Abstract
The majority of empirical studies to fully achieve these aims the paper addresses the following specific objectives (1) to derive a working definition of Cl; (2) to derive a working definition of innovation.; (3) to conduct a literature review to ascertain if there appears to be a theoretical context within which Cl and innovation can be considered as complementary; (4) to derive innovation and flexibility, including innovation and employment flexibility, and (5) to conduct a research survey with SMEs to assess if CI and innovation, and employment flexibility are in some way related and to show how SMEs can progress beneficially and strategically along this road. The study involved both qualitative and quantitative research methodology. The research involved the collection of two types of data - qualitative data was obtained from the interviews with the Managing Directors and Management Teams. Quantitative measurement with this questioner was done towards all employees through census (total population) This research findings in this paper have indicated that there appears to be a strong link between CI (Continuous Improvement), innovation and flexibility for SME. This has particular implications for universities involved in knowledge transfer, as these institutions are often relatively remote compared with other sources of advice within SME networks. The research adds to our understanding continuous improvement and flexibility for innovation to enhance Indonesian business competitive advantage, especially of the role of SMEs.
