Knowledge sharing, innovation capability, and organizational performance in emerging markets: Empirical evidence from SMEs in Ghana

Abstract

Despite its importance, knowledge sharing as a driver of organizational performance in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within emerging markets has received limited scholarly attention. Grounded in the resource-based view and knowledge-based view of the firm, this study investigates the relationships among knowledge sharing, innovation capability, and organizational performance in SMEs operating in emerging markets. Data were collected from 343 SMEs, using simple random sampling and the hypotheses were tested using structural equation modeling.
