Publication Open Access How many to be different? The role of number and the partner type on innovation performance(Taylor & Francis, 2022) Ismail, Muhammad; Bello Pintado, Alejandro; García Marco, María Teresa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBECollaboration with external partners for innovation is seen as a major driver of novel ideas. Previous studies have revealed the importance of collaboration with different partners on innovation performance; however, many questions regarding this association remain unresolved. This study aims to analyse the effects of collaboration with different types of partners on the innovation performance and how the cognitive distance affects this relationship. This study also distinguishes between incremental and radical innovations as outcomes of cooperation, and provides differing implications for the two innovations types. Based on empirical analyses performed on a sample of 12,000 Spanish firms, we found supportive evidence that both radical and incremental innovation require a distinct number of collaboration partners to optimise innovation performance. Further, relationship between the number of partners and innovation performance is moderated by the cognitive distance between the focal firm and the respective partner: positively for radical innovation and negatively for incremental innovation performance.Publication Open Access Enhancing open innovation: managing not invented here syndrome in collaborative projects(Elsevier, 2023) Ismail, Muhammad; Bello Pintado, Alejandro; García Marco, María Teresa; Lazzarotti, Valentina; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBEDespite having consensus on the negative relationship between individuals’ biased attitude towards externally generated ideas and the applicability of inbound open innovation (OI) as a strategy, we find a gap in the literature regarding how individual unwillingness – not-invented-here syndrome (NIHS) – actually affects the innovation performance achieved through collaboration and what management tools are available to counter it. This study addresses these two questions by testing the relationship between NIHS and innovation performance and the impact of innovation climate as a way to reduce this negative attitude. Based on quantitative survey data collected from 250 firms across France, Italy, Spain, and Sweden, we confirm that innovation climate is a useful management tool for managing NIHS by opening individuals towards external ideas, ultimately helping firms to improve their innovation performance through collaboration. Most interestingly, we also find that the impact of NIHS on inbound open innovation performance achieved through a collaborative project is mediated through external social capital rather than having a direct impact. Since external social capital serves as a link between two collaborating firms, it’s weakening caused by NIHS, subsequently leads to reduced project performance achieved through the inbound OI strategy.Publication Open Access Pay to be green? The effect of corporate social responsibility contracting on green innovation performance(SAGE, 2023) Hou, Yuting; Bello Pintado, Alejandro; García Marco, María Teresa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBEThis study examines how the integration of corporate social responsibility (CSR) criteria in executive compensation can improve green innovation performance in European countries. Using agency theory and stakeholder theory, and a database of 5,603 firm-year observations from European companies in the period 2012–2021, we find that CSR aligns the interests of senior executives with the company’s green innovation goals through green compensation contracts. We also explore the indirect effect in this relationship and reveal that the implementation of green practices mediates the impact of CSR contracting on green innovation performance. These findings indicate that CSR contracting as an effective governance mechanism could be strengthened by green practices, such as reducing resource use, water efficiency, energy reuse, emission reduction and pollution prevention. This study offers valuable insights for senior executives and policymakers who wish to manage CSR initiatives and green practices to improve their green innovation performance.Publication Open Access Product/process definition, technology adoption and workforce qualification: impact on performance(Taylor & Francis, 2019) Bello Pintado, Alejandro; García Marco, María Teresa; Zouaghi, Ferdaous; Enpresen Kudeaketa; Institute for Advanced Research in Business and Economics - INARBE; Gestión de EmpresasThis paper analyses the impact of manufacturing technologies (MTs) and workers' qualifications on labour productivity and flexibility, taking into account the product-process (P-P) strategy adopted by the company. This allows for a discussion about the well-known P-P matrix initially proposed by Hayes and Wheelwright (1994) in order to evaluate options of production systems. The empirical analysis is performed by means of a panel of data of 13 years for the Spanish manufacturing industry, which includes a total of 7741 observations. The results indicate a complementary effect between technology and skills to overcome the trade-offs of production systems.
