Abstract

This paper sheds light on the antecedents of management innovation adoption in firms, exploring the simultaneous co-adoption or concurrence with technological innovations. Analyzing 12,824 firms using Spanish CIS 2006 data, we elaborate on previous models (Ganter and Hecker (J Bus Res 66(5):575–584, 2012); Mol and Birkinshaw (J Bus Res 62(12):1269–1280, 2009)), extending them by incorporating two new elements: (1) a resource-based view framework and, (2) the complementarities and organizational integration generated from the simultaneous co-adoption of management and technological innovations. Our results partially confirm those found in the previous models but extend them by showing that management innovation is frequently accompanied by technological innovation, especially when firms are complex innovators. Significant cross-country differences arise, based on institutional environment variety.
