These gaps include a lack of research employing a decompositional approach to studying product innovation and a related lack of research investigating the effect of organizational characteristics on specific stages of the product innovation process. This research note / study attempts to close these gaps by developing and testing a model examining the moderating effects of organizational characteristics on the relationship btw. the amount of market information gathered and the number of new product ideas generated by work groups in organizations. The study findings provide insights into the types of organizational structure and climate characteristics that can have an impact on the relationship between amount of market information and new product idea generation. |
