These studies, however, are mainly based on theoretical analysis and case studies, and little is empirically known about the relationship between IT investments and collaborative innovation. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically explore how firms' IT investments affect the firms' collaborative innovation performance. The authors also examine the moderating roles of the top management team's (TMT's) educational background and absorptive capacity in this relationship.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Design\/methodology\/approach<\/jats:title><jats:p>The authors collected data on 2,097 listed Chinese manufacturing companies and used the ordinary least squares (OLS) method to perform regression analysis. In addition, the authors conducted robustness tests using the propensity score matching (PSM) method and the instrumental variable method.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Findings<\/jats:title><jats:p>The results show that the relationship between IT investments and collaborative innovation is inverted, U-shaped and curvilinear. In addition, the TMT's educational background and absorptive capacity positively moderate the inverted U-shaped relationship between IT investments and collaborative innovation.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-subheading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>The study's findings on the relationship between IT investments and collaborative innovation differ from previous mainstream findings that recognized a positive linear relationship. The authors' findings deepen the understanding of the dual role of IT investments. Moreover, this research helps expand the contingency perspective in IT investments and collaborative innovation research.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1108\/intr-12-2021-0899","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,11]],"date-time":"2023-05-11T04:13:04Z","timestamp":1683778384000},"page":"1017-1045","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["IT investment and corporate collaborative innovation: the\u00a0moderating role of the top\u00a0management team's educational\u00a0background and\u00a0absorptive capacity"],"prefix":"10.1108","volume":"34","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1085-0431","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wenqing","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0755-5220","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pianpian","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6988-5829","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sang-Bing","family":"Tsai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"140","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,5,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"368","DOI":"10.1111\/caim.12437","article-title":"Implementing digitally enabled collaborative innovation: a case study of online and offline interaction in the German automotive industry","volume":"30","year":"2021","journal-title":"Creativity and Innovation Management"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref002","first-page":"23","article-title":"Intellectual capital and business performance: the role of dimensions of absorptive capacity","volume":"21","year":"2020","journal-title":"Journal of Intellectual Capital"},{"issue":"4","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref089","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"495","DOI":"10.1177\/014920639702300401","article-title":"The effects of top management team size and interaction norms on cognitive and affective conflict","volume":"23","year":"1997","journal-title":"Journal of Management"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"896","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ibusrev.2017.02.007","article-title":"Bibliometric analysis of absorptive capacity","volume":"26","year":"2017","journal-title":"International Business Review"},{"issue":"7","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1352","DOI":"10.1016\/j.respol.2016.03.019","article-title":"The paradox of openness revisited: collaborative innovation and patenting by UK innovators","volume":"45","year":"2016","journal-title":"Research Policy"},{"issue":"11","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref005","first-page":"59","article-title":"Digital economy development and firm price addition: theoretical mechanisms and empirical facts","volume":"404","year":"2021","journal-title":"China Industrial Economics"},{"issue":"5","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1485","DOI":"10.1287\/orsc.1110.0703","article-title":"The lure of the virtual","volume":"23","year":"2012","journal-title":"Organization Science"},{"issue":"1","key":"key2024052107015392500_ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"99","DOI":"10.1177\/014920639101700108","article-title":"Firm resources and sustained competitive advantage","volume":"17","year":"1991","journal-title":"Journal of Management"},{"key":"key2024052107015392500_ref008","unstructured":"Baslandze, S.
