TLDR
In this article, the authors examine why some firms are better able than others to reap benefits from collaborating with their competitors in innovation, and provide evidence of factors related to this, suggesting that the firm's ability to acquire knowledge from external sources (potential absorptive capacity) and to protect its innovations and core knowledge against imitation (appropriability regime) are relevant in increasing the innovation outcomes of collaborating with its competitors.

Knowledge sharing, knowledge leaking and relative innovation performance: An empirical study

TL;DR: In this article, a survey of 150 Finnish technology-intensive firms showed that external knowledge sharing has a positive effect on innovation performance, but high levels of accidental and intentional knowledge leakage by a firm's employees negatively moderate this relationship.

Coopetition: A systematic review, synthesis, and future research directions

TL;DR: A systematic literature review and a synthesis of high-quality contributions in this field with a focus on a general overview of research on co-copetition, coopetition as a strategy, and the management of co-opetition is presented in this article.

Does incremental and radical innovation performance depend on different types of knowledge accumulation capabilities and organizational size

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored the relationship between internal knowledge creation and absorptive capabilities, and incremental and radical innovation performance, and found that only absorptive capability has a positive direct effect on radical innovation, whereas size has a negative non-significant effect on it.

Relative absorptive capacity and interorganizational learning

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconceptualize the firm-level construct absorptive capacity as a learning dyad-level measure, relative absorptive capacities, and test the model using a sample of pharmaceutical-biotechnology R&D alliances.

Big Data Analytics Capabilities and Innovation: The Mediating Role of Dynamic Capabilities and Moderating Effect of the Environment

TL;DR: Examination of the indirect relationship between a big data analytics capability (BDAC) and two types of innovation capabilities finds that dynamic capabilities fully mediate the effect on both incremental and radical innovation capabilities.

Absorptive capacity: a new perspective on learning and innovation

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that the ability of a firm to recognize the value of new, external information, assimilate it, and apply it to commercial ends is critical to its innovative capabilities.

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys

TL;DR: This article used subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies for estimates of the magnitude of bias and found that the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.

Estimating Nonresponse Bias in Mail Surveys

TL;DR: Valid predictions for the direction of nonresponse bias were obtained from subjective estimates and extrapolations in an analysis of mail survey data from published studies and the use of extrapolation led to substantial improvements over a strategy of not using extrapolation.

Absorptive Capacity: A Review, Reconceptualization, and Extension

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify key dimensions of absorptive capacity and offer a reconceptualization of this construct, and distinguish between a firm's potential and realized capacity, and then advance a model outlining the conditions when the firm's realized capacities can differentially influence the creation and sustenance of its competitive advantage.
