Abstract

This chapter aims to have a better understanding of the roles of strategic orientations in developing new products for quality innovation. First, the authors apply the path-deepening and path-creating orientation perspectives to clarify the key sub-dimensions of strategic orientation and outline their effects on firms’ new product development performance, respectively. Then, the chapter proposes the contingent effects of several factors from both environmental and organizational levels. Finally, based upon a sample of 392 manufacturing firms located in Zhejiang Province in China, the results support all the arguments.
