Knowledge management and organizational learning to improve the organizational performance of mines in Indonesia

The mining sector faces a complex dilemma as an economic development agent through social upliftment in places where mining corporations operate. Resource extraction is destructive and non-renewable, making it dirty and unsustainable. To ensure corporate sustainability, this paper examines the effects of knowledge management (KM), organizational learning (OL), and innovation capability (IC) on Indonesian coal mining’s organizational performance (OP). We used factor and path analysis to examine the relationships between the above constructs. After forming a conceptual model, principal component analysis validated the factor structure of a collection of observed variables. Path analysis examined the theories. The hypothesized framework was confirmed, indicating a positive association between constructs. However, due to mining industry peculiarities, IC does not affect organizational performance (OP). This study supports the importance of utilizing people and their relevant skills to improve operational performance. The findings have implications for managers of coal mining enterprises, as they suggest that KM and OL are critical drivers of OP. Managers should focus on creating an environment that facilitates knowledge sharing and learning, as this will help improve their organizations’ performance.

Analyzing the mechanism of strategic orientation towards digitization and organizational performance settings enduring employee resistance to innovation and performance capabilities.

Resistance to innovation is a behavioral barrier to implementing innovation in any organization. It is associated with employees’ demotivation to adopt new technologies. Strategic orientation toward digitalization is a new dimension in shaping innovative organizational performance. It is also evident from past studies that certain employees’ capabilities are associated with organizations’ strategic orientation when undergoing digitalization. This study examines the relationship between these factors and achieving innovative organizational performance. First, it looks at how strategic orientation toward digitalization relates to digital capabilities, which include digital knowledge and innovation. This study also examines how capabilities affect strategic orientation toward digitalization and innovative organizational performance. Moreover, the negatively regulating role of resistance to innovation as a moderator is also tested between capabilities and innovative organizational performance in this research. The authors discovered a connection between strategic orientation towards digitalization and innovative organizational performance in their research. A Likert scale with five points was used to quantify the responses, and the points ranged from 1 to 5 on the scale, with one being strongly disagreed and five strongly agreed. The findings of the study also show that digital knowledge capability and innovation capability have a substantial impact on innovative organizational performance. The research also discovered that employees’ resistance to innovation exerts a sizeable moderating influence on the connection between digital knowledge competence and innovation capability within the innovative organizational performance. The study’s results show that businesses must have a strategic focus on digitalization if they want to improve their ability to come up with new ideas and their digital knowledge skills, which are both critical for the growth of the entrepreneurial system. The model that has been proposed is available to entrepreneurs so that they can apply it in their businesses to advance the entrepreneurial system appropriately. The authors present a theoretical model for entrepreneurial systems based on the strategic orientation towards the digitalization approach. This model is something that entrepreneurs could utilize to improve the performance of their organizations as a whole. In addition, the employee’s resistance to innovation is used as a moderator in the model, which is another innovative method. The research contributes new and essential information to the existing literature on innovative organizational performance.

The Knowledge Service Model of Technology-Based SMEs from the Perspective of Value Cocreation

China’s economy has shifted from the stage of high-speed growth to the stage of high-quality development, and enterprises are facing increasingly complex conditions in the rapidly changing environment. In the process of transformation from “production value growth” to “value-driven”, knowledge service plays an important role, which can both increase knowledge innovation capability and export heterogeneous knowledge to the outside world. Under such circumstances, it is necessary to focus on cultivating the capability of knowledge services from the perspective of value cocreation. Starting from this concept, the temporal pattern of data is explored in terms of time span; the service mode of knowledge service to its customers is explored in terms of spatial interaction, and the framework of knowledge service is explored in terms of content structure. It is found that (1) there are five knowledge service models for science and technology-based SMEs, and there exists an efficient service combination of “online+offline”; (2) customers can basically be divided into three categories: passive, active, and neglected. (3) The value cocreation path of knowledge services for science and technology-based SMEs is divided into initial stage-interaction stage-implementation stage; “two-way identification”-“joint participation”-“win-win value” knowledge service value cocreation model.

