Exploring the Relationships of Knowledge Management, Organizational Innovation and Financial Performance
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationships of knowledge management (KM) and organizational innovation, and their impact on financial performance. The paper intends to add to the understanding of the specific processes that mediate between KM and financial performance. The conceptual framework proposed in this study is an original model that will hopefully contribute to the relevant literature. This paper uses structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to test the hypotheses based on a sample of 152 firms in China. The results indicate that KM are positively related to technological innovation and management innovation which, in turn, has a positive effect on financial performance. The findings provide evidence that technological innovation and management innovation play a mediating role between KM and financial performance. Finally, this paper discusses the implications of the findings and highlights the future research directions.
