Resource Integration and Focal Firm's Breakthrough Innovation: The Moderating Effect of Partner Competitive Relations

Abstract

Abstract:

In the context of the alliance portfolio, enterprises achieve breakthrough innovations through effective resource integration, but these mechanisms are subject to partner competition relationship. In order to explore the relationship among resource integration, alliance partner competition and breakthrough innovation, an empirical study on the data of high-tech enterprises from three provinces is conducted. The results are as follows:firstly,resource integration has positive effect on breakthrough innovation. Secondly, alliance partner competition negatively moderates the effect of resource integration on breakthrough innovation. The conclusion of this paper deepens the research of breakthrough innovation from the perspective of competitive embedding and resource management and prompts business managers to choose the right alliance partners and continually improve their alliance management and resource integration capabilities.

Key words: resource integration, competitive relationship, breakthrough innovation, alliance portfolio
