Disentangling the influence of technological process and product innovations

Organizational innovation and its effects, and the influence on them of technological innovations, have been under-researched. In this paper the specific impacts that technological product and process innovations have on organizational innovation performance are disentangled. Analysis of 9369 organizational innovators drawn from CIS data shows the impact of each type of technological innovation on organizational innovation performance. Technological process innovations strengthen the impact of organizational innovation whereas the introduction of technological product innovations diminishes it.
