The present paper investigates on the comparative influences of interorganizational community’s knowledge heterogeneity and knowledge creation mechanisms on collaborative new product development performance (CNPDP) in Taiwanese industry-academic collaboration projects over time. Results indicate that: first, as compared with earlier-stage knowledge heterogeneity, the latter-stage knowledge heterogeneity influences more negatively and significantly on shortterm CNPDP; second, relatively, the latter-stage knowledge heterogeneity influences negatively on short-term CNPDP, while thirdly, knowledge creation mechanisms influences more significantly on long-term CNPDP positively or negatively – whereas the socialization and externalization mechanisms influence negatively, the combination and internalization influence positively on the longterm CNPDP. We make explicit the importance impacts of collective knowledge structure and formalized knowledge creation mechanisms. Such results also offer implications for the theory and practices regarding continuous development of industry-academic collaboration. |
