ABSTRACT: Using a sample of 252 R & D
teams in Guangzhou, Foshan, Shenzhen, the researcher empirically examines the
relationship between knowledge heterogeneity and knowledge innovation performance,
the mediating role of knowledge share. Results indicate that knowledge heterogeneity
is positively related to knowledge share, the same with knowledge share and
knowledge innovation performance. This paper analyzes the results comprehensively
and makes recommendations from multiple perspectives including building the
knowledge heterogeneous steams, advocating the collaborative spirit, building a
knowledge shared platform, improving the organizational structure, and grooming
the communication.
