Modeling national innovation system enabled by knowledge management

The main objective of this paper is to explore the model of how knowledge management functions enables national innovation system. To achieve the objectives of the study, a conceptual framework is proposed and described, then the systemic analysis is undertaken. Path coefficient and t-value are also used to measure the relationships among chosen variables. A great number of sources are used to collect data, including questionnaires, interviews, observations, and literature review. The achievements of the study demonstrate 10 distinctive national innovation system performance dimensions and the relationship with knowledge management functions. The first layer includes explicit knowledge, while the second layer deals with tacit knowledge. Both of two layers link to a complete knowledge management functions and processes: explicit knowledge building, explicit knowledge gathering, explicit knowledge distributing, explicit knowledge reusing, tacit knowledge capturing, tacit knowledge sharing tacit knowledge disseminating, tacit knowledge innovating; whereas the third layer includes NIS enablers items or performance dimension of national innovation system: quality, effectiveness, quantity, codification, structure, efficiency, internalization, expertise, effectiveness

Developing a Framework for Knowledge Innovation Strategic Management

In the current age, the importance of using knowledge as a tool for creativity and innovation at national level is considerable. Furthermore, it would be taken into consideration as strategic need in the competition among different countries. Hence in this paper, a new knowledge strategic management framework was developed with emphasizing on knowledge based innovation, upon up studying knowledge management models, knowledge strategic management, innovation and innovation knowledge (knowledge based innovation). Developing new conceptual model was done on the basis of comprehensive review of knowledge management literature which applys in innovation management. The presented model has two layers including five main stages: knowledge based innovation and business alignment, vision and mission, gap analysis, defining goals based upon innovation needs in each of the knowledge areas, road map planning, and finally monitoring achievement of the goals. For validation of the framework, the components of the knowledge strategic management models were gathered and examined by a questioner, then in the next step using T statistics test, significant of the criteria (which explored from literature) was measured by SPSS software, finally with a new advance multi criteria decision making method which is called evidential reasoning based on 17criteria, importance of current models and proposed model were compared and ranking accomplished. Results indicate that the providing model obtain higher points among others
