Introduction Information, Knowledge and Appropriability

Jerome Davis

A chapter in Contemporary Management of Innovation, 2006, pp 203-207 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The three chapters in this part each in its own way sheds new or different light on information, knowledge and the appropriability puzzle, and their implications for the management of innovation. By ‘information’ in this context is meant knowledge of relevant details (in this case, details pertaining to the innovation). By knowledge is meant ‘a set of understandings used to make decisions or take actions vital to the company’. In terms of the management of innovations, knowledge can be defined as ‘that intellectual capital, which may be used as a strategic factor’ (see e.g., the definitions in Wikipedia,1 2004).
