Book Managing Knowledge  Absorptive Capacity And Innovation

Download or read book Managing Knowledge Absorptive Capacity And Innovation written by Joe Tidd and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2021-05-05 with total page 551 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge Management focuses on identifying, sharing, storing, and exploiting internal knowledge, whereas Open Innovation is more concerned with sources of external knowledge. However, this simple dichotomy between open and closed approaches is unhelpful and not realistic. Instead, it is the interaction between internal and external knowledge that creates dynamic capabilities and the ability to innovate. In particular, we need to better understand the interactions between internal and external knowledge, and how these influence innovation outcomes under different conditions. This edited volume, Managing Knowledge, Absorptive Capacity, and Innovation, provides an opportunity to combine contemporary interests in Open Innovation with the classic notion of absorptive capacity, to better understand how organisations can manage the absorption and exploitation of inbound external sources of knowledge in order to innovate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Capability, Knowledge, and Innovation: Strategies for Capability Development and Performance The analyses reveal that companies use one of three strategies organization, project team or mixed to develop the capability to mobilize knowledge and create new knowledge for innovation. Companies that follow the organization strategy develop their employees such that the organization-level processes that support innovation are generated regardless of when they are used in the process of innovation. Companies that follow the project team strategy develop their employees only as needed in the process of innovation. Companies that use the mixed strategy develop their personnel at both levels. The mixed strategy is associated with higher performance in terms of the capability developed and financial performance, followed by the project team and the organization strategy.

Book Methods and Tools for Effective Knowledge Life Cycle Management

Download or read book Methods and Tools for Effective Knowledge Life Cycle Management written by Alain Bernard and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 580 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Knowledge Management is a wide, critical and strategic issue for all the com- nies, from the SMEs to the most complex organizations. The key of competiti- ness is knowledge, because of the necessity of reactivity, flexibility, agility and innovation capacities. Knowledge is difficult to measure itself but what is visible, this is the way of improving products, technologies and enterprise organizations. During the last four years, based on the experience of most of the best experts around the World, CIRP (The International Academy for Production Engineering) has decided to prepare and structure a Network of Excellence (NoE) proposal. The European Community accepted to found the VRL-KCiP (Virtual Research La- ratory – Knowledge Community in Production). As its name indicates it, the aim of this NoE was really to build a «Knowledge Community in Production ». This was possible and realistic because the partners were representative of the most important universities in Europe and also because of strong partnerships with laboratories far from Europe (Japan, Australia, South Africa, USA, etc...). Based on such powerful partnership, the main issue was to help European manufacturing industry to define and structure the strategic knowledge in order to face the strategic worldwide challenges. Manufacturing in Europe currently has two essential aspects: 1. It has to be knowledge intensive given the European demands for high-tech products and services (e.g. electronics, medicines).

Book Knowledge Management and Innovation

Download or read book Knowledge Management and Innovation written by Pierre Barbaroux and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2016-07-18 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the relationships between knowledge management (KM) processes and innovation management. The geographical extension of markets and intensification of competition have led firms to experiment with novel approaches to innovation. New organizational forms emerged in which firms collaborate with various stakeholders to create, absorb, integrate and protect knowledge. This book explores how knowledge management processes evolve with firms' implementation of interactive, collaborative and open innovation models and it identifies the various knowledge types and processes involved throughout the different phases of the innovation process. The authors provide operational typologies for understanding innovative firms' capabilities and knowledge management practices and also discuss the main properties of four models of interactive innovation, namely open innovation, user-centric innovation, community-based innovation and crowdsourcing.

Book Knowledge Based Dynamic Capabilities

Download or read book Knowledge Based Dynamic Capabilities written by Vaneet Kaur and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a knowledge-based view to the dynamic capabilities in an organization. The author integrates two existing views on gaining competitive advantage: the Knowledge View which suggests that the capability of organizations to learn faster than competitors is the only source of competitiveness; and the Dynamic Capability View which speculates that a firm’s competitive advantage rests on dynamic capabilities which enable a firm to constantly renew the stock of ordinary organizational capabilities in accordance with the changes in the business environment. Using the IT sector in India as a case study, this book provides and tests a new framework--Knowledge-Based Dynamic Capabilities—in the prediction of competitive advantage in organizations.

It is a good reference source for academics, graduate students and professionals in the field of innovation management.

Book Dynamic Capabilities

Download or read book Dynamic Capabilities written by Constance E. Helfat and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-02-09 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Creating, adapting to, and exploiting change is inherently entrepreneurial. To survive and prosper under conditions of change, firms must develop the “dynamic capabilities” to create, extend, and modify the ways in which they operate. The capacity of an organization to create, extend, or modify its resource base is vital. Since the concept of dynamic capabilities was first introduced, much research has elaborated the initial idea. This important book by Constance Helfat and her team of leading scholars provides a timely focus on in-depth examples of corporate dynamic capabilities. Examining these in the different contexts of alliances, acquisitions, and management, the book gives students and researchers a succinct, up-to-date definition of dynamic capabilities and the strategic management theories around them.

Book Organizational Capabilities  Knowledge  and Innovation

Download or read book Organizational Capabilities Knowledge and Innovation written by Chhomroth Annique Un and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this thesis I analyze the way in which companies develop the capability to mobilize and create knowledge for innovation. This capability is crucial to achieve and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage. In order to conduct this analysis, I link and integrate three bodies of literature -the literature on resource-based theory of the firm, team-level studies of innovation, and organization-level studies of innovation to provide an integrated view of how companies develop the capability to innovate and how this relates to their performance. The empirical analysis was conducted in two phases, in order to develop an empirically grounded and generalizable theory. In the first phase, in order to understand "how" companies develop this capability, I conducted a comparative multiple case study of twenty-four cross functional innovation teams in three companies. The result of this analysis was a general framework for the development of the capability to mobilize and create knowledge for innovation. From this I drew eight propositions regarding what companies do at the organizational level and at the project team level when organizing for innovation. In the second phase, I analyzed these propositions and examined which specific factors and strategies have a greater influence on this capability in a sample of 182 cross-functional innovation teams belonging to 38 companies. The innovation teams were selected from the largest customer service center of each firm. They were formed with the objective of using market knowledge about their products and services to innovate in response to customer preferences. In addition to innovation, I analyzed other outcomes of this capability, such as efficiency in terms of resources used, effectiveness in terms of customer satisfaction and speed-to-market of the innovation, and learning. The results of the tests and their theoretical and practical implications are listed below. grouped by level of analysis: Capability development at the project team level. Capability development at the organizational level. Linking project team-level and organization-level capability development. Overall, this thesis expands and integrates three bodies of literature to provide an integrated view of how companies develop the capability to mobilize and create knowledge for innovation. In terms of the resource-based theory of the firm, this study shows how companies develop this capability. In terms of the team-level innovation literature. the mirror image between project team-level processes and their organization-level processes suggests that teams should not be analyzed in isolation from their organization-level processes. In terms of the organization-level innovation literature, especially the differentiation-integration framework. facilitators of knowledge mobilization, i.e., communication, can also be developed as needed at the project team level when teams organize for innovation. Furthermore, this thesis provides recommendations for specific strategies and practices that managers can follow to develop this capability both at the organizational level, regardless of when they organize for innovation, and at the project team level. when firms organize for innovation in order to achieve a sustainable competitive advantage.
