Many contract manufacturers' successful transition from original equipment manufacturers (OEM), original design manufacturers (ODM) to original brand manufacturers (OBM) is typical for studying latecomers' business model transitions in emerging Asia. This study uses data from two industrial innovation surveys (2004-2006 and 2007-2010) in 14 cities located in the Greater China region to describe the innovation practices followed in different business models and the transitions. The results show that OEM latecomers undergo organizational changes in the transitions. ODM entrants have to enhance product innovation and market promotion, and OBM entrants must tailor their organizational and marketing practices. This paper concludes that the business model transition is the matter of firms making an effort to retool their innovation mix for realizing a new value proposition in a specific business model. Theoretical and managerial implications are suggested.

Absorptive capacity and appropriability depth are two concepts based on a firm's capabilities that leverage external knowledge to facilitate new product development performance. This study analyzes the joint effects of absorptive capacity and depth of appropriability regime forms on a firm's new product development. Specifically, we distinguished absorptive capacity between the potential and realized absorptive capacities and appropriability depth as formal and strategic forms. To test our research hypotheses, we analyzed empirical evidence from 311 Taiwanese service firms. The results reveal that the potential and realized absorptive capacities have significant effects that help explain a firm's new product development. Additionally, there are moderating effects of absorptive capacity on new product development performance. The formal appropriability depth exerts a positive effect on the relationship between the realized absorptive capacity and a firm's new product development. The strategic appropriability depth positively moderates the influence of the potential absorptive capacity on a firm's new product development. Finally, the study concludes that complementary nature of absorptive capacity and appropriability strength plays a critical role in contributing to new product development.

This study conceptualizes and empirically investigates how dimensions of public service motivation affect perceived citizenship behaviour in the context of government-owned utilities. This study used a large-scale questionnaire survey from four utility sectors in Taiwan (N = 1,087). The emergent model suggests that compassion (COM) and self-sacrifice (SS) affect the perceived effectiveness of individual-level Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Commitment to the Public Interest (CPI) and Attraction to Public Policy making (APP) affect perceived effectiveness of OCB at the group and organisational levels, respectively. The results support the expected contribution of OCB, from the individual to the group levels, and from the group level to the organisational level. Public utility managers should strive to improve employee attitudes and motivation towards greater levels of OCB.

This paper develops the notion of research ambidexterity (RA) in the context of the entrepreneurial universities. Two levels of research ambidexterity are elaborated - departmental and individual. The putative multilevel relationships between university's antecedents, departmental/individual research ambidexterity and commercial performance are examined. On the basis of a postal questionnaire survey, a dataset of 634 faculty members, 99 departments, and six universities is collected. The results of regressions suggest that both levels of RA facilitate departmental and individual commercial performance, respectively. Moreover, there exist multilevel positive relationships between perceived organizational flexibility, departmental RA, and individual RA and opportunity exploitation. The paper concludes that the development of RA in entrepreneurial universities should be considered as multilevel relationships between universities, departments and individuals.

Though previous research has highlighted how important it is for middle managers to contribute to corporate entrepreneurship, little work has been done to explore how they produce creative performance by examining the direct, curvilinear and moderating effects of their entrepreneurial orientation and social networks. A total of 337 middle managers conducting marketing, R&D and project management in Taiwan are studied. The results suggest that middle managers' disposition towards proactiveness and innovativeness is positively related to their creative performance, and their internal bonding networks and upper management networks are found to strengthen the effects of entrepreneurial orientation on creative performance. However, middle managers' external bridging networks are found to have an inverted U-shaped curvilinear relationship with their creative performance, and to weaken the effect of entrepreneurial orientation on creative performance. These findings echo the interactionist perspective of creativity, implying that middle managers should manage their social networks more carefully, as social interaction with network actors may either facilitate or inhibit their creativity at work.

The paper extends Teece's model of dynamic capabilities (2007) into four types of capabilities: sensing, coordination, autonomy and reconfiguration capabilities. We further develop a structural model between four types of dynamic capabilities and radical innovation performance (RIP) in established firms. Based on a dataset of top 500 manufacturing established firms in Taiwan, the proposed hypotheses are tested using the structural equation models. The results reveal that four types of dynamic capabilities and RIP are positively correlated in a sequential and structural manner. This paper concludes the systemic development of dynamic capabilities can improve RIP in established firms. Finally, we point out some managerial implications for improving RIP in established firms.

The increasing competition in knowledge-intensive economy has made it even more important for technological companies to understand what determines employee creativity since it is a major source for corporate innovation. Research has indicated that individual attribute substantially determines employee creativity, but only few empirical studies have incorporated the influence of contextual factors by taking an interactionist perspective. To extend the current understanding of creativity in technological companies, this study examines the relationship between individual dispositions (innovative cognitive style and proactive personality) and employee creativity, and the moderating role of two critical working conditions (work discretion and time pressure). Hierarchical regression analysis was used to test the proposed hypotheses for a sample of 344 middle-level managers in Taiwanese manufacturing companies, including R&D managers and marketing managers. Middle managers were chosen as representative sample of company employees because their tasks in both departments of a large manufacturing company are relatively creativity-intensive in nature, compared to ordinary employees or managers in other logistics-oriented divisions. Results reveal that work discretion strengthens the effect of proactive personality on creativity whereas time pressure weakens the effect of innovative cognitive style on creativity. This paper contributes to the literature by disentangling the extant gaps among creativity theories and emphasizing the importance of individual-context fit to creativity in work settings.

This paper examines how well five benchmarks of regulatory governance predict and promote the idea of sound regulation in the East Asia and Pacific region, by analysing survey data collected from employees of telecommunications regulatory agencies in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Singapore, China, and Malaysia. This study finds that regulators across the six countries prioritise different benchmarks of regulatory governance in advancing regulatory performance or quality, and suggests that the concept of sound regulation might differ between East and West, given their distinct socio-economic, political, and cultural context. This study also provides insights into regulatory constructs and practices.
