STRATEGIC FACTORS FOR ENHANCING THE INNOVATIVENESS OF THE NANOTECHNOLOGY FIRMS

摘要

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