Abstract:
This paper aims to develop a model of the connection between innovation capability (IC), knowledge sharing (KS), and innovation strategy (IS), through a systematic literature review. Researchers explore opportunities to expand model that drives prospective research affecting relationships related to knowledge management, strategy, and innovation. Authors are motivated to analyse the predisposing of innovation strategy towards innovation capability by using a theoretical model, which is developed as fundamental for conducting empirical data. The result shows that the literature on innovation strategy as a moderator role between innovation capability and sharing of knowledge has a considerable impress. This means that process integration between innovation variable and knowledge sharing has a potential leverage on increasing innovation capability, which leads to improve organizational performance.

Keywords: Innovation capability, Knowledge sharing, Innovation strategy, Systematic literature review.
