摘要
This study investigates the influence of slack resources on firms'collaborative innovation performance.Based on a two-stage research design,including interviews and a research survey of 451 high-tech manufacturing firms,the results show that while collaborations within the value chain and scientific partners have a positive impact on firms’innovation performance,unabsorbed slack resources have a significant positive moderating role in these positive impacts.However,absorbed slack resources show a direct positive impact only on innovation performance and do not appear to have a significant moderating effect on scientific collaboration.
