Knowledge for Translating Management Innovation into Firm Performance

This paper examines the role of tacit and explicit knowledge in translating innovation measures into firm performance in Japanese companies. While innovation has been found to be a source of higher firm performance, this research is considering whether innovation measures adopted by the firm translate directly into higher firm performance or whether these innovation measures generate tacit and/or explicit knowledge which themselves produce higher corporate performance.
