Abstract: The success of a company is increasingly dependent on the innovations and new knowledge it can create. The growing knowledge intensiveness of many industries emphasises the significance of the creation of new knowledge and organisational learning. Learning has become more important than ever before, when companies try to find the fit between their operations, their products and the changing business environment. In the context of learning and knowledge creation, systems thinking is currently widely recognised as an area of growing importance particularly within the area of innovation research. Only few papers that dealt directly with this specific issue were found in the current literature.

Keywords: systems thinking; innovation; organisational learning; generative learning; learning barriers; complexity; new product development; NPD; knowledge creation. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
