Knowledge Management in Global Technology Markets: Applying Theory to Practice

Martin J. Carter

Chapter 14 in The Changing Global Context of International Business, 2003, pp 322-340 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It has been known for centuries that the appropriate use of knowledge is a critical determinant of effective organization. During the 1990s however, discussion of knowledge in the management and economics literatures changed. Ideas concerning knowledge were once the concern of scholars seeking theoretical explanations of organizational structures and practices. We now see that practice is making use of theory in new and interesting ways. Ideas which explain strategic success are being used to design strategies to improve the firm’s ability to capture more of the potential value from the knowledge they and their members have, or can acquire.
