Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigates how organizational learning, absorptive capacity, cultural integration, specialization of the acquired firm and characteristics of transferred knowledge impact innovation performance subsequent to overseas acquisitions. Design/methodology/approach – Survey responses from 222 Chinese multinational enterprises engaged in overseas acquisitions. Findings – Differences between acquiring and acquired firms’ capabilities, while having a positive direct influence, suppress the positive impact of organizational learning and absorptive capacity, suggesting that multinationals require some basic level of capabilities to appropriate value from overseas acquisitions. Research limitations/implications – This paper investigates the impact of knowledge-seeking overseas acquisition of Chinese multinationals on innovation performance, as this appears to be the primary motive for making such acquisitions. Practical implications – Knowledge-seeking overseas acquisition should be based upon the absorptive capacity of the acquiring firm and complementarity between both firms. In knowledge-seeking overseas acquisitions, establishing an effective organizational learning mechanism is necessary for improving innovation performance. Originality/value – This paper reports on the behaviour and innovation performance of Chinese multinationals through analysis of primary data.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Globalization has led to a universal learning race in which organizations strive to achieve or maintain a competitive advantage through learning and innovation. Extant literature in organizational learning and international marketing, however, is often confusing and/or ambiguous on the fundamental conceptualization of different types of learning, and on the relationships between different types of learning and subsequent innovation performance. This study proposes a contingency model to examine how external market conditions and internal organizational conditions influence the learning pathways taken by subsidiaries of multinational companies (MNCs) and, in turn, how those choices affect innovation performance. Drawing on organizational learning and international marketing literatures, this study (1) explicitly distinguishes between a subsidiary's learning orientations (i.e., the exploration and exploitation orientations) and actual manifested learning actions (i.e., the exploration and exploitation activities); (2) unpacks the internal organizational conditions under which the relationships between exploration / exploitation orientations and exploration / exploitation actions become stronger or weaker; and (3) identifies the external market conditions under which exploration / exploitation actions become more effective in contributing to subsidiary innovation performance. The proposed model was empirically tested with survey data collected from 212 executive managers of subsidiaries operating in China, an emerging market with high strategic importance to foreign direct investment and offering rich opportunity for organizational learning and innovation. The results indicated that subsidiary autonomy and interdependence amplifies the impact of exploitation orientation on exploitation actions, while subsidiary internal competition amplifies the impact of exploration orientation on exploration actions. The research findings also suggested that subsidiary exploration actions are more effective on innovation performance under unique and dynamic market conditions. This study contributes to a greater clarity and better understanding of how MNC subsidiaries may effectively pursue different types of learning, under different market and internal organizational conditions, to improve innovation performance. The findings also have implications for company managers' critical resource allocation as they attempt to maximize benefits from their exploitation and exploration activities.

The Impact

<p>A thorough understanding of the impact of culture on innovation strategy formulation and implementation processes as well as product innovation performance is crucial for successful innovation management. The paper through a combination of two research approach, KJ analysis and formal survey aims to shade light on the extent and direction of culture’s impact on product innovation performance. A hypothetical model that links the three bodies of knowledge, national culture, innovation strategy and product innovation performance was developed and tested by using survey data from Ethiopian manufacturing firms. Major problems with the current innovation strategy formulation and implementation process were identified and the role of culture was explored. The result indicates that even though the current cultural setup has a detrimental effect on the performance, the extent of its impact can be minimized through task oriented leadership practice.</p>
