Especially, Weerawardena and Mavondo (2011) suggested that "all types of innovation contribute to a firm's competitive advantages", few researches consider the specific effects of innovation on two kinds of competitive advantages (Nguyen et al, 2019). So this study proposes two more hypotheses (see Figure 1).…”

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of knowledge sharing (KS) and two specific types of innovation on competitive advantage in Vietnamese firms. Based on using structural equation modeling (SEM) and survey data collected from 225 participants, the findings reveal that KS directly and indirectly affects firm's competitive advantage through the mediating role of innovation speed and innovation quality. The findings stress the important role of building a positive climate to stimulate employees for sharing knowledge aimed at improving firm's innovation capability, and sustaining competitive advantage. Future research needs to explore the relationship between three components of knowledge management namely knowledge acquisition, KS, and knowledge application, innovation, and specific aspects of competitive advantage (such as low cost advantage, differentiation advantage, and time advantage) to provide deeper the mechanism of how specifics aspects of knowledge management connected with firm's certain types of competitive advantage through innovation.

Purpose - Leadership plays a decisive role in key organizational outcomes. To investigate the effects of leadership and its mechanism on organizational performance, this paper examined how transformational leadership impacts followers’ trust for improving operational and financial performance in the case of Vietnamese firms. Design/Methodology - This study used the Structural Equation Modeling to assess the correlation among the constructs based on using survey data of 285 employees at 60 manufacturing and service companies. Findings - The findings revealed that employees' trust in leadership acts as a mediating mechanism in the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational performance. The transformational leadership style of leaders has greater effects on financial performance, while employee’s trust has larger effects on operational performance. This study calls attention to the importance of raising employee trust to link transformational leadership and organizational performance. Practical and theoretical implications - From a practical point of view, the paper brings more knowledge and insights for CEO/managers on the right pathway to enhance organizational performance. The paper also provides theoretical initiatives on the leadership theory and the new pathway to promote operational and financial performance.

Given the key role of organizational factors for improving firm’s innovation capability, the purpose of this study is to explore the level of influence of organizational factors namely transformational leadership (TL), human resource management (HRM) practice and collaborative culture on two aspects of organizational innovation capability namely product and process innovation. The paper has developed a proposal research model and applied Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test research hypotheses using data collected from 168 participants in 51 Vietnamese firms. The findings of this study confirm the significant impacts of key organizational factors on firm’s capabilities for product and process innovation. Especially, the empirical findings reveal that TL has a greater impact on process innovation. In contrast, collaborative culture has more significant influence on product innovation. The findings of this study have significantly contributed to increasing the insight of the link between key organizational factors and specific aspects of innovation capability. Moreover, it provides a specific and effective pathway for Vietnamese firms to pursuit and foster each specific aspect of organizational capability for innovation. Keywords: Transformational Leadership, HRM Practice, Collaborative Culture, Product Innovation, Process Innovation, Innovation Capability
