Structural Recombination and Innovation: Unlocking Intraorganizational Knowledge Synergy Through Structural Change (2015)
Structural recombination can be both a means for firms to unlock the potential for intraorganizational knowledge recombination and a source of disruption to the firm’s existing knowledge resources. We examine the conditions under which structural recombination leads to more innovation. We find that structural recombination will have a positive effect on innovation where there are substantial intraorganizational knowledge synergies, where path dependence is low, and where knowledge resources are of high quality, limiting disruption.
