  • Being Innovator Or 'Imovator': Current Dilemma?
    J Knowl Econ (2018) 9:212–227 DOI 10.1007/s13132-015-0336-6 Being Innovator or ‘Imovator’: Current Dilemma? Veronica Scuotto1 & Sunil Shukla2 Received: 25 October 2015 /Accepted: 11 November 2015 / Published online: 21 December 2015 # The Author(s) 2015. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract Currently high competitive environment of emerging markets is characterized by a new typology of firm. Such new kind of firm has been defined second mover or ‘imovator’. An imovator combines aspects of both imitation and innovation strategies (Shenkar 2010). It exploits the external resources and capabilities of its own network system in order to improve business performance and increase technological capabilities. It takes inspiration from successful innovative products in order to create a similar product but with technical improvements and lower production costs. In the current management literature there are different points of view regards to the competitive advantage to be innovator or imitator: some scholars argue that being innovator is advantageous to com- panies in order to dominate new market and to acquire a wide range of consumers whereas others point out that it is more efficient and successful to follow the first comer. However none has been studied how the combination between innovation and imitation may affect firms’ performance through adpting knowledge exploitation approach and creating rela- tionship with firms’ Innovation Network System. So in order to address this gap, the paper analyses two case studies, that is Lenovo from China and redBus.in from India. Keywords Imovator. Innovation . India . China . Emerging markets Introduction The high competitive markets face companies to implement not just an innovation strategy or an imitation one but an imovation strategy, i.e.
