INTER-ORGANIZATIONAL LEARNING, KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT, INNOVATION CAPABILITIES & PERFORMANCE IN TECH SMES, KUNMING

Abstract

As a successful example of the combination of science and technology and economy, SMEs are an important force to improve China's independent innovation ability, and play an important role in promoting national economic growth and social harmony and stability. As for SMEs based on science and technology, due to the lack of resources and limited innovation ability, it is difficult for enterprises to achieve sustainable innovation development by themselves, and they must establish extensive contacts with external social networks to help enterprises obtain scarce learning resources required for innovation activities. Therefore, compared with large science and technology enterprises, small and medium-sized science and technology enterprises have stronger demand for the linkage relationship between learning and knowledge and the innovation ability of employees, which can significantly affect the improvement of enterprise innovation performance. The innovation of SMEs in science and technology requires efficient use and allocation of inter-organizational learning, and the experience and lessons acquired and management methods are internalized into the organization through the knowledge management process, combined with the innovation ability of knowledge employees, so as to continuously improve the creativity of the organization. This is exactly the personality of SMEs in science and technology. Based on the personality characteristics of technology-based SMEs, this study focuses on the relationship between inter-organizational learning, knowledge management process and innovation performance. By strengthening the positive influencing factors of innovation performance of technology-based SMEs, the integration and development of internal resources of enterprises can be realized, while innovation output can be achieved and competitive advantages can be maintained.
