Capabilities, Innovation and Performance of Brazilian Exporting Firms (original) (raw)
Premised on the resource-based view and dynamic capability perspective, we examine the differential and interactive effects of the exploration and exploitation capabilities in new product development for external markets and in overall performance. In addition, we test the moderate effect of market dynamism and the control effect of firm size on these relationships. Our model was tested with data from 498 Brazilian exporting firms, applying structural equation modeling (SEM). We found support to the hypotheses that exploitation capabilities influence both product innovation and performance, whereas exploration capabilities and its interaction with exploitation influence performance but not product innovation.
