摘要：AbstractThe knowledge sharing and innovation have been subject to many studies in the literature. The knowledge sharing and innovation are two important and interrelated subjects that need to be further explored to understand their dynamics and implications. Knowledge sharing has implication for innovation capability and innovation performance of the firms. Innovation capability also affects innovation performance of the firms.This study focuses on the knowledge sharing process and its impact on innovation capability and innovation performance of the firms. The research model along with hypotheses are developed from the literature and tested based on the data collected through a survey on companies in Kahramanmaras. The obtained data from the questionnaires are analyzed through Smart PLS 2.0 program. The results from the study partially confirm hypothesized the influence of knowledge sharing process on innovation capability of the firms. The effect of innovation capability on innovation performance constitutes another finding of this study. However, the hypothesized the influence of knowledge sharing process on innovation performance was not realized. Theoretical and practical implications of the study were discussed in the conclusion part of the study.
