چکیده
This study investigates the effects of social capital (trust and power) on a high-tech firm’s new product development outcomes through the leveraging of its sensing capability in an emerging market, China. A sample of high-tech firms in China is used to test the proposed relationships. Findings confirm that both trust and power in a high-tech firm’s social network are significantly associated with its two new product development outcomes through sensing capability which fully mediates the relationships. 2012 Elsevier Inc.
