Abstract

This study examines how the knowledge management dynamics affect the adoption of innovation in software firms using the residual-dominant and emergent theoretical framework as the existing innovation theories, which are based on life cycle theories do not provide deep insight into the effect of past, present and emerging knowledge management practices on innovation adoption decisions. The findings emphasise the importance of analysing the dominant knowledge management (KM) practices as well as the residual and emerging knowledge management practices to identify the knowledge management-specific enablers and barriers to innovation when business firms move from one stage to another stage as they have to develop, recreate and sustain their knowledge capabilities to enhance business performance through innovation. The study revealed that the knowledge focus changes in line with the innovation focus.
