Abstract

Continuous innovation asks for new product portfolios that are balanced with respect to the innovativeness of its individual projects. Hence, firms need to proactively manage their portfolio innovativeness. Simultaneously, portfolio management (PM) literature suggests shifting emphasise from project selection towards governing the entire PM process. We therefore aim at explaining how portfolio-level innovativeness can be fostered by PM governance and how innovativeness in turn affects performance. Using dynamic capabilities theory, we propose a conceptual framework that postulates positive relationships between PM governance, innovativeness, and firm performance. We furthermore identified moderating effects of portfolio balance on the latter relation.
