Abstract
This study proposes a novel theoretical framework for studying different perspectives on knowledge diversity and creativity, including both the benefits and costs of knowledge searching across different fields of expertise. Data on 1,340 tourism scholars over 31 years show a consistent horizontal S-shaped relationship between knowledge diversity and creativity. Furthermore, tourism scholars who invested more effort in maintaining good relationships with partners, such as through network ties, achieved greater profitability gains from cooperation diversification strategies and scholar creativity. Our framework and findings highlight the complexity and temporal dynamics among tourism cooperation networks.
