Abstract

The study aims to explore how high-tech small-to-medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) utilize integrative innovation resource strategy to transforming knowledge into action to reach innovation capacity via integrating innovation culture, knowledge management (KM), managing and organizing innovation, to achieve sustained innovation and value creation, and then to reach KM performances. The study uses multidimensional perspectives to construct an integrative innovation model, and through four case studies to examine this model, compares the distinct features between smaller and larger high-tech SMEs in utilizing integrative innovation resource strategy.The finding indicates predicting whether an innovative action will progress through an organization, and effectively planning the action, requires managers to identify, understand, and analyze all individual and organizational support that might bear on the action. Management and other integrated processes set up support for action that protect the organization's identity.
