“…Recently, Fenech and Tellis [22] addressed the metrics, patterns, drivers, and predictive models of the dive and disruption of an existing product. Santoro et al [23] investigated the relationship between a knowledge management system, open innovation, knowledge management capacity, and innovation capacity. Vecchiato [24] examined the relationship between managerial beliefs and the search processes for emerging markets, and found that in changing industries, the influence of prior history often increased the difficulty that decision-makers faced when seeking to respond to new events, and this difficulty then often resulted in organizational inertia and poor performance.…”

Abstract:Disruptive innovation has created a significant impact on management practices and academia. This study investigated the impact of existing knowledge assets on disruptive innovation by analyzing the role of knowledge embeddedness and specificity. We conducted a hierarchical regression analysis by using survey data from 173 Chinese industrial firms to test the direct and indirect effects of knowledge embeddedness and specificity on disruptive innovation, which can be divided into outward-oriented and internal-oriented disruptive innovation. The results indicated that knowledge embeddedness not only played a positive role in knowledge specificity, but also had a positive effect on outward-oriented disruptive innovation. Furthermore, knowledge specificity exhibited opposite functions in outward-oriented and internal-oriented disruptive innovation. In addition, knowledge specificity mediated the relationship between knowledge embeddedness and outward-oriented (internal-oriented) disruptive innovation.

This study aims to shed light on the elements that can influence the performance of green businesses, more specifically organizations active within the recycling business.After defining and identifying green businesses, the paper focuses on the Italian recycling business, examining whether the green practices and features of a green business can influence the organization's performance. Using a quantitative methodology with a sample of 87 Italian organizations whose core business is recycling and applying a model of multiple linear regression, the findings highlight several variables that affect the economic results. The originality of this study lies in the link between green practices and green businesses, exploring which structures are efficient and are driving elements of these recycling organizations. These findings offer several contributions to theory and practice and for policymakers.

“…La (GC) se refiere a gestionar los procesos de una organización para aprovechar el conocimiento colectivo de la empresa, para lograr su sostenibilidad, mejorar la innovación y la capacidad de respuesta a los cambios del medio. La GC es reconocida como clave en las empresas y un proceso necesario para lograr ventaja competitiva dada la dificultad de imitación, desde la capacidad de la empresa para aplicar los conocimientos existentes y nuevos para crear nuevos productos y procesos (Santoro et al, 2018;Wingate, Smith, y Perk, 2018).…”

ResumenEl objetivo de este artículo es presentar los hallazgos relacionados con establecer los obstáculos que dificultan la transferencia de conocimiento de parte de los centros e institutos de investigación de la región triángulo del café de Colombia. Dicha valoración se realizó con un modelo de evaluación de transferencia de conocimiento, el cual se validó y aplicó a 24 centros e institutos de investigación de dicha región. Para el efecto se consideró un estudio de tipo descriptivo exploratorio y correlacional. Los resultados indican que los obstáculos para una efectiva transferencia de conocimiento se relacionan con la falta de una cultura organizacional que permita la transferencia, con el desconocimiento de convocatorias de proyectos, con los demasiados procesos organizacionales requeridos, y con la falta de uso de tecnologías de información. Palabras AbstractThe objective of this article is to present the findings related to establishing the obstacles that hinder the transfer of knowledge from the research centers and institutes of the coffee triangle region of Colombia. This assessment was carried out with a knowledge transfer evaluation model, which was validated and applied to 24 research centers and institutes in that region. For this purpose, an exploratory and correlative descriptive study was considered. The results indicate that the obstacles to an effective knowledge transfer are related with the lack of an organizational culture that allows the transfer, with the ignorance of calls for projects, with the too many required organizational processes, and with the lack of use of information technologies.
