Isabel Martinez-Conesa, Pedro Soto‐Acosta, Elias G. Carayannis · 2017 · Journal of Knowledge Management

Summary. This study examines how small and medium-sized enterprises develop open innovation capabilities. The research finds that IT-supported operations and human resource practices strengthen knowledge management capability, which in turn drives open innovation. Environmental dynamism also directly influences open innovation adoption. Interdepartmental connectedness alone does not significantly affect knowledge management capability.
