Abstract: How do innovation routines change learning activities within the new product development (NPD) process? Why does the subsequent impact differ across organisations? Our model explores the relationships between innovation routines, learning activities, relational ties, and resources in organisations in the NPD context. First, innovation routines facilitate learning activities in NPD, and learning activities promote innovation routines. Second, rather than only a bidirectional relationship between innovation routines and learning activities, the data reveal causation involving innovation processes and learning activities. Finally, the reciprocal causation between relational connections and innovation processes is indirect; we investigate the mechanism of this indirect relationship and the impact of strong ties and resources on this relationship.
