Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of strategic factors (e.g. e-business, knowledge management and organisational support) on the innovativeness of the nanotechnology organisations. Regression analysis was used to test the hypothesis in a sample of 235 UK nanotechnology organisations. The findings suggest that the innovativeness of the nanotechnology organisations is positively affected by advanced e-business operations and organisational support, and that the capability of knowledge dissemination and utilisation has positive effects while knowledge attribute possesses an interaction effect with advanced e-business operations on the innovativeness of the nanotechnology organisations.
