Abstract
Chinese enterprise structure has completed the transformation from the dominant position of large enterprises to the structure of diversification pattern. The number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) occupies the dominant position in the structure. The innovation development of SMEs in remote areas has always been the focus of the Chinese government. There is very little academic research on the factors affecting the innovation of SMEs in remote areas. Therefore, the purpose of this article is to present the contributions of human resource management to create innovation based on previous literature. Based on the propositions, recommendations for future research on this theme are presented.
