Technology-based firms continue to compete primarily on innovation,
and are continuously required to present new solutions to an
exacting market. As technological complexity and specialization
intensifies, firms increasingly need to integrate and co-ordinate
knowledge by means of project groups, diversified organizations,
inter-organizational partnerships, and strategic alliances.
Innovation processes have progressively become interdisciplinary,
collaborative, inter-organizational, and international, and a
firm's ability to synthesize knowledge across disciplines,
organizations, and geographical locations has a major influence on
its viability and success.
This book demonstrates how knowledge integration is crucial in
facilitating innovation within modern firms. It provides original,
detailed empirical studies of prerequisites, mechanisms, and
outcomes of knowledge integration processes on several
organizational levels, from key individuals, projects, and internal
organizations, to collaboration between firms. It stresses the need
to understand knowledge integration as a multi-level phenomenon,
which requires a broad repertoire of organizational and technical
means. It further clarifies the need for strong internal
capabilities for exploiting external knowledge, reveals how costs
of knowledge integration affect outcomes and strategic decisions,
and discusses the managerial implications of fostering knowledge
integration, providing practical guidance and support for managers
of knowledge integration in high-technology enterprises.
