Abstract
The objectives of this study is to analyze the impact of open information innovation which consisted of external technology acquisition and external technology exploitation on export performance by integrating with strategic alliance factors. This study empirically analyzed six hypotheses in 201 sample using the PLS (Partial Least Square) of the structural equation model to verify the moderating effects of organizational culture on the relationship among open information innovation, strategic alliance and export performance. As a result, external technology acquisition dose not affect strategic alliances. On the other hand, external technology exploitation has a positive impact on strategic alliances. Strategic alliances also have a positive impact on export performance. As a result of the moderating effect analysis, the interaction between organizational culture and external technology acquisition has positively influenced strategic alliances. In addition, the moderating effect of organizational culture and external technology exploitation has a significant effect on strategic alliances. However, moderating effect of organizational culture and strategic alliance dose not affect export performance. This study has a contribution to the analysis of the moderating effects of organizational culture. In the future, integrated analysis of open information innovation and external factors is needed.
