Purpose This study examines the real impact of the article on knowledge management and technological innovation in family small to medium enterprises (FSMEs). This is a unique context affected by psychological and emotional ownership. However, COVID-19 has forced FSMEs to consider new strategies and practices to preserve their competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach This article conceptually discusses the dual role of knowledge management and technological innovation, which brings about innovations, although it can be limited by psychological and emotional ownership. Findings In this scenario, knowledge exchange, knowledge absorption, and technology adoption appear relevant to the innovation process. This study offers a framework for how the duality of knowledge management and technological innovation affects innovation. Originality While extant research has explored technological innovation outcomes, a literature review reveals that accumulated studies on the drivers of technological innovation and knowledge management in the context of FSMEs require further inquiry. Family members' emotional ownership may foster knowledge management because identification with organizational goals enhances individuals' willingness to access and share information and stimulates new products and technological development.

Abstract
Purpose This study examines the real impact of the article on knowledge management and technological innovation in family small to medium enterprises (FSMEs). This is a unique context affected by psychological and emotional ownership. However, COVID-19 has forced FSMEs to consider new strategies and practices to preserve their competitive advantage. Design/methodology/approach This article conceptually discusses the dual role of knowledge management and technological innovation, which brings about innovations, although it can be limited by psychological and emotional ownership. Findings In this scenario, knowledge exchange, knowledge absorption, and technology adoption appear relevant to the innovation process. This study offers a framework for how the duality of knowledge management and technological innovation affects innovation. Originality While extant research has explored technological innovation outcomes, a literature review reveals that accumulated studies on the drivers of technological innovation and knowledge management in the context of FSMEs require further inquiry. Family members' emotional ownership may foster knowledge management because identification with organizational goals enhances individuals' willingness to access and share information and stimulates new products and technological development.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
