Influencing Factors on the Production Innovation in Transition China?

This study combines learning, knowledge management and innovation theory to develop an integrated model of production innovation in transition China. We analyze the model using a structural equation model approach, and 208 manufacturing and service firms in China are selected as the samples of this study. The results conclude that: (1) The higher the level of learning orientation, the higher the level of knowledge energy; (2) knowledge energy positively affects production innovation; (3) learning orientation has no significantly impact on production innovation. Finally, implications for researchers and practitioners are presented.
