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.
