Firms invest much of their capital into basic research in order to generate new ideas and technologies. However, converting new technology concepts into marketable products is difficult, and firms struggle with transitioning projects from a knowledge discovery to product development, a gap referred to as the Valley of Death (VoD). While the concept of VoD has been well documented, the literature provides little guidance on how this gap can be overcome within firms and what role broader organizational factors play in this process. Building on the motivation-opportunity-ability (MOA) framework, the authors propose and test a series of hypotheses using a survey of 308 managers. The results indicate that while organizational complexity does not directly impact a firm's application ability (the ability to overcome the VoD), product complexity has a positive effect. In addition, both organizational and product complexity interact with market turbulence in influencing a firm's application ability, and there is an inverted-U shape relationship between application ability and radical innovation performance.

复杂性在死亡之谷和激进创新绩效中的作用

公司将大部分资金投入到基础研究中,以产生新的想法和技术。然而,将新技术概念转化为适销对路的产品是很困难的,并且公司在将项目从知识发现转变为产品开发方面苦苦挣扎,这一差距被称为死亡之谷 (VoD)。虽然 VoD 的概念已被充分记录,但文献很少提供关于如何在公司内部克服这种差距以及更广泛的组织因素在此过程中发挥的作用的指导。在动机-机会-能力 (MOA) 框架的基础上,作者通过对 308 名经理的调查提出并测试了一系列假设。结果表明,虽然组织复杂性不会直接影响公司的应用能力(克服 VoD 的能力),产品的复杂性有积极的影响。此外,组织复杂性和产品复杂性都与市场动荡相互作用影响企业的应用能力,应用能力与激进创新绩效之间存在倒U型关系。
