| description | Purpose - This study investigates the impact of incubators on knowledge management and
sustainable innovation in early-stage tourism and hospitality firms. It explores whether
incubators leverage innovation generated by these firms.
Methodology/Design/Approach - Survey data from early-stage tourism and hospitality firms were
analyzed using latent variable modeling and Importance-Performance Matrix Analysis (IPMA).
Findings - The study reveals that incubators directly influence innovation exploitation but not
innovation exploration. However, an indirect influence on exploration exists through human
capital as a mediator.
Originality - This research advances understanding of the relationship between knowledge
management and sustainable innovation in the tourism context. It pioneers the exploration
of the incubator effect on innovation ambidexterity (simultaneous pursuit of exploration and
exploitation) in early-stage tourism and hospitality firms. |
