"The relationship between collaboration with competitors and goods innovation performance wasinvestigated along with the moderating effect of the innovating firm?s technological capability. Thehypothesis that collaboration with competitors has an inverted U-shaped relationship with goodsinnovation performance was tested using data on new goods introductions from 749 Iranian firms.The results support the balance between competition and collaboration by confirming that collaborationwith competitors contributes considerably to successful goods innovation. The positiveinfluences of co-optation certainly seem consistent with the cooperative arguments that collaborationwith competitors increases absorptive capacity, improves information exchange and facilitatesjoint problem solving. The results also show that unnecessary collaboration with competitorscan have a negative influence on innovation performance, raising concerns about opportunisticexploitation. The results support the existence of a bell-shaped relationship between co-opetitionand goods innovation performance. Technological capability and alliances with universities wereshown to weaken the relationship.Hubungan antara kolaborasi dengan pesaing dan kinerja inovasi barang diinvestigasi bersamaandengan efek moderasi kapabilitas inovasi teknologi perusahaan. Hipotesis bahwa kolaborasi denganpesaing memiliki hubungan berbentuk U terbalik dengan kinerja inovasi barang diuji menggunakandata pada produk baru dari 749 perusahaan Iran. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa keseimbanganantara persaingan dan kolaborasi berkontribusi pada kesuksesan inovasi barang. Pengaruh positifdari kooptasi terlihat konsisten dengan argumentasi bahwa kolaborasi dengan pesaing meningkatkanabsorptive capacity, meningkatkan pertukaran informasi dan memfasilitasi penyelesaianmasalah bersama. Hasil juga menunjukkan bahwa kolaborasi yang tidak penting dengan pesaingdapat berpengaruh negatif terhadap hubungan berbentuk bel antara koopetisi dan kinerja inovasibarang. Kapabilitas teknologi dan aliansi dengan universitas juga mampu melemahkan hubungantersebut."

"The positive impact of absorptive capacity (ACAP) on innovation and the positive impact of innovation on competitive advantage have been proven in different research contexts. However, current knowledge on organizational culture that affects ACAP, innovation and competitive advantage as a whole, remains unclear. This article proposes a model to examine how organizational culture (developmental culture and rational culture) affects ACAP, innovation and competitive advantage, directly and indirectly as well. Surveyed data (in Indonesian Banking Industry) shows that both of organizational culture have a direct impact on ACAP. Only developmental culture has a direct impact on innovation. There is no culture type affects competitive advantage directly. In this research, culture affects competitive advantage through ACAP and innovation."

"Workplace personal web usage (WPWU) is an employee’s activity in using internet for non-relatedtask during working hours. It is considered a counterproductive behavior when done excessivelybecause it can interrupt employee’s productivity, but it can increase creativity and eliminate boredomwhen used in a rational amount. The objective of this study was to prove whether perceivedorganizational injustice had influence on WPWU which affected work productivity. A total of 222respondents working in various industries were gathered through web-survey. By using multinomiallogistic regression analysis, this study found that high level use of internet for unrelated jobsbetween 2 to 4 hours a day was influenced by respondents’ perception of not getting fair treatmentand incentive for being good performer, which then caused them to perform very low completion oftasks. There were two contrasting views regarding this result; organizations considered it as deviantbehavior because it reduced employees’ performance whereas employees regarded it as just shortbreaks to get rid of stress. Hence, this finding suggested that companies should redesign its internetpolicies to accommodate “Work-Life Blend”; blending work and personal lives, as a consequence ofcultural shift in the era of globalization and new technologies."
