Abstract: Serendipity leads to discoveries and innovative knowledge. Mergers and acquisitions also make available knowledge, which can give new directions and impetus to the innovative R%D activities. Organisations dealing with the development of improved new products continuously use KM extensively for promoting their R%D work. In fact cross-national culture differences disappear in KM practices. Higher educational and research institutes are exploiting KM in their knowledge generation and dissemination pursuits where R%D, consultancy or sponsored project work is performed routinely. KM and R%D are inseparable and KM speeds up R%D work.

Keywords: knowledge management; research and development; R%D; innovation; cross-national cultures; higher education; businesses; M%A; mergers and acquisitions; continuous product development; research institutes; knowledge generation; knowledge dissemination; consultancy; sponsored projects.
