indonesia and the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). Data analysis using structural equation model approach with the help of Smart-PLS 3.3.3 software. The outer model evaluation results concluded that all indicators of fiscal decentralization variables and economic development performance variables are valid. The most powerful indicator reflecting the latent variable of fiscal decentralization is the ratio of regional income and economic development performance is an indicator of economic growth. The results of the evaluation of the inner model found that fiscal decentralization performance has a positive and significant influence on development performance. The existence of fiscal inequality among provinces in Indonesia causes uneven ratios of capital expenditures and public incomes as seen from the low indicator in reflecting decentralization of fiscal and economic performance
How does organizational digitalization enable enterprises to achieve sustainable development? To explore this question, in this paper, sustainable development performance is characterized by the ...corporate's financial performance and environmental performance respectively, and the intermediary role of green technology innovation is explored. Taking China's listed companies from 2011 to 2020 as the research sample, the empirical results suggest the following: (a) corporate digitalization positively affects corporate sustainability in terms of its financial performance and environmental performance; (b) exploratory green-tech innovation fully mediates the relationship between digitalization and corporate sustainability, while the exploitative counterpart partially mediates this relationship and negatively affects financial performance; (c) state-owned enterprises tend to improve environmental performance through digitalization accelerating green-tech innovation process, while non-state-owned enterprises pay more attention to financial performance. Moreover, enterprises in high-tech industries focus on both financial performance and environmental performance, while enterprises in non-high-tech industries emphasize environmental performance. Therefore, this research can be conducive for enterprises to make full use of digitalization and green technology innovation to achieve sustainable development including the improvement of financial performance and environmental performance.
The authors propose a mediated moderation model that links marketing capability from an outside-in perspective, organizational adaptation mechanism exploitation and exploration, organizational ...structural factors, and new product development (NPD) performance. The model is tested using survey data from USA and China. The results suggest that marketing capability is positively associated with NPD performance. Moreover, exploitation and exploration respectively mediate the positive relationship between marketing capability and NPD performance. In addition, customer-based structure, decentralization, and interfunctional integration positively moderate the relationship between marketing capability and NPD performance. The results suggest that marketing capability is important for the firm to adapt to external changes as long as the firm aligns organizational structural factors with the requirement of marketing capability for exploitation and exploration in product innovation.
We contribute to extant research that has largely focused on foreign direct investment by examining how an under-studied type of financial inflow (remittances) influences the economic development of ...recipient Emerging Market Countries (EMCs). We do so by explaining how variations in the cultural context of recipient EMCs influence the value-generating effects of remittances. Our study helps us understand why certain nations can use remittances to improve their economic development (whereas others fail to do so) and the role that cultural contingencies play in determining such outcomes. The empirical analysis of 28 EMCs reveals an interesting pattern, showing that masculinity and power distance increase the economic effects of remittances, whereas uncertainty avoidance and individualism decrease such effects.
