Impact of Knowledge Application Capability on Innovation Performance: Mediating role of Open Innovation and Moderating Effect of Dynamic Capabilities
Abstract
The study aims to examine the impact of knowledge application capability (KAC) on innovation performance (IO), with a focus on the mediating role of open innovation (OI) and the moderating effect of dynamic capabilities (DCS). This study employed a quantitative research design with a time-lagged approach. Data was collected through a survey-based questionnaire self-administered and online from software houses in Pakistan. A total of 356 questionnaires were completed by managers, project managers, and senior executives in software houses across Pakistan. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS and AMOS software. CFA has been performed in AMOS to analyze the model fitness. As a result, all hypotheses were accepted. The research findings indicate that open innovation (OI) significantly influences on firm's innovation performance (IP).
