Strategic foresight, knowledge management, and open innovation: Drivers of new product development success by Muhammad Faraz Mubarak, Giedrius Jucevicius, Mubarra Shabbir, Monika Petraite, Morteza Ghobakhloo, Richard Evans

“…Grounded in the knowledge-based view (KBV) of the firm, it investigates how strategic foresight influences open innovation processes and how knowledge management catalyzes innovation success. Using structural equation modelling (SEM) on data collected from 298 technology-based firms located in Lithuania (n = 142) and Slovakia (n = 156), the study demonstrates that strategic foresight directly impacts open innovation and significantly improves new product development through open innovation; in addition, knowledge exploration and exploitation are shown to play important roles in open innovation, with balanced effects on new product development outcomes. …”
