知识积累、知识激活与创新能力关系研究

Abstract

Abstract: The relationship between knowledge and innovation always gains highly concerning. However, existing literature has paid more attention to the relationship between different knowledge and innovation performance than that between same knowledge and different sub-capability of innovation capabilities, which may be constructed according to micro-processes of a firm's innovation. This theoretical gap provides an opportunity for the present paper. A theoretical model is proposed and tested by hierarchical regression analysis, using data collected from 419 domestic firms. Results Show that knowledge accumulation is positive with innovation capabilities throughout all sub-processes of innovating. Different mechanisms of knowledge reactivation have different impacts on the relationship between knowledge accumulation and innovation capabilities. Finally, theoretical contribution, managerial implications and limitations are discussed.

Key words: knowledge accumulation, knowledge reactivation, innovation capabilities, organizational learning
