The impact of open innovation, knowledge field activity, and knowledge transfer Factors towards innovation performance

Abstract

This study examines the influence of open innovation, knowledge field activity, and knowledge transfer on innovation performance in Chinese organizations. A quantitative survey was conducted using data collected from 306 firms across multiple industries, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that open innovation, including open innovation breadth and open innovation depth, has a positive influence on innovation performance (Accept Hypothesis). Knowledge field activity, particularly team cohesion, also has a positive influence on innovation performance (Accept Hypothesis). In addition, knowledge transfer, including knowledge acquisition and knowledge integration, has a positive influence on innovation performance (Accept Hypothesis). Overall, the findings suggest that organizations should strengthen knowledge transfer mechanisms, foster a supportive knowledge-sharing environment, and maintain diversified external partnerships to enhance innovation performance.