Research on the Strategy Evolution of Knowledge Innovation in an Enterprise Digital Innovation Ecosystem: Kinetic and Potential Perspectives

With digital technology becoming increasingly mature, the conditions and strategies for innovation subjects to participate in knowledge innovation in enterprise digital innovation ecosystems are being studied. Based on the evolutionary game theory of bounded rationality, this paper constructs an evolutionary game model with a core enterprise, an academic and research institution and an information intermediary as the game subjects, taking the knowledge innovation relationship of the core enterprise as the hypothesis. Combined with simulation analysis, the influence of knowledge innovation subsidies, knowledge absorption and knowledge assimilation on the coordinated innovation strategy of knowledge innovation groups in the game system are discussed. The conclusions are as follows: (1) As the guide to knowledge innovation in digital innovation ecosystems, the core enterprise has the highest knowledge potential, and its innovation strategies directly affect the internal kinetic energy of knowledge innovation in the system; (2) knowledge assimilation capacity and knowledge absorption capacity are positively correlated with the knowledge potential energy of innovation subjects and with the knowledge innovation kinetic energy of the system; and (3) the subsidies provided by the core enterprise significantly enhance the enthusiasm of the academic and research institution and information intermediary to participate in knowledge innovation, but excessive innovation subsidies may lead to opportunism and free-riding and then to “pseudocooperation” within the system. Therefore, the core enterprise should introduce a punishment mechanism. Finally, some suggestions are provided to improve the benign interaction and cooperative evolution of knowledge innovation capability between digital innovation ecosystems and innovation subjects.

A Distinct Type of Online Group for Customer Knowledge Innovation: The Virtual Product User Community

Abstract Among online communities of customers there are a number of different types of group that need to be distinguished. One interesting type are virtual product user communities, i.e. company sponsored online forums where product users share usage experience and collaboratively construct new knowledge to solve technical problems. The purpose of this paper is to show that these “virtual product user communities” are a distinct type of customer group with knowledge innovation capability. The research adopts a method combining observation and content analysis of discussion threads where technical problems are solved, complemented by thematic analysis of interviews with forum members to explore its character, especially its knowledge related attributes. The paper confirms empirically that the virtual product user community is a distinct type of virtual community and can be differentiated from other virtual communities of consumers. In addition, an enhanced classification framework, extending Porter’s (2004) classic 5Ps model, is proposed to highlight knowledge-related activities in virtual communities. Of particular interest is that the findings suggest that knowledge-related activities should be considered as an important attribute in defining and classifying virtual communities. In terms of practical implications, it is recommended that the virtual product user community should be given appropriate support from top management in order to fully exploit its knowledge innovation value. Moreover, tailored facilitation strategies to promote knowledge construction activities and community development can be developed in accordance with its unique attributes. The paper precisely distinguishes one specific type of innovative virtual community consisting of product users from other online customer communities. Moreover, it outlines a revised virtual community classification framework, which can be widely applied in analysing features of online groups. Its key attribute of knowledge-related activity redirects attention to virtual communities’ knowledge innovation capabilities.

Also. the relationship between innovation capabilities and OP has not been adequately studied. Hence, this study introduces a conceptual framework which integrates KMP, IC and OP and simultaneously empirically tests the relationships among them.

The effects of knowledge transfer on innovation capability: A moderated mediation model of absorptive capability and network reliance

Knowledge transfer is one of the most important aspects of improving the enterprise's innovation capability. This study investigates the internal mechanism through which knowledge transfer affects innovation capability. To reveal this internal mechanism, we propose a moderated mediation model of absorptive capability and network reliance. Using survey data from 218 managers in China, structural equation modeling is used to investigate mediation and moderation effects. The results show that absorptive capability positively mediates the relationship between knowledge transfer and innovation capability. Moreover, network reliance positively moderates not only the relationship between absorptive capability and innovation capability but also the overall mediation model. This demonstrates that individuals with high network reliance have higher innovation capability when they have accumulated enough business knowledge. Based on these findings, we conclude that innovation capability may be promoted more effectively through the complex process of knowledge transfer, absorptive capability, and network reliance.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONDITIONS OF KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT AND INNOVATION CAPABILITY IN NEW TECHNOLOGY-BASED FIRMS

Successfully developing a new product, service or production process for commercial purposes involves complex and dynamic changes, and therefore requires conditions of knowledge management that fosters innovation.

The techniques used for the statistical analysis were carried out in three sequences, namely, the first consists in collecting validity evidence based on test content; the second in an exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis to gather validity evidence based on internal structure; and third, estimate the test reliability of internal consistency through omega coefficient.FindingsThe results obtained show that the proposed measurement scale complies with the psychometrics properties required for a measurement instrument in social sciences.Originality/valueThe model of measurement scale, including three important constructs for firms, namely, conditions of knowledge management, innovation capability and firm performance, were not tested before for NTBFs. In this way, the present study contributes to the business sector. Finally, this scale can be useful to measure the variables studied in NTBFs of other countries, considering strategic purpose, flexible structure, information and communications technology and internal environment as internal conditions, and, as an external condition, the competitive environment, as conditions of knowledge management; exploration, exploitation and organizational ambidexterity as elements of innovation capability; and the non-economic performance and economic performance as one-dimensional structures.

