Abstract: The aim of this work is to develop a dynamic conceptual model to assess and to assist entrepreneurial knowledge management and sustainable opportunity creations. The conceptual model is backed by a theoretical framework drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV) of the firm, the knowledge-based view of the firm, and entrepreneurship. The model employs the following elements: tacit and explicit knowledge; and internal, semi-internal and external knowledge reservoirs. Further, gate-keeping and processes concerning the identification of requisite knowledge, the attraction and exploitation of this knowledge, and finally, the mechanisms to protect the firm's knowledge reservoirs, are central elements. The model can be used in different scenarios, explaining and guiding a firm's challenges regarding achieving competitive advantage.

Keywords: entrepreneurship; resource-based theory; RBT; knowledge management; knowledge reservoirs; business knowledge; sustainable opportunity creation; resource-based view; RBV; competitive advantage. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
