Abstract

The research fills a literature gap on the source knowledge and the process through which it is used by the recipient firm. Focusing on one specific type of source knowledge - design - and the combination patterns through which it is exploited in the New Product Development (NPD) process, we argue that the complementarity of the source and the recipient knowledge is a critical aspect of the absorption process and therefore of the NPD performance. Through an exploratory multi-case study grounded in the French clothing and construction industries, we propose a framework of absorptive capacity and NPD performance.