The Transition of Samsung Electronics through Its M&A with Harman International

The automobile industry is experiencing unprecedented change. Despite its century-old history based mostly in the art of mechanics, increased development of technology and heightened awareness of environmental issues has pushed traditional automobile manufacturers to completely re-examine their strategies. It has also newly invited nontraditional players such as electronic and IT tycoons namely, Samsung, Google, and Apple into the game. The advent of electric cars with cutting edge technology requires active participation and collaboration from diverse industries requiring cross-over joint ventures and M&As. In this light, the recent acquisition of Harman Incorporated for eight billion dollars by Samsung Electronics in 2016 is a significant event that signals great change. As the electronics tycoon expands its boundaries preparing to become an important player in the automobile industry, this study examines how Samsung increases and integrates its knowledge base and innovation capability through the M&A deal with Harman in attempts to enhance its competitiveness in the rapidly evolving automotive market.

Evaluating the role of social capital, tacit knowledge sharing, knowledge quality and reciprocity in determining innovation capability of an organization

PurposeKnowledge sharing has become an integral part of organizations’ business strategies, along with aiding organizations to grow and innovate in the market, and gain competitive advantage. This paper aims to concentrate on the role of tacit knowledge sharing in fostering innovation capability of an organization. Specifically, the study considers social capital (relational, cognitive and structural) as an important precursors to tacit knowledge sharing, which in turn, influences innovation capability of an organization. The study further discusses the role that knowledge reciprocation plays in successful tacit knowledge sharing. The relation between knowledge quality and innovation capability is also discussed in the paper.Design/methodology/approachThe investigation started with a review of extant literature in the field of knowledge sharing and innovation to derive a set of constructs. A set of hypotheses was developed based on the identified constructs, which was subsequently validated through a primary survey based on a structured questionnaire on a sample size of 190 respondents from the Indian industrial domain. The survey responses were subsequently analysed using the statistical technique of structural equation modeling and conclusions were drawn from the findings. Additionally, careful attention was paid in eliminating the common method bias, which is often associated with a primary survey.FindingsA set of six hypotheses were derived based on the identified constructs and were subsequently validated. While validating the hypotheses, it was observed that while knowledge reciprocity, relational social capital and cognitive social capital was positive associated with tacit knowledge sharing, structural social capital did not have a significant effect on the same. Additionally, it was also observed that both tacit knowledge sharing and the quality of knowledge were positively associated with innovation capability.Practical implicationsThe present day business marked by intense competition requires firms to be more aware of their innovative capabilities. Effective sharing of knowledge or information can be deemed as a vital component in achieving this objective. Organizations that practice and nurture innovation activities can use the findings of the current study as a part of their knowledge management strategy. In addition to using the explicit knowledge, which are structured in nature, organizations can also start using tacit knowledge to harness their innovation potential – and the findings from the current study can act as a motivational tool for them to do so.Originality/valueAlthough there is a growing body of literature concerning the role of knowledge management in innovation, there still a dearth in discussing the role of tacit knowledge sharing in exploiting the innovation capability of an organization. The main discussion of this paper brings together a set of important constructs that exhibits the significant role that tacit knowledge sharing plays in determining the innovation capability of an organization. Furthermore, it tries to marry the concepts of social capital and tacit knowledge sharing with innovation capability, therefore adding significantly to the body of literature in knowledge management as well as innovation.

Knowledge sharing in supply chain networks: Effects of collaborative innovation activities and capability on innovation performance

Building on knowledge management and innovation capability theories, this paper aims to reveal the mechanisms of collaborative innovation processes by investigating the complex relationships among critical factors influencing firm's innovation performance in supply chain networks. Using hierarchical Multiple Regression (MR) and Moderated Multiple Regression (MMR) methods, results from a survey of 236 firms in China indicated that there are significant positive relationships between collaborative innovation activities, knowledge sharing, collaborative innovation capability, and firm's innovation performance. Moreover, it is expected that knowledge sharing plays a partial mediating role in the relationships between collaborative innovation activities and firm's innovation performance. Collaborative innovation capability exhibited a moderating effect on collaborative innovation activities - innovation performance relationship. These results contribute to collaborative innovation process management by offering a nuanced conceptualization of the collaborative innovation - performance relationship in supply chain networks.
