| description | Abstract: This study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge stickiness and a firm�s innovation capability in the context of developing countries, i.e., Indonesia. The main research question addressed by this study is: does knowledge stickiness affect a firm�s innovation capability? Using data from 100 small- and medium-sized furniture enterprises (SMEs), the study finds that product innovations are predominant over process and organizational ones. However, incremental innovations are often more preferred than radical ones. This study also finds that the firms absorb knowledge from various sources to undertake innovations. Buyers, Internet, and suppliers are the significant sources, for sensory, coded, and theoretical knowledge. Buyers are also the main source of a great extent of various knowledge domains related to product, process, and organizational innovations.
In general, the furniture firms do not pay considerable attention to planning stages when introducing innovations, as indicated by the fact that not all innovations are preceded by initiatives, except for really new processes and organizational innovations whose impact on the firms� revenue is less visible. Out of four dimensions of knowledge stickiness used in this study, three of them (i.e., knowledge interconnectedness, sensory knowledge, and coded knowledge) are proven to have significant impact on a firm�s innovation capability. We find, knowledge interconnectedness and coded knowledge have a positive impact, while sensory knowledge influences a firm�s innovation capability in a negative direction. All in all, this study provides empirical evidence that knowledge stickiness has a significant impact on a firm�s innovation capability (explains 36% of total variance).
Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji hubungan antara kelengketan pengetahuan dan kemampuan inovasi perusahaan dalam konteks negara berkembang (i.e. Indonesia). Pertanyaan utama yang dijawab dalam penelitian ini adalah apakah kelengketan pengetahuan mempengaruhi kemampuan inovasi suatu perusahaan? Berdasarkan data 100 perusahaan mebel berskala kecil dan menengah (UKM) di Indonesia, penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa inovasi produk banyak dilakukan oleh UKM di Indonesia dibandingkan inovasi proses dan organisasional. Sementara itu, dari tingkat kebaruan, inovasi incremental jauh lebih sering dilakukan daripada inovasi radikal. Penelitian ini juga menemukan bahwa perusahaan menyerap berbagai pengetahuan untuk melakukan inovasi. Pembeli, Internet, dan pemasok merupakan sumber- sumber utama bagi pengetahuan sensori, terkode, dan teoretikal. Disamping itu, pembeli adalah sumber utama yang menyediakan berbagai pengetahuan yang relevan dalam inovasi produk, proses, dan organisasional.
Temuan lain, secara umum, perusahaan mebel tidak memberikan cukup perhatian pada tahap perencanaan ketika melakukan inovasi. Kenyataannya, tidak banyak inovasi yang dihasilkan diawali dengan tahapan inisiasi, kecuali untuk inovasi proses dan organisasional yang memberikan impak tidak terlalu besar bagi pendapatan perusahaan. Dari empat dimensi kelengkatan pengetahuan yang diteliti, tiga di antaranya (i.e. ketertautan pengetahuan (knowledge inteconnectedness), pengetahuan sensori dan pengetahuan terkode) yang terbukti mempengaruhi kemampuan inovasi perusahaan. Lebih rinci, ketertautan pengetahuan dan
pengetahuan terkode memberikan pengaruh positif sedangkan pengetahuan sensori berpengaruh negatif terhadap kemampuan inovasi perusahaan. Penelitian ini juga memberikan bukti empiris bahwa secara keseluruhan kelengketan pengetahuan mempunyai pengaruh signifikan pada kemampuan inovasi perusahaan (menjelaskan sebesar 36% dari total varians). |
