Abstract

The impact of globalization and a hypercompetitive market environment increases the competition in manufacturing activities and implied changes in the business environment. Therefore, the transformation from closed innovation processes into open innovation practices becomes a necessity if not crucial for all organizations particularly SMEs to innovate and compete. Open Innovation (OI) can improve firm competitiveness. However, studies have focused mainly on OI on large or high-tech companies. Existing research indicates that SMEs in Malaysia are lacking the capacity to engage in OI because of their limited tangible resources. Also, It is theorized that knowledge-based HRM practices stimulate KM processes, and the existence of an adhocracy culture further plays a role in influencing knowledge-based HRM and KM processes on OI in firms A cost-effective method for SMEs to engage in OI practices is to consider intangible resources, OI may be inspired by the knowledge-based view of organizations which posits that knowledge is the central resource in the firm. From a knowledge-based view; individual employees can leverage their knowledge and social relationships through knowledge-based HRM practices, knowledge management processes in a context of adhocracy culture that enhances OI practices in firms. Further, the dynamic capabilities approach can help managers to reach the target of competitiveness via effective implementation of knowledge-based HRM practices and knowledge management processes that enhance OI practices in the firm within a type of culture that support innovation. Purpose –The main objective of this paper is to develop a framework that connects knowledge-based HRM practices, knowledge management processes, and adhocracy culture in driving OI in Malaysian SMEs.
