Product innovation integrates technology, knowledge, management practices, and market innovation, making it essential to gain a competitive advantage. Effective management of dynamic knowledge, which is the foundation of and driving force for product innovation, is a powerful tool that allows a firm to successfully innovate, adapt to environmental changes, and improve its competitiveness. In the "nanosecond age," unlearning and learning in an organization is crucial to a firm's ability to promptly update its organizational knowledge and maintain innovation vitality. Based on the dynamic knowledge management perspective, this study integrates and constructs a theoretical model with environmental dynamism as the moderating variable, discusses the impact of organizational unlearning on product innovation performance, and empirically analyzes 208 valid questionnaires in the Yangtze River Delta using the multiple regression method. The results show that organizational unlearning shares a positive relationship with dynamic capabilities and product innovation performance. Dynamic capability is positively related to product innovation performance and has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between organizational unlearning and product innovation performance. Environmental dynamism shares a positive moderating effect on the relationship between organizational unlearning and product innovation performance. This study deepens the existing research on the factors that influence product innovation performance, which may help firms improve their dynamic knowledge management and product innovation performance.
产品创新整合了技术、知识、管理实践和市场创新，使其对于获得竞争优势至关重要。动态知识的有效管理是产品创新的基础和驱动力，是使企业能够成功创新、适应环境变化并提高竞争力的有力工具。在“纳秒时代”，组织中的忘却与学习对于企业及时更新组织知识和保持创新活力的能力至关重要。基于动态知识管理视角，本研究整合并构建了一个以环境动态性为调节变量的理论模型，探讨组织忘却对产品创新绩效的影响，并运用多元回归方法对长三角地区208份有效问卷进行实证分析。结果表明，组织忘却与动态能力和产品创新绩效呈正相关。动态能力与产品创新绩效呈正相关，且在组织忘却与产品创新绩效的关系中起部分中介作用。环境动态性在组织忘却与产品创新绩效的关系中起正向调节作用。本研究深化了现有关于影响产品创新绩效因素的研究，可能有助于企业提高其动态知识管理和产品创新绩效。
