Purpose Studies of capability building and organisational learning through networked arrangements have been growing in recent years. In high‐technology industries, particular, small medium‐sized enterprises overcome problems resource information limitations by becoming a part knowledge network. This paper seeks to examine innovation networks the Australian medium (SMEs) focusing on linkages employed businesses learn, adapt technological change, innovate. Design/methodology/approach To study...

Purpose Based on the significance of context, purpose this paper is to investigate a positive top management team (TMT) gender diversity–productivity relationship derived from upper echelons theory, and moderating effect board diversity TMT relational framework. Design/methodology/approach The hypotheses were tested in 172 organisations listed Australian Securities Exchange. This research uses archival data multiple secondary sources, with one-year time lag between predictor outcome....

The aim of this paper is twofold: firstly, investigate the theory governance and open innovation by adding process value creation capture; secondly, to discuss potential link between economic sustainability. With current emphasis literature being on either or capture processes, phenomenon only partially understood. To help broaden understanding, we conducted an in-depth case study processes behind transformation structures at Iran Khodro Company (IKCO), which led emergence both processes. A...

Strategic capability development refers to the renewal of organisational capabilities which are sources competitive advantage. The aim this paper is examine how strategic and advantage build up over time. Recent literature points integration dynamic ambidexterity perspectives in explaining development. Literature analysis reveals role knowledge product innovation integrating ambidexterity. However, little attention has yet been paid within projects as a context for Accordingly, aims develop...

This study attempts to develop a better understanding of the challenges knowledge integration (KI) within innovation process in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs). Using several case studies, this investigates how may be managed context SMEs. The research places particular focus on identifying SMEs relation three aspects activities, namely identification, acquisition, sharing. Four distinct tasks emerged process, team building capability, capturing tacit knowledge, role management (KM)...

This paper investigates the interrelationships between knowledge integration (KI), product innovation and capability development to enhance our understanding of processes outcomes within firms. One critical underlying mechanisms for building identified in literature is role integration, which operates projects contributes dynamic development. Findings this study demonstrate that emergence specialization from part level up architectural lead ecosystem auto industry as a response learning firm.

There is a lack of empirical evidence supporting existing conceptualisations and particularly clarifying the underlying mechanisms involved in role dominant firms industry transformation. This research undertook an in-depth single case study how firm managed its knowledge capability development processes to shape architecture benefit. We investigated manipulates interdependencies with local suppliers positions itself at higher levels hierarchy. Findings suggest that such take place over...

Abstract The literature on capability development has focussed either the content or process of development. Such a partial explanation phenomenon created some flaws in literature. This paper argues that integrating and is way ahead theorising this field. Analysis methodological parallel to theory reveals critical role microprocesses such integration. To develop an integrative view we propose conceptualisation processes through internal external strategic fit emphasise knowledge innovation...

The objective of this paper is to develop insights into firms' strategic capability development processes within product innovation projects.In particular, the research aims at investigating interactions among innovation, knowledge processes, and firms.Building on qualitative data from auto-industry, our analysis reveals that across four projects, case company developed architectural capability.Findings reveal that, along with changes each level architecture, "design knowledge" capability"...

Knowledge integration (KI) is one of the major aspects driving innovation within an organisation.In this paper, we attempt to develop a better understanding responses challenges knowledge process in technology-based firms.Using four Australian firms, investigated how may be managed context technology firms.Previous research highlights role KI tasks that affect capability technology-oriented namely team building capability, capturing tacit knowledge, management (KM) systems and technological...
