Abstract

So far, firms are ignorant of actual implications of managing knowledge and technology innovation. So far, firms are ignorant of actual implications of knowledge management and technology innovation. This research investigated the role of managing knowledge and innovation technology in new product performance of Pharmaceutical Jordanian manufacturing firms. Data were gathered from 4 firms out of 15 companies by developed questionnaire. The Cronbach’s Alpha was utilized to examine reliability, and multiple regressions analysis was conducted for hypothesis testing. According to extant literature, a research frame was designed showing a positive correlations’ among research constructs. Results of regression analysis reveal that knowledge management with (Knowledge creation and knowledge transfer) and technology innovation with (product innovation and process innovation) impact new product performance with its constructs. Results of regression analysis reveal that knowledge management and technology innovation effect new product performance. Results of this research may assist academics and managers in designing knowledge management programs to achieve higher technological innovations in product and process to develop new products performance through a successful financial and marketing performance. The study concludes and recommended to conduct further research.
