This study employs a dynamic capabilities perspective to examine the relationships among strategy orientation, product innovativeness, and new product development performance. This paper proposes that the role of product innovativeness in these relationships differs between the two dimensions of strategy orientation (market orientation and technology orientation) and new product performance. Regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses in a sample of 118 new product development cases. The empirical findings indicate that product innovativeness positively moderates the relationship between market orientation and new product performance, whereas technology orientation affects new product performance through the mediating effects of product innovativeness. Finally, the study provides a discussion on the managerial implications and directions for future research.
