Abstract: The purpose of this article is to examine the phenomenon of innovation generation in a firm's upstream and downstream business relationships. The study considers the role of knowledge redundancy and relational embeddedness on the generation of radical and incremental innovations. The study further considers the moderating role of complexity and globalization on the link between the independent variables and innovation generation. By deriving several theoretically sound and managerially useful propositions, this research advances knowledge in the business-to-business and innovation generation domains and offers insights for managerial practice.
