Vision, 2005, vol. 9, issue 4, 51-63

Abstract: Literature on medium sized enterprises (MSEs) is limited both in developed markets and emerging markets. This paper addresses this gap and explores MSEs from a knowledge-based perspective. Grounded in the case based research often MSEs, the paper identifies the knowledge assets employed by highly successful firms. The paper performs a detailed case analysis of three such firms from our sample. We trace the knowledge generation process through a detailed line diagram and based on the case analysis, build a generic model for analyzing the knowledge conversion process in MSEs. The contribution of this work is articulated in the process model that integrates the various classes of knowledge assets in the context of transitional firms in India. The paper also develops a few empirically testable propositions, filling a major gap in existing literature on knowledge management.
