The purpose of this paper is to exhibit the mediation and moderation influence of organizational motivation and organization characteristics between intellectual capital and innovation capability of the textile and apparel industry in Sri Lanka. The shift of the traditional tangible assets toward more subtle forms of intellectual capital creates a crucial factor for the achievement of innovation capability and competitive advantage. In this study area, previous works have exclusively focused on the co-alignment between intellectual capital and innovation capability as compelled to deliver competitive advantage. The random sampling technique and structured questionnaires were administrated as a research instrument to collect the data. The results demonstrated that intellectual capital has a significant positive relationship on innovation capability with mediated and moderated effects. The findings of this research will be useful for the textile and apparel industry to understand and apply intellectual capital to create innovation capability in their organizations.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to analyze the impact of different organizational enablers – i.e. ‘structural capital’ – on the ideation stage of innovation processes from an ‘intellectual capital’ (IC) perspective. Considering company size as one of the most relevant contingent variables as regards organizational conditions, the moderator role of this variable is also examined. To gather information about the variables under study, a questionnaire has been designed and addressed to the CEOs of a set of 142 Spanish manufacturing firms with more than 50 employees and which carry out R&D activities. Structural equation modelling (SEM) based on partial least squares (PLS) has then been applied in order to test the hypotheses drawn from the research. The results obtained show the organizational components which exert the greatest impact on the ideation phase and, therefore, the priority aspects to work on, in order to enhance this particular dimension of the innovation capability.

Unit penelitian ini adalah usaha mikro, kecil dan menengah (UMKM) yang beroperasi pada salah satu dari sub-sektor industri kreatif dan terletak di Bandung, Denpsar, Jakarta atau Yogyakarta. Dengan analisis kuantitatif, penelitian ini melihat hubungan antara variabel independen dan dependen melalui tes hipotesis menggunakan metode ordinary least square. Metode pertanyaan terbuka digunakan untuk melihat pola pengembangan bisnis kreatif responden. Hasil dari penelitian ini menemukan bahwa orientasi pelanggan dan orientasi biaya memiliki hubungan positif terhadap kemampuan inovasi berdasarkan jasa. Sedangkan, orientasi pesaing tidak memiliki hubungan yang siginifikan terhadap kemampuan inovasi berbasis layanan. Dari penelitian ini, dapat disimpulkan bahwa pelaku usaha (dalam hal ini UMKM) memiliki fokus pada konsumen dan efisiensi biaya yang pada akhirnya akan membentuk budaya inovasi yang sesuai dengan lingkungan bisnis mereka.Creative industry is becoming competitive advantages to Indonesia.

Object of this study was Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) that operates in one of creative subsector industry and located at in Bandung, Denpasar, Jakarta or Yogyakarta. By using quantitative analysis, this study analyzed the relationship between independent and dependent variables through testing hypotheses using ordinary least square method. Open question method also used to show the pattern of creative business development from owners point of viewt. The result of this study found customer orientation and cost orientation positively related to service innovation capability. While, competitor orientation shows not have significant relationship to service innovation capability.

Design Bid Build

Traditionally, construction has been a transaction-oriented industry. However, it is changing from the design–bid–build process into a business based on innovation capability and performance management, in which contracts are awarded on the basis of factors such as knowledge, intellectual capital and skills. This change presents a challenge to construction-sector SMEs with scarce resources, which must find ways to innovate based on those attributes to ensure their future competitiveness. This paper explores how dynamic capability, using an absorptive capacity framework in response to these challenges, has been developed in a construction-based SME. The paper also contributes to the literature on absorptive capacity and innovation by showing how the construct can be operationalized within an organization. The company studied formed a Knowledge Transfer Partnership using action research over a two-year period with a local university. The aim was to increase its absorptive capacity and hence its ability to meet the changing market challenges. The findings show that absorptive capacity can be operationalized into a change management approach for improving capability-based competitiveness. Moreover, it is important for absorptive capacity constructs and language to be contextualized within a given organizational setting (as in the case of the construction-based SME in the present study).
