Evaluating firm technological innovation capability under uncertainty

Innovation Capacity Evaluation Framework for Sustainable Value Chains

“…The topic has already attracted interest from a number of scholars (e.g. Wang, Lu & Chen, 2008;Yam, Lo, Tang & Lau, 2011), but despite these important advances there is still a lack of consensus in the literature and a pressing need to clarify what type of resources and capabilities drive innovation in different contexts (Lidija & Robert, 2014), and how these capabilities are developed and utilized .…”

“…However, the core innovation assets (a set of R&D, manufacturing and marketing assets) alone did not lead to sustainable export growth. There are also studies of technology and innovation capabilities (Yam et al, 2004;Wang et al, 2008), focusing on how firms cope with uncertainty. Several studies focus on innovation capabilities in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).…”

An Examination and Critique of the Use of Knowledge Management in Achieving and Sustaining Competitive Advantage in Business

Although innovation is "no longer a differential" but it makes the "continuity of businesses" (Mitchell & Coles, 2003;Wang, et al, 2008;Forsman, 2011;Hana, 2013;Mihić, et al, 2015). Some studies show that the organizations should gain the external knowledge as this is correlated to innovation capabilities (Massa & Testa, 2004;Svetina & Prodan, 2009;Zaied et al, 2015).…”
