Though innovation strategy and organizational learning have been credited to impact on product innovation performance, they have been rarely considered in a single model simultaneously. Thus, the main aim of the paper is to investigate the extent of impact of innovation strategy on organizational learning and product innovation performance. A structural equation modelling analysis was performed on the survey data collected from Ethiopian textile and leather product manufacturing firms. The result reveals that innovation strategy is positively related to product innovation performance. Further, firm size and ownership type moderate the effect of innovation strategy on product innovation performance. OPSOMMING Alhoewel daar erkenword dat innovasiestrategie en organisatoriese-leer produkinnovasievertoning beïnvloed, word dit selde gelyktydig in 'n enkele model oorweeg. Die doel van die artikel is dus om die invloedsbereik van innovasiestrategie op organisatoriese-leer en produkinnovasievertoning te ondersoek. 'n Strukturelevergelykingsmodellering analise is op opname data van 'n Etiopiese tekstiel-en leerproduk vervaardigers gedoen. Die resultaat toon dat innovasiestrategie positief verwant is aan produkinnovasiesvertoning. Verder is daar gevind dat maatskappy grootte en eienaarskaptipe die invloed van innovasiestrategie op produkinnovasievertoning matig.

Using formal survey data from textile and leather product manufacturing firms in Ethiopia, we investigate how the current national cultural setup (power distance, collectivism, masculinity and uncertainty avoidance) is affecting organizational learning, orientation and product innovation performance. Further, we assess the moderating role of sector and ownership structure on the interrelationship. The result demonstrates that the current national culture setup is negatively affecting the learning and innovation activities of the firms in the country. It also shows that while sector type is neutral, ownership type significantly affects the interrelationship among culture, learning orientation and product innovation performance. OPSOMMINGDeur die gebruik van peilingdata van tekstiel-en leerproduk vervaardigers in Etiopië word die invloed van die huidige nasionale kulturele milieu (dit sluit die afstand tot krag, kollektivisme, manlikheid en onsekerheidsvermyding) op die organisatoriese leer, oriëntasie en produkinnovasie bestudeer. Verder word die matigende rol van sektortipe en eienaarskapstruktuur op die onderlinge verhoudinge beoordeel. Die resultaat toon dat die huidige nasionale kulturele milieu die leer-en innovasieaktiwiteite negatief beïnvloed. Dit toon ook dat, terwyl die sektortipe nie 'n noemenswaardige invloed het nie, die eienaarskapstruktuur die onderlinge verhouding tussen kultuur, leeroriëntasie en produkinnovasie daadwerklik beïnvloed. INTRODUCTIONIn this era of globalisation, a firm's profitability and survival in the international market is entirely dependent on continuous innovation [1]. In every economy, organisations are being forced -by intense competition, technological change, and much-reduced product lifecycles -to look for new and better ways of doing business. The generation and development of new marketable products has long been considered a key strategic advantage for an organisation's survival and its ability to outperform its competition. However, according to Martin de Castro [2], continuous innovation is impossible without a deliberate and continuous commitment to organisational learning. The effective generation, development, and commercialisation of new products is possible only if firms acquire, interpret and disseminate reliable customer, competitor and technology-related information.From the perspective of contingency theory, the role of socio-economic and socio-cultural factors in the business operations of organisations has attracted the attention of managers and academics [3]. Consequently, the role of a country's cultural factors in the learning and innovation activity of the manufacturing firms operating within it has been the focus of much research ([4, 5]). A national culture is a collective mindset that reflects the behaviour, attitudes and norms of a society and influences the perceptions, expectations, and motivation of its members [6,7].

The online store credit rating is a reflection of the seller's integrity and the quality of the product. The level of the credit rating directly affects the buyer's desire to purchase. Two important factors affecting the credit rating are data and models. The innovation of this research is that the collected data comes from the second evaluation, and the credit evaluation model is improved based on the snowNLP tool, and the malicious brushing filtering function is added. Compared with the credit evaluation system commonly used in current online stores, the evaluation results of the paper are more accurate, detailed and intuitive, and may effectively reduce false brushing and threat review.

Thanks to a number of positive factors benefiting a favorable investment climate in the People’s Republic of China, the Russian investors keep on exporting capitals and hi-technologies to this country and creating a number of companies and businesses, including enterprises, specialized in manufacturing power and energy products. In this paper we analyzed the relevant literature and compared managerial models at Chinese enterprises with those in China managed by the Russian based on well-established theories related to adopting foreign management at the enterprises in China. In the empirical study we concentrated on certain problems emerging at the enterprises where the Russian managers have been present and involved actively in the decision-making. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a preliminary analysis through the eyes of both Russian and Chinese specialists.

The paper researches the using frequency of Continuous Improvement’s measure and the effect on enterprises, performance. With the continuing changes of the society, the enterprises are facing more and more uncertainty and unpredictability. As a continuously incremental process of enterprise’s level innovation capability, Continuous Improvement has become an important strategy to maintain the manufacturing competitiveness of the enterprises. Choosing the suitable measures is the key of Continuous Improvement. On the basis of international investigation of Continuous Improvement, the paper analyzes the using frequency of Continuous Improvement’s measure and makes a comparison of Chinese, Australian and European enterprises. The results show that foreign enterprises pay more attention to standardized process than Chinese enterprises. Through the analysis of the relationship between Continuous Improvement’s measure and Continuous Improvement’s performance, the results show that standardized process has a big effect on Continuous Improvement’s measure. On the basis of these researches, the paper thinks that Chinese enterprises should increase the understanding and application of standardized process when Chinese enterprises carry out Continuous Improvement.
