Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between knowledge stickiness and a firm’s innovation capability in the context of developing countries, i.e., Indonesia. The main research question addressed by this study is: does knowledge stickiness affect a firm’s innovation capability? Using data from 100 small- and medium-sized furniture enterprises (SMEs), the study finds that product innovations are predominant over process and organizational ones. However, incremental innovations are often more preferred than radical ones. This study also finds that the firms absorb knowledge from various sources to undertake innovations. Buyers, Internet, and suppliers are the significant sources, for sensory, coded, and theoretical knowledge. Buyers are also the main source of a great extent of various knowledge domains related to product, process, and organizational innovations. In general, the furniture firms do not pay considerable attention to planning stages when introducing innovations, as indicated by the fact that not all innovations are preceded by initiatives, except for really new processes and organizational innovations whose impact on the firms’ revenue is less visible. Out of four dimensions of knowledge stickiness used in this study, three of them (i.e., knowledge interconnectedness, sensory knowledge, and coded knowledge) are proven to have significant impact on a firm’s innovation capability. We find, knowledge interconnectedness and coded knowledge have a positive impact, while sensory knowledge influences a firm’s innovation capability in a negative direction. All in all, this study provides empirical evidence that knowledge stickiness has a significant impact on a firm’s innovation capability (explains 36% of total variance).

Abstract

This research aims to examine the relationship between business location decision and business success. The case is Internet café business in Indonesia. This research is addressed to answer these main questions: (1) what factors do underlie location decision for an Internet café business?; and (2) does location decision determine success of Internet café business? A field research is conducted to answer these questions.Factor analysis applied to 17 location factors reveals five underlying dimensions of business location decision. They are centrality, business environment, business venue, cost, and labor. Based on responses from 93 Internet cafés in three locations (i.e. Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Lombok), the author finds that favorable location of business is positively related to business success. More specifically, a regression analysis reveals that availability of utilities, proximity to schools/universities and security affect business success in a positive direction, while proximity to highways, being in commercial center affect in a negative direction. The independent variables explain 23 percent of total variance.

Abstract

This paper aims to identify determinants of entrepreneurial intentions among young people. The empirical basis is Norwegian students, while an objective is also to create a basis for comparative studies among different economic and cultural contexts. Independent variables in the study include demographic factors and individual background, personality traits, and contextual elements like access to capital and information. The individual perceptions of self-efficacy and instrumental readiness are the variables that affect entrepreneurial intentions most significantly. Age, gender and educational background have no statistically significant impact. Generally, the level of the entrepreneurial intentions among Norwegian students is relatively low, which may be explained by social status and economic remuneration of entrepreneurs compared with employees in the Norwegian context.

Abstract

The furniture industry makes a significant contribution to the Indonesian economy but is exposed to an intensifying competitive environment and to emerging shortages of raw material. These circumstances have prompted small furniture manufacturers in the district of Jepara to undertake several types of innovation. It appears that of all first ranked innovations, product innovation is the largest category. In the overall pattern of innovations, market innovation and logistics innovation are also important, a situation that can be explained by the typical character and current circumstances of the furniture industry in this area. The innovation process concerned mainly relies on traditional knowledge sources, namely in-house learning-by-doing and experimentation, and buyers (customers). However, the manufacturers show willingness to use other knowledge sources in the near future, particularly more formal and globally oriented ones, such as exhibitions, research institutions, and the Internet. What tends to hamper such progress is that the manufacturers’ capability to access these knowledge sources is limited by financial obstacles and to a smaller extent by complexity and language obstacles. The paper concludes with a few policy recommendations and potential directions of future research. One of the policy recommendations aims at a combination of the traditional way of knowledge generation through in-house learning-by-doing and experimentation with knowledge from modern and formal sources.

Abstract

Studies on knowledge sharing attitudes and intention in the context of hospitality industries such as hotel has still a relatively little attention. This current study was intended to fulfill that void to contribute to the existing discussion on knowledge sharing studies for hotel businesses. The main objective of the current study was to examine 1) the effect of extrinsic motivation, absorptive capacity, channel richness, sense of self-worth on attitude towards knowledge sharing, and 2) the effect of attitude towards knowledge sharing on intention of knowledge sharing. The study mainly used theory reasoned action as a point of departure to understand the attitude and intention of knowledge sharing and proposed six hypotheses. We conducted survey among 300 employees from various hotels in Eastern Part of Indonesia (the city of Ambon) and the data was tested using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) techniques. The findings showed that the extrinsic motivation, absorptive capacity, and in-role behaviour have a positive effect on the attitude of sharing knowledge. In addition, the attitude of knowledge sharing has a positive influence on the intention to share knowledge. Meanwhile, the effect of channel richness and the sense of self-worth on attitude of knowledge sharing were not supported.

Abstract

Using a survey in 120 companies in the food and beverage industry such restaurants and café, manufacture, and retail in Indonesia, this study discusses the effect of intellectual capital on innovation capability. The results prove that not all of intellectual capital dimension support innovation capability. Structural capital and relational capital are knowledge assets that play an important role for the company's ability to innovate. In addition, other findings from this study reveal that human capital has no significant effect on innovation capability. That is because in the context of three companies in the food and beverage industry in Indonesia, the innovation decision is not related to the employee or human capital aspects. Furthermore, this research also has not been able to prove that relational capital moderates the positive influence of human capital on innovation capability. That is because the formation of human capital aspects such skills of employees in this industry are not related to the relations and collaboration of the company.Keywords: human capital, structural capital, relational capital, innovation capability
