Abstract

Top management involvement (MVV) is acknowledged to be a critical factor in enhancing firm performance. As a result, we evaluated the mediation role of supply chain integration (SCI) in the relationship between MVV and innovation performance. Again, the study evaluated the moderation role of firm experience capability (FEXCAP) in the association between MVV and SCI (internal, customer, and supplier). To this end, we conducted a quantitative empirical study in Ghana enterprise agency. Data was gathered from 685 manufacturing and service small and medium enterprises’ top managers and analyzed using the Analysis of Moment Structures (Amos) and Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 26 software. The results revealed that SCI (internal, customer, and supplier) partially mediated the relationship between MVV and innovation performance.

Additionally, FEXCAP positively moderated the association between MVV and SCI (internal, customer, and supplier). The study is critical as it endorses the significant role of MVV in improving the effectiveness of SCI and FEXCAP in firm innovation performance. We evaluated our model in a small and medium context.

高层管理参与和供应链整合对中小企业创新绩效的作用：企业经验能力的调节作用

高层管理参与（MVV）被认为是提高企业绩效的关键因素。因此，我们评估了供应链整合（SCI）在 MVV 与创新绩效之间关系中的中介作用。此外，本研究还评估了企业经验能力（FEXCAP）在 MVV 与 SCI（内部、客户和供应商）之间的关联中的调节作用。为此，我们在加纳企业机构开展了一项定量实证研究。我们收集了 685 名制造业和服务业中小型企业高层管理人员的数据，并使用矩量结构分析法（Amos）和社会科学统计软件包 26 版进行了分析。研究结果表明，SCI（内部、客户和供应商）在一定程度上调节了 MVV 与创新绩效之间的关系。此外，FEXCAP 积极调节了 MVV 与 SCI（内部、客户和供应商）之间的关系。这项研究至关重要，因为它证实了 MVV 在提高 SCI 和 FEXCAP 在企业创新绩效中的有效性方面发挥着重要作用。我们在中小型企业中评估了我们的模型。

期刊介绍： In the context of rapid globalization and technological capacity, the world’s economies today are driven increasingly by knowledge—the expertise, skills, experience, education, understanding, awareness, perception, and other qualities required to communicate, interpret, and analyze information. New wealth is created by the application of knowledge to improve productivity—and to create new products, services, systems, and process (i.e., to innovate). The Journal of the Knowledge Economy focuses on the dynamics of the knowledge-based economy, with an emphasis on the role of knowledge creation, diffusion, and application across three economic levels: (1) the systemic ''meta'' or ''macro''-level, (2) the organizational ''meso''-level, and (3) the individual ''micro''-level. The journal incorporates insights from the fields of economics, management, law, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and political science to shed new light on the evolving role of knowledge, with a particular emphasis on how innovation can be leveraged to provide solutions to complex problems and issues, including global crises in environmental sustainability, education, and economic development. Articles emphasize empirical studies, underscoring a comparative approach, and, to a lesser extent, case studies and theoretical articles. The journal balances practice/application and theory/concepts.
