Impact of knowledge management on organizational innovation– An empirical study of managers’ label on Knowledge management project issues in Iran

Knowledge management increases organizational competitiveness. However, its reception in many institutions is not as integrated as emphasized. Without managers’ initiating discussion of innovation issues in organizational meeting, no further organizational action will be taken because managers have the right to decide resources allocation on organizational meeting. Furthermore, the bene?ts of knowledge management reception are not so obvious when comparing with ERP, but it still takes cost. Therefore, this study explored man- agers’ label, being bene?cial or burdening to institutions, toward knowledge management project issues and its impact on their intention to discuss on organizational meeting. A total of 182 reliable returned questionnaires from managers were analyzed with PLS. The results showed signi?cant impact of man- agers’ label on their intention to discuss the issues. To institutions intending to broaden knowledge management reception, solving the Problem of managers’ label before discussing the issues on organizational meeting facilitates both the initiation and reception.
