The need to innovate is relevant to many firms around the globe and is particularly pressing for those in emerging markets. They face global competition, are under-resourced, and suffer from weaker institutional support. It is suggested that to innovate successfully in this context, indigenous firms would benefit from focusing on managing their current knowledge base more efficiently. We know little about how
knowledge management works outside developed economies and which knowledge
governance mechanisms have more influence than others in the context of emerging
economies. To address this gap, we explore how context may matter for the use of
knowledge governance mechanisms and their effect on innovation performance in
Brazilian firms. Using the survey data of 109 firms, structural equation modelling, and
cluster analysis, our findings suggest that the joint application of knowledge-focused
rewards, organizational design, and information and communication technologies that
support knowledge processes is critical for boosting innovation performance. We discuss how the peculiarities of the Brazilian context may shape these findings. Our article contributes to the knowledge management and innovation literature by demonstrating that the joint effects of bundles of knowledge governance mechanisms and contextual variables should be explored in order to understand their impact on organizational outcomes.
