This paper looks at this issue by exploring the impacts of knowledge acquisition diversity (KAD) on innovation performance of domestic enterprises in China and the technological contexts (in terms of technology gap and technology development speed) under which KAD is most likely to contribute. Using panel data of the manufacturing industry in China over the 2001\u20132009 period, the results show that KAD has an inverse U-shaped relationship with innovation performance in terms of both product-related innovation performance (NPS) and knowledge-related innovation performance (PAT). Specifically, it reveals that the capability to generate technological innovation over time is dependent on how domestic enterprises manage their portfolio of knowledge sourcing channels to learn from foreign enterprises. Moreover, it is shown that the technology gap significantly moderates the inverted U-shaped relationship between KAD and both NPS and PAT. Technology development speed has a moderating effect on the inverted U-shaped relationship between KAD and innovation only in terms of NPS. The results of this study can help us to understand the relationships among technological contexts, KAD and innovation performance of domestic enterprises in emerging countries.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/su12030945","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]],"date-time":"2020-01-28T09:37:09Z","timestamp":1580204229000},"page":"945","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["How Knowledge Acquisition Diversity Affects Innovation Performance during the Technological Catch-Up in Emerging Economies: A Moderated Inverse U-Shape Relationship"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5077-2194","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Qiang","family":"Li","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Business, Zhejiang University City College, Hangzhou 310015, China"}]},{"given":"Jing-Jing","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institutes of Science and Development, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100190, China"},{"name":"School of Public Policy and Management, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100039, China"}]},{"given":"Wei","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Business School, Qingdao University, Qingdao 266100, China"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Guang","family":"Yue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science and Engineering, School of Sciences, European University Cyprus, Nicosia 1516, Cyprus"},{"name":"CIICESI-ESTG, Porto Polytechnic, Felgueiras 4610-156, Portugal"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4156-7922","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nelson","family":"Duarte","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIICESI-ESTG, Porto Polytechnic, Felgueiras 4610-156, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Carla","family":"Pereira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIICESI-ESTG, Porto Polytechnic, Felgueiras 4610-156, Portugal"},{"name":"INESC TEC, Porto 4200-465, Portugal"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"467","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1020586223665","article-title":"Competitive advantages of the latecomer firm: A resource-based account of industrial catch-up strategies","volume":"19","author":"Mathews","year":"2002","journal-title":"Asia Pac.
