Abstract
Knowledge management is an important topic for both researchers and practitioners. In a more complicated business environment, it is quite essential to explore the relations among information technology (IT) applications, organization's internal structure/culture, strategies, knowledge management, and the enterprise's innovation capabilities. This paper, based on the resource theory, proposed a conceptual model to investigate the potential relations. From data collected from 126 Chinese companies, this study finds that; 1) IT applications and organization's internal structure/culture have an indirect impact on a firm's innovation capability; 2) knowledge management is the key factor that affects the enterprise innovation capability; 3) A firm adopting future oriented strategies has stronger innovation capability than firms with defensive strategies.
