Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to respond to the existing gap in the literature and analyze empirically the mediating role of potential absorptive capacity and innovation capacity in the relationship between socio-cognitive capital and new product performance in tourism businesses.

Design/methodology/approach

Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was applied to measure the effect of independent variables and mediators on the results of new products through information collected from 300 companies through a structured questionnaire applied to tourism companies.

Findings

Important findings are presented demonstrating the positive and significant influence of cognitive social capital on the results of new products; however, this is not enough, so the potential absorption capacity and the capacity for innovation play a very important role in improving the effect on the results of new products. The findings suggest that organizations should direct their culture and shared goals toward assimilation and knowledge and the development of innovation capabilities in order to obtain more successful new product results.

Originality/value

The study adds value to the study of social capital by analyzing social cognitive capital and its impact on new product performance. In contrast to previous studies, it suggests incorporating potential absorptive capacity and innovation capacity as mediating variables in a comprehensive model that illustrates the positive spillover effect, thereby enhancing the outcomes related to new product performance.

研究目的

本文旨在處理現存文獻內的研究缺口。研究人員以實證研究法、去分析於旅遊業內潛在的吸收能力和創新能力在社會認知性資本與新產品性能之間的關聯上所扮演的協調角色。

研究設計/方法

研究人員以結構型問卷向300間旅遊公司收集資料和數據,並使用偏最小平方法的結構方程模型 (PLS-SEM),去測量各自變數與協調者對新產品的成效所產生的影響。

研究結果

研究結果頗為重要,因它證明了認知性社會資本,對新產品的成效會產生積極和重大的影響。唯這仍不足夠; 研究結果更確認了潛在的吸收能力和創新能力在優化新產品成效所帶來的影響方面,確扮演著極其重要的角色; 因此,研究結果建議組織應引導其文化和共同目標,走向知識同化和發展創新能力的道路上,以獲取更成功的新產品成效。

研究的原創性/價值

本研究分析社會認知性資本及它對新產品成效的影響,就此而言,本研究增添了研究社會資本的價值。與過去的研究相比,本研究建議設計一個顯示積極的溢出效應的全面性模型,當中包含潛在的吸收能力和創新能力,作為中介變數,因此,與新產品性能有關的成果得以提昇。

Abstract

Purpose

This article delves into the antecedents of business performance. The main aim of this study is to analyze the effect of knowledge transformation on business performance in firms in the tourism industry and how cognitive and structural social capital heterogeneously moderate this relationship.

Design/methodology/approach

The empirical study was conducted on a sample of 300 firms from the tourism industry in Arequipa-Perú. The analysis was performed by means of partial least squares structural equation modeling, using the Smart PLS software.

Findings

Our findings show that knowledge transformation is key factor for increasing business performance. The results also highlight the significance of interorganizational relationships in this effect and the importance of analyzing each dimension of social capital separately. Thus, it is observed that cognitive social capital enhances the relationship between knowledge transformation and business performance, while (Sari and Indriani, 2023) structural social capital hinders it.

Practical implications

The findings assist practitioners in developing a shared culture, values and goals with their contacts to improve business performance. Furthermore, firms should establish bridging ties with external agents to avoid be stuck in excessively dense networks. Relationships with institutions can act as a bridging agent.

Originality/value

This paper analyses the unresolved question of how knowledge transformation affects the business performance of companies in the tourism sector as well as how different dimensions of social capital influence in this relationship. Addressing these two critical, but as yet unresolved questions, this study draws on absorptive capacity and social capital theories as an overarching framework to present a conceptual model that integrates both theories in order to analyze the effect of knowledge transformation on business performance in tourism firms and the role of structural and cognitive capital on this relationship.
