<p><strong>Purpose</strong>–This study aims to explore the impact of Knowledge Management Capabilities (KMC), captured by six dimensions, on product innovation in Information Technology (IT) Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs).</p><p><strong>Design/methodology/approach</strong>– Survey data were collected from 300 managers in (45) IT SMEs located in Jordan. SPSS was employed to analyze the data.</p><p><strong>Findings</strong>–Two key findings emerged: first, among the six dimensions of KMC, only acquisition, sharing, application, and protection were found to be positively associated with products innovation, whereas knowledge creation and storing were not. Second, no significant differences were identified in employees' answers due to company size.</p><p><strong>Research limitations/implications</strong> – This study was restricted to small and medium size enterprises, and therefore, the findings of this study may not be generalized to large enterprises. Additionally, this study was confined to the Jordanian IT sector only, thus, the findings need to be interpreted with cautious as they may not be generalized to other sectors.</p><p><strong>Originality/value</strong> – this study advances our understanding of the nature of the relationship between knowledge and innovation.</p>

Despite the increasing relevance of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) for innovation performance in the context of small and medium enterprises (SMEs), few studies examine the complexity of the underlying mechanism that explains the relationship between EO and innovation performance. Drawing on the resource-based view (RBV) and signalling theory, we examine an organisation-level model to explain how SME EO predicts innovation performance through human resource management (HRM) practices and collective organisational engagement (COE). We used data collected from 186 human resource managers and 526 employees in SMEs. The results indicate that HRM practices and COE sequentially mediate the relationship between EO and innovation performance. To complement studies that identify an organisation’s micro processes (i.e. employee behaviours as mediators between EO and innovation), this study highlights the need to examine macro processes occurring at the organisation level to account for the EO–innovation performance relationship.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the relationship between knowledge management and creation of intellectual property within the context of small and medium size manufacturing enterprises. Design/methodology/approach A hypothesis was formulated and tested using structural equation modelling. Data were collected through an instrument that was developed based on key constructs adapted from the literature and that was first validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. A Cronbach’s alpha test was also conducted and the Composite Reliability Index was calculated to ensure reliability of the theoretical model. The instrument was distributed among manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Aguascalientes region of Mexico, from were 125 valid responses were obtained. Findings In general, the results indicate that knowledge management has positive effects on the creation of intellectual property in manufacturing SMEs. This suggests that SMEs can create more intellectual property if they dedicate more efforts to the management of knowledge. Practical implications The implication of this research and its findings may inform the strategies formulated by policy makers, and the managerial practices that manufacturing SMEs can adopt to protect their knowledge. Originality/value Evidence suggests that studies focused on investigating the relationship between knowledge and intellectual property are limited. This paper provides a refined understanding of the relationship between knowledge management and intellectual property creation.

Slack resources are usually identified as an endogenous motivation for firms to innovate, but it is crucial to assess this relationship, especially in different institutional contexts. Therefore, the chapter investigates the relationship by exploring a longitudinal dataset of 15,589 observations from about 2,500 surveyed manufacturing small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Vietnam. The analysis reveals that slack resources promote innovation in different ways. While the financial slack harms the efforts of innovating, the presence of human resource slack encourages firms to engage more in innovation activities resulting in the introduction of new products or business processes. The authors further found that for firms located in a more favourable business environment the impact of human resource slack on innovation is less pronounced whereas the negative impact of financial slack is lessened. The above results enrich the literature on the relationship between slack and innovation within an institutional context in emerging economies.

Small and medium enterprises have been considerably affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. In the new normal era, small and medium enterprises need attention and support to survive. This study aims to analyze how the behaviors of disclosing financial statements, managerial perspectives, and social interest perspectives can change management behavior in disclosing financial statements in the absence of financial information. This research was conducted in Bali on small and medium enterprises affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in the new normal era. The sample of this research was 839 small and medium enterprises. The results showed that the disclosure of financial statements and managerial perspectives affected the perspective of social interest. Disclosure of financial statements and managerial perspectives affect the behavior of financial management. Perspectives of social interest are able to mediate the relationship between disclosure of financial statements and managerial perspectives with the behavior of financial management. Thus, in the new normal era, good and bad information about finances remains important to increasing the social interests of society.
