PurposeThe的目的，本文是借鉴动态能力观和权变理论，以澄清的性质，环境动荡的影响之间的关系，企业的产品和流程创新和经营业绩。设计/方法/approachThe作者开发和实证检验两个结构模型，使用结构方程建模方法。第一个模型涉及产品和工艺创新作为环境动荡和企业绩效之间的中介。第二个模型考虑了环境动荡在创新与企业绩效之间的调节作用，发现环境动荡并不调节创新与企业绩效之间的关系。作者已经发现了一个明确的作用，环境动荡，在促进创新，而不是缓和创新和performance.Research的限制/implicationsThe数据集是一个横截面的异质性企业关于industry.Practical implicationsManagers应该意识到的重要性，创新的环境动荡和动力抵消之间的关系。研究结果显示，环境动荡对企业绩效有负面影响。然而，随着创新的等式中，这种影响可以是积极的，因为它促进了企业的创新，虽然以实现更好的经营业绩。独创性/价值它有助于管理和创新的研究和实践，通过提供洞察环境动荡的作用，在产品创新，过程创新以及组织经营绩效之间的中介和调节作用的综合分析所观察到的结构。
PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to draw on dynamic capability view and contingency theory to clarify the nature of the effect of environmental turbulence on the relationships between firm’s both product and process innovations and business performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors developed and empirically tested two structural models using structural equation modeling approach. The first model deals with both product and process innovations as the mediators between environmental turbulence and business performance. The second model considers the moderating effect of environmental turbulence between innovation and business performance.FindingsThe findings show that environmental turbulence does not moderate the relationship between innovation and business performance. The authors have found a clear role of environmental turbulence in boosting innovation rather than moderating the relationship between innovation and performance.Research limitations/implicationsThe data set is a cross-section of heterogeneous firms regarding the industry.Practical implicationsManagers should be aware of the importance of the innovation for the environmental turbulence and dynamism counteracting. The results imply a negative influence of environmental turbulence on business performance. However, with the innovation in the equation, this influence can be positive, because it boosts firms to innovate and though to achieve better business performance.Originality/valueIt contributes the management and innovation research and practice through offering insights into the role of environmental turbulence in product innovation, process innovation as well as organizational business performance through comprehensive analysis of mediation and moderation effects between the observed constructs.
