Examining relationships among technology supportive practices, talent management and rapid technology assimilation to achieve innovation and organisational competitiveness
This study tested the validity of a newly developed model linking technology
supportive practices to rapid technology assimilation and talent management and
evaluated the causal effects on innovation and organisational competitiveness. The
analysis was based on data gathered from a radio and television broadcasting
house in Cyprus. Structural equation modeling results ascertained that the rapid
technology assimilation was predicted by technology supportive practices, frequency
of new technology introduction, reliability of technologies, managerial support for
new technologies, employee involvement and participation in technological change
and technology specific training. The talent management construct, which was
composed of the talent attraction and talent retention sub-scales, was also predicted
by the aforementioned technology supportive practices. Rapid technology
assimilation and talent management were found to positively relate with product and
process innovation. Product and process innovation were found to positively relate
with organisational competitiveness.
