초록/요약
There has been a research gap in structural holes literatures. Some authors argued that structural holes are useful for innovation but some scholars argued that structural holes are not conducive for innovation. In order to reach to the consensus of structural holes literatures, I distinguished firms’ innovative activities into two parts: External boundary spanning and Radical search. So in my research, by incorporating qualitative dimension of innovation, we could explain why there has been a debate on structural holes literature. Furthermore, I explained the impact of structural holes on firm’s innovation in the context of environmental turbulence. The findings demonstrated that depending on how turbulent the environment firms are surrounded by, the effectiveness of structural holes on firms’ innovation could be different. When firms are confronted with high environmental turbulence, structural holes are relevant to Radical search more than External boundary spanning. However, when there is low environmental turbulence, structural holes are pertinent to External boundary spanning more than Radical search. So, this paper concludes that structural holes are given different qualities contingent upon the environmental context.
