| Summary: | Innovation performance is seen as the backbone of
firm’s sustained competitive advantages. Scholars of the dynamic capability
view suggest that Intellectual Capital (IC), such as human, structural, and
relational capital, are the main driving force of a firm’s Innovation Performance (IP). The
purpose of this study is to investigate the importance of developing firms’
intellectual capital and their role in leveling up innovation performance. In
doing so, this paper conducts an examination by moderating the variable of Innovation Ambidexterity (IA), namely
explorative and exploitative activities. By applying a quantitative and
cross-sectional design, the study deploys data feedback from managers and
executives of manufacturing SMEs across the Moroccan national territory
collected from 286 surveys. The results show that IC has a positive and
significant impact on IP, while IA has a positive and significant effect on
both IP and IC. The study also finds that IA failed to moderate the
relationship between IC and IP. This study contributes to advancing the
capability theory by adding the importance of developing and reconfiguring firm’s
human, structural, and relational capital as the main driving force of
innovation performance. |
