description |
Today knowledge management actions and innovation processes are very
specific and complex topics. That is why this publication is focused on small
and narrow aspect of these issues – their perception in only one category of
entities, which are manufacturing companies. This paper analyzes and compares
the attitude to knowledge management and innovation amid manufacturing
enterprises operating locally only or internationally. It also checks
the influence of various approaches to studied issues on creating mentioned
businesses’ competitive advantage. Empirical study, in which 331 companies
took part, has shown that enterprises in international process appreciate
knowledge management and innovation more than their counterparts operating
only on the local markets. Moreover, the research results demonstrated
that knowledge and innovation appreciation by managers and employees is
important for competitive advantage of every kind of manufacturing enterprises.
Nevertheless, it is crucial to remember for those firms involved on
foreign markets – the more a company is engaged in international operations
the more attention it should pay to its knowledge and innovation processes. |
