Abstract

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to explore the influence of transformational leadership (TL) on firm's frugal innovation. It also deepens understanding of appropriate mechanisms and conditions to improve specific aspects of frugal innovation namely frugal functionality, frugal cost and frugal ecosystem by examining the mediating role of knowledge management capability (KMC) and moderating mechanism of collaborative culture.Design/methodology/approachThe paper utilized structural equation modeling and cross-sectional design to test hypotheses in the proposed research model using data collected from 351 participants in 112 Vietnamese firms.FindingsThe findings indicate that KMC significantly mediates TL's effects on aspects of firm's frugal innovation namely frugal functionality, frugal cost and frugal ecosystem. In addition, the influence of KMC on frugal functionality is different and depended on the extent of collaborative culture in an organization.Research limitations/implicationsThe paper has significantly contributed to increasing the understanding of the link between TL and specific aspects of frugal innovation by highlighting the important role of KMC and positive effects of collaborative climate in an organization.Originality/valueThe paper is unique in the attempts to provide the valuable initiatives and integration view of leadership practices for improving specific dimensions of frugal innovation of firms in developing and emerging market.

新兴市场企业节俭创新的领导与知识管理实践:协作文化的调节作用

目的本研究旨在探讨转型领导对企业节俭创新的影响。通过考察知识管理能力（KMC）的中介作用和协作文化的调节机制，加深了对适当机制和条件的理解，以改善节俭创新的具体方面，即节俭功能、节俭成本和节俭生态系统。设计/方法论/方法该论文利用结构方程建模和截面设计，利用从112家越南公司的351名参与者中收集的数据来检验所提出的研究模型中的假设。研究结果表明，KMC显著中介TL对企业节约创新的影响，即节约功能、节约成本和节约生态系统。此外，KMC对节俭功能的影响是不同的，并且取决于组织中协作文化的程度。研究局限性/含义本文通过强调KMC的重要作用和合作氛围在组织中的积极影响，大大有助于加深对TL与节俭创新特定方面之间联系的理解。独创性/价值本文的独特之处在于，它试图提供有价值的举措和领导实践的整合观点，以提高发展中国家和新兴市场企业节俭创新的具体维度。
