N2 - Drawing on upper echelon theory, this study examines the linkage of top management team (TMT) conflict to exploratory innovation and the mediating impact of market orientation (MO) on the linkage. It finds that cognitive conflict in TMTs positively affects exploratory innovation, while affective conflict has a negative effect. Moreover, MO is a critical conduit through which TMT conflict plays its role in exploratory innovation. These findings advance our knowledge on the antecedents of exploratory innovation, improve our understanding about the linkage of TMT conflict to innovation, and identify additional antecedents and consequences for MO.
