| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to empirically validate a link between the three aspects of
knowledge management (KM) to three aspects of innovation capability. Knowledge
production, transformation, and knowledge diffusion are the three components of knowledge
management. Product innovation, technological innovation, and industry chain cooperation are
the three types of innovations which apply to the innovation ecosystem. Using social media and
e-mail channels WeChat and QQ, the study collected data from 404 samples. They represent a
range of the industry characteristics in the innovative ecosystems of China: leadership role, job
title, career age, business establishment years, number of staff engaged in technology and R&D,
current stage of business development, industry location, and type of business. Structural
equation modeling (SEM) produced support for the proposed theoretical concepts which link
KM to innovation. It is believed that this study is the first to investigate how KM supports
innovation within the innovation ecosystems in China. | en_US |
