Enhancing knowledge management for R&D innovation and firm performance: An integrative view
نویسندگان
چکیده
Previous researches have examined the relationships among variables such as knowledge management (KM), innovation and performance. However, most empirical studies have investigated the relationships among these variables in isolation. A gap thus exists in the literature and to fill this gap, the current study develops a research model that links these variables. The model establishes the relationships among KM capability, research and development (R&D) innovation and firm performance. The findings suggest that CEOs should manage knowledge-based resource and assess whether the firm has the KM capability to create, maintain and exploit the knowledge-based synergies for superior innovation of R&D departments.
