KNOWLEDGE SHARING AND COLLABORATIVE INNOVATION IN SMALL ENTERPRISES: A SOCIAL CAPITAL PERSPECTIVE
Keywords:
MSMEs, Knowledge Sharing And Collaborative Innovation, Dynamic Capabilities, Organizational Learning, Business ResilienceAbstract
This conceptual paper develops an integrative framework for knowledge sharing and collaborative innovation in micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). It synthesizes established literature on the resource-based view, dynamic capabilities, organizational learning, absorptive capacity, social capital, resilience, and entrepreneurial ecosystems. The analysis explains how relational trust, knowledge exchange, absorptive capacity, experimentation, and network diversity can be organized into proportionate managerial routines. No primary survey, interview, experimental, or statistical data are claimed. The framework proposes diagnosis, capability mapping, bounded experimentation, evidence review, governance, resource reconfiguration, and learning retention as a cumulative cycle.
