Abstract
Focusing on knowledge management activities, this study examines the roles of knowledge management in the reduction of new product development cycle time and the moderating role of innovation-technology fit in the relationship. I found that knowledge management plays significant roles in improving the performance of new product development. In particular, the results suggest that the speed of knowledge acquisition and the availability of knowledge dissemination facilities affect the cycle time and new product development and, thus, contribute to the improvement of financial performance. Innovation-technology significantly moderates the negative impact of speed on performance. A theoretical explanation is discussed.
