Effect of Social Capital on Innovation: A Mediating Role of Employee Motivation
Journal Title: Engineering, Technology & Applied Science Research - Year 2018, Vol 8, Issue 4

Enterprises’ survival depends on their ability to self-reconstruct. This reconstruction regards coordinated goals with the current situation and improved methods used to achieve these goals. Companies have to improve processes of innovation and creativity in order to adapt to changes.
