Abstract

Knowledge integration is the process of quickly integrating the knowledge of different sources, different forms and different carriers and constructing the new knowledge system. As typical knowledge intensely enterprise-IT enterprise, knowledge integration is the key to maintain sustained innovation capability in the fiercely competitive market environment. According to the order of knowledge production, knowledge propagation and knowledge application, this paper divides knowledge integration into three stages of knowledge creation, knowledge diffusion and knowledge utilisation. Besides, on the basis of analysing how each stage of knowledge integration influences the innovation capability of IT enterprise, this paper constructs the concept model illustrating the relationship between knowledge integration of IT enterprise and innovation capability of IT enterprise. This paper uses SEM to make empirical study. The result shows that knowledge integration has positive effect on the technological innovation, managerial innovation, organisational innovation, institutional innovation and market innovation of IT enterprise. Knowledge integration is the key and guarantee for improving the innovation capability of IT enterprise and enhancing the core competitiveness of enterprises.
