| Summary: | Product innovation refers to new products
development and improvement of existing products. The
importance of product innovation proliferated as the market
grows and becomes more diversified. Among SMEs, product
innovation is one of the most critical determinants for their
survival, growth and competitiveness. Nonetheless, product
innovation among SMEs is still low, owning to various issues and
challenges. This study attempts to focus the effect of
transformational leadership and organizational culture on
product innovation among thirty-six SMEs in Johor. A SEM-PLS
was used to validate the measurement model and develop the
path modeling among variables studied. It is found that both
transformational leadership and organizational culture are
significantly related to product innovation. This finding
substantiates previous findings and lends supports to the
importance roles of both constructs in SME’s development. |
