“…Financial constraints can have an effect on how quickly a company adopts new products and market strategies as well as on the adoption of innovative practices and economic indicators. Because of this, the market cannot expand as quickly as it could Ahokangas et al (2021). SMEs may have financial constraints or capacities and organizational uncertainty, which may explain why a substantial relationship between market and economic techniques and novelty has not been located.…”

The information was gathered through a survey questionnaire that 313 people completed. Analyzing the model was accomplished through the use of SEM in this investigation. Management and staff at SMEs worldwide provided the study's data sources. Research shows that COVID-19 has a significantly bad influence on profitability, operational, economic, and access to finance. In the study's findings, outside funding aids have played an important role in SMEs' skill to persist and succeed through technological novelty than in their real output. SME businesses, administrations, and policymakers need to understand the implications of this study's results.

“…As a company grows, creativity becomes more essential because it has the ability to bring new ideas to bear in challenging situations (Crovini et al, 2021;Melnyk et al, 2021;Rakshit et al, 2021). Business intelligences will be able to create something new that attracts prospective customers as soon as they are capable of thinking beyond what is already accessible (Ahokangas et al, 2021;Andronikidis et al, 2021;Scuotto et al, 2021). As the capacity to create something new and suitable for a specific situation, both innovation and creativity are defined, they play an essential role in the creation of new companies as well as the survival of current ones operating on a worldwide level (Bodlaj & Čater, 2022;Canhoto et al, 2021;Cerchione et al, 2016).…”

“…External integration mechanisms, such as market knowledge acquisition, help firms capture and absorb ample knowledge from external market channels (Zhou and Li, 2012; Hameed et al , 2021). Internal integration mechanisms, such as knowledge sharing involved in horizontal knowledge dissemination and synthesis, influence firms’ potential for knowledge utilization and innovation (Zhou and Li, 2012; Ahokangas et al , 2021). In addition, knowledge integration is an interactive process between new and prior knowledge while concurrently introducing or incorporating new knowledge into the existing base (Venturini et al , 2019; Llopis et al , 2021; Ning and Guo, 2022).…”

Purpose Developing multigenerational products through iteration helps enterprises cope with environmental uncertainty and maintain lasting competitive advantages in a globally competitive environment. From the knowledge integration perspective, this study aims explore how enterprises achieve multigenerational product innovation. Design/methodology/approach An exploratory case study design is used to explore the multigenerational product innovation process. Findings This study proposes a model of the multigenerational product innovation process and shows that knowledge integration includes two important parts: the internalization of external knowledge and intergenerational knowledge integration. This study further conclude that multigenerational innovation has three main channels: rapid iteration, continuous reflection and coordination. Originality/value First, this study presents a theoretical model of the process of multigenerational product innovation, including triggers, knowledge integration, learning systems and outcomes, and further enhances our understanding from product innovation to multigenerational product innovation. Second, this study contributes to the literature on the multigenerational product innovation process by revealing the knowledge integration process of the internalization of external knowledge and intergenerational knowledge integration.
