Moreover, high
homogeneity can also aid the team in internalizing common
knowledge and enhancing the creative product (Nonaka and
Takeuchi, 1995). Another benefi t of high homogeneity comes
from increased effi ciency resulting from knowledge similarity
as team members learn from each other, share common
codes, and improve on the processes of joint tasks.
Like us, Rodan and Galunic (2004) showed independent effects
of structural holes and content diversity (alters’ knowledge
heterogeneity) on innovation performance. Our results differ
from theirs, however, in terms of the positive relationship they
found between alters’ content diversity and performance,
which supports the reasoning of structural holes, while our
fi nding appears to counter it. A possible explanation for this
result is that we investigate the redundancy of the network at
the team level of analysis, where factors such as effi ciency and
routines, rather than the heterogeneity of knowledge, may be
exerting stronger infl uences on performance.
