- Abstract
The current research aims to examine the influence of knowledge sharing (KS) and strategic locations on the innovation and competitive advantage (CA) of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The present research aims to analyze and empirically examine the influence of KS and strategic location on CA through the mediating role of innovation. The sample size of this study was 99 managers of SMEs in Southeast Sulawesi Province. The analytical tool used in testing the research hypotheses is SEM-PLS. These findings indicate that KS and strategic locations have a significantly positive influence on innovation. Similarly, strategic locations and innovation have significantly positive effects on CA. However, KS does not have a significant influence on CA. The main findings in this research show that innovation has a role as a mediation in the relationship between KS and strategic locations to improve CA in SMEs. The findings of this research indicate SMEs must be able to take strategic decisions in determining locations and can share knowledge through innovation to improve CA.
