Innovation and production Management: Lessons from Algerian Industries

Abstract

The contribution of this thesis focuses on the study of the influence of Production Management on Innovation results based on Knowledge Management in the Algerian companies. We study the relationship between the different aspects of Innovation concepts; Production Management and Knowledge Management in the Algerian market. The importance of Knowledge Management and Innovation in the enterprise has been proved by many research. As both of the concepts are dominated by the majority of research trends and regarding the valuable influence on the different enterprise systems, we can notice that most production management model studies do not consider both concepts and the marketing concept. Defining a holistic production model is very hard regarding the extreme changes in the market, especially with the Covid-19 crisis. In such a situation, predicting the future circumstances and risk is impossible. The Algerian enterprises must double their efforts to survive in this complex environment. They have to develop more innovation and knowledge management systems to enhance production management and improve their relationship with their customers.
