However, in developing economies, technology adaptation plays a critical role in innovation compared to knowledge creation.

In such settings, technology adaptation plays a critical role in innovation. While employees' human capital endowments significantly impact small firms in that context, firm-level practices such as internal training are crucial for large companies.
