Knowledge Entrepreneurship (KE) and Innovation Performance (IP) of manufacturing firms in Kenya.
Design/methodology/approach: The study was anchored on the complexity theory. Mixed method research
was applied which utilized cross-sectional design. The target population was 828 manufacturing firms.
Purposive and stratified random sampling was used to determine a sample size of 115 firms.
Findings: The study found that IE has a great moderating effect between KE and IP in manufacturing firms
in Kenya. Collaboration and networking between industry, research organizations and universities should be
strengthened to promote IP and increase the competitiveness of firms.
Research limitations/implications: The number of sample is relative small compared with the population.
Practical implications: Result of this research shows that Innovation system is one of the most important
things in resulting Innovation performance | en_US |
