چکیده

ABSTRACT


Innovation occurs when knowledge about unmet customer needs intersects with knowledge about technological solutions. Both knowledge types are often located outside the firm and need to be absorbed in order for innovation to occur. While there has been extensive research into absorptive capacity for solution knowledge, a necessary complement − absorptive capacity for new customer needs − has been neglected. In an individuallevel study of 864 employees from a home appliance firm, we show that need absorptive capacity is theoretically and empirically distinct from solution absorptive capacity, and that both are positively associated with employee innovativeness. Interestingly, we find asymmetric extra-domain effects: prior solution knowledge is positively related to need absorptive capacity (cross-pollination effect), while prior need knowledge is negatively related to solution absorptive capacity (attenuation effect). We contrast the cognitive underpinnings of the two absorptive capacity types, contributing to emerging scholarly thinking on the domain-specificity and micro foundations of absorptive capacity.

5. Discussion


In this study, we sought to advance our understanding of absorptive capacity in knowledge domains other than technological solutions, specifically in the need knowledge domain, and to analyze its principal antecedents and consequences for innovation. Using a large sample of employees in a white goods firm, we tested and confirmed several hypotheses: Employees with more prior need knowledge and more solution knowledge had higher need absorptive capacity. Thus, need absorptive capacity is rooted in both intra-domain and extra-domain knowledge. We do not find a symmetric effect in the case of solution absorptive capacity: solution knowledge is positively related to solution absorptive capacity, while need knowledge has a negative direct effect on solution absorptive capacity. Finally, we found that both need absorptive capacity and solution absorptive capacity are associated with higher innovativeness of employees.
