Abstract :This study aims to address the critical yet underexplored relationship between knowledge management practices and organizational innovation capacity by examining how organizations can effectively leverage their knowledge assets to enhance innovation performance. The research identifies a significant gap in current literature regarding the systematic integration of knowledge management practices with innovation processes and proposes an integrated conceptual framework to bridge this theoretical divide. The research aims to synthesize established theories from knowledge management, organizational learning, and innovation literature to develop a holistic understanding of knowledge-driven innovation dynamics. The study, depending on the review of the existing studies, tries to identify and elaborate on four critical dimensions that may determine an organization\\\'s innovation capacity: Knowledge Infrastructure, which encompasses the technological and cultural foundations that support knowledge sharing; Knowledge-Based Innovation Capacity, which reflects an organization\\\'s ability to transform knowledge into innovative outputs; Knowledge-Driven Innovation Processes, which detail the systematic approaches to knowledge integration in innovation development; and Knowledge-Centered Innovation Strategies, which align knowledge management initiatives with innovation objectives. This proposed integrated framework aims to address the existing theoretical gaps while providing a robust foundation for future empirical research on the optimization of knowledge management practices for enhanced organizational innovation. The study aims to offer practical implications for organizational leaders and managers, presenting actionable insights for developing sustainable competitive advantages through knowledge-based innovation. Furthermore, it may provide guidance for organizations seeking to assess and improve their knowledge management practices in support of innovation goals. The research aims to contribute to both theoretical understanding and practical application in the field, offering a structured approach to analyzing and enhancing the relationship between knowledge management and innovation performance in contemporary organizations.
