Need for Speed in the Sharing Economy: How IT capability drives Innovation Speed?

Though innovation is considered to be the lifeblood of business, speed of innovation is more critical than innovation itself. IT plays a critical role in the process of open innovation as it is based upon collaborating with suppliers and customers. IT enables increased collaboration and generation of insights across the firm’s partner network. We examine the role of IT-enabled capabilities in determining the speed of innovation. We hypothesize that collaboration with customers is more effective than collaboration with suppliers for firms to speedily innovate. Further, a firm’s digital collaboration with customers is more effective when Business Intelligence systems are used. Econometric analyses of data from 249 U.S. firms yields strong support for our hypotheses. While both customer-side and supplier- side digital collaboration are positively associated with innovation speed, the effect of customer-side digital collaboration on innovation speed is stronger. Furthermore, Business Intelligence systems use amplifies the effect of customer-side digital collaboration

Improving Firm’s Innovation Performance through Transformation Leadership and Knowledge Sharing: the Moderating Role of absorptive Capacity. Case Study in Jordan

The goal of this research is to determine the impact of transformative leadership (TL) on innovation performance in terms of process and product innovation It improves perceptions of paths to enhance certain characteristics of innovation performance by assessing the mediating function of knowledge sharing (KS) and the moderating effect of absorptive ability. Based on data obtained from 243 participants in Jordanian pharmaceutical enterprises, this study performs a questionnaire survey and uses Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to evaluate hypotheses in the suggested research model.The research shows that TL is the primary driving factor behind the KS process and innovative results. The research addresses a large gap in the literature by focusing on how KS mediates the impact of TL on certain characteristics of innovative performance. The research greatly helps to developing the deeper understanding of the particular circumstances to increase the link between KS and innovative performance by examining the moderator of absorptive capacity
