Abstract :
R&D outsourcing has become a new trend and gains more and more concern in recent years. This study empirically examines the moderation of environmental dynamism which both novel and routine R&D outsourcing influences firms´ innovation performance. Based on 70 samples of industrial firms in China, the results indicate that environmental dynamism moderates the relationship between novel R&D outsourcing intensity and firm innovation performance while it does not moderate the routine R&D outsourcing intensity and firm innovation performance.
