Organizacinių gebėjimų ir individualių kompetencijų atvirosioms inovacijoms sąveika inovacijų pažangai smulkiojo ir vidutinio verslo organizacijose

Abstract

Open innovation serves as a principal paradigm for success in diverse and dynamic business environments, as it gives the promise of a better-marked acceptance, a higher level of novelty, and managed innovation risks. However, SMEs face a critical challenge in developing open innovation capabilities and establishing new organizational processes that would empower employees to perform in open innovation regimes. We analyze the mediating role of organizational capabilities for employing and facilitating individual competences for innovation performance improvement as based on a survey of 266 SMEs. This study aimed to identify links between organizational capabilities and individual comp etences in AI for innovation performance in SMEs. The results of our study showed that organizational capabilities in AI at the level of organizations play a role as a mediator between competences for AI at the individual level and the progress of innovations. Considering that organizational skills in AI (organizational culture openness, organizational learning and trust, knowledge management systems, etc.) are strong organizational tools that help to increase the efficiency of AI and individual competences (to enhance employee creativity, enhance interaction with partners) as well as management competences (flexibility, ability to work with various professional communities, strategic thinking, etc.). This study partially refutes the assumptions that SMEs can only achieve innovative progress through individual competences in AI. Organizational capabilities in AI are also very important for AI implementation.

Competency and Innovation on Street Vendors

“…This study reveals the impact of competency processes on innovation capabilities. The survey results show that competency in street vendors can increase innovation and support research (Ng & Kee, 2018;Sungkawati, 2019;Tosida et al, 2020;Pranciulyte-Bagdžiuniene & Petraite, 2019). Strengthened by research results (Ibidunni et al, 2021;Pranowo et al, 2020) found that competence influences innovation.…”

“…Some street vendors have succeeded in improving their performance because they have the competence to innovate by making a difference with other street vendors, such as differences in service, process and product quality (Gazali, 2020). Previous studies were rare and limited in discussing the effect of street vendor competence on innovation (Ng and Kee, 2018;Pranciulyte-Bagdžiuniene and Petraite, 2019;Sungkawati, 2019;Tosida et al, 2020). Innovating requires competence (Ibidunni et al, 2021;Pranowo et al, 2020).…”
