“…This supports the notion that KM is the key element in facilitating firms’ innovation and performance (Kamara et al , 2002). Effective KM systems should also be translated into innovation process, which helps small firms to compete (see, Kłos et al , 2017; Jardon, 2018).…”

Purpose This paper aims to discuss the mediating effects of innovation on the relationship between knowledge management and firm competitiveness. Design/methodology/approach A self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data from small construction firms in the Eastern Region of Peninsular Malaysia. Out of the 190 construction firms surveyed, 153 (80.5%) respondents returned their completed questionnaire. These were used for data analysis. The data were then analyzed using the covariance-based structural equation modeling (SEM). Findings Knowledge management had a direct and significant positive effect on firm competitiveness. Nonetheless, the effect of knowledge management on firm competitiveness was mediated by innovation. This indicates that knowledge management should be supported by technical and administrative innovations in the firm. Research limitations/implications The data collected were from a limited sample of construction firms. In addition, conducting a study on a region of Malaysia may limit the generalizability of the model. Practical implications While knowledge management is crucial for a firm’s competitiveness, technical and administrative innovations must be concurrently improved for a stronger firm competitiveness. This is especially true in terms of financial strength and core competence. Originality/value This paper provides some empirical evidence that technical and administrative innovations fully mediated the relationship between knowledge management and firm competitiveness. The results consolidate the resource-based view on the importance of internal resource and capability of the firm and improve KM research area. It also strengthens the view that KM is a critical factor for firm competitiveness, but a good KM without strong innovation will not increase the competitiveness of small construction firms.

How to enhance the competitiveness of manufacturing enterprises using innovation is an important topic in theory and practice. Data from the world input-output table and the Chinese industrial enterprise database are used to study the difference in the influence of service transformation and product innovation on enterprise competitiveness. The authors show that (1) both service transformation and product innovation contribute to enhancing enterprise competitiveness, but the former has a better effect, and this conclusion is still valid after replacing variables and controlling for endogeneity, and and (2) the “competitiveness effect” of service transformation and product innovation has strong heterogeneity in urban administrative levels, GVC embedding location, and enterprise ownership. (3) As two different innovation methods, service transformation and product innovation have synergistic and balanced effects.

“…Their analysis allowed us to consider the following problems of this article. In this paper (Kłos, Skrzypek, & Dabrowski, 2017) is proposed a model for a knowledge-management system for innovation-processes improvement and enterprise-strategy development. The system is aimed at small and medium-sized manufacturing or service companies.…”
