Abstract:In today's chaotic business environment, organizations face the need to rapidly respond to demands, explore new opportunities, apply evolving technologies, and create novel competitive advantages. Knowledge Management (KM) and Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) are two strategic tools through which companies can concurrently exploit their competitive advantages while seeking potential opportunities. Since KM and CE practically help to improve organizational performance through their own resources, they seem not only interrelated but also influence each other. Therefore, an empirical survey was carried out among 51 Malaysian firms from different industrial sectors. In this study, Multiple Regressions is used to address the relationship between KM and CE. The results revealed that knowledge exploitation has significant positive relationship with innovation culture. However, there is no significant positive relationship between knowledge sharing culture and innovation culture. Similarly, both independent variables have no significant relationship with employees' interest in work innovation. © 2012 IEEE.
