Abstract :
After reviewing the relevant literature that took place on strategic innovation capacity of a firm foundation of knowledge was revealed that researchers focus on the process and the network knowledge and emphasis is less on overall strategic approach. Structural studies and background information, the authors reinterpret capacity from a cognitive perspective stimulate and suggests that the mechanism can surround certain functions to detect deliberate re-integrate and exploit new ways to affect pricing. After analyzing the data using structural equation modeling techniques, deliberate learning mechanisms for recognition of strategic innovation capacity is not confirmed but the positive impact of deliberate learning mechanisms for the capture and exploitation of strategic innovation capacity has been approved.
