Knowledge Strategies of it Start-Ups
Knowledge management is widely recognized as an important managerial practice that has some positive implications on organizational sustainable competitive advantage. A plenty of studies indicated an importance of consideration of the knowledge management at the strategic level (Hansen et al., 1999; Zack, 1999; Donate and Canales, 2012). Most of studies on KM is done in huge firms (Nonaka and Takeuchi, 1995; Davenport and Prusak, 1998; Brown and Duguid, 2002). SMEs/entrepreneurial firms, in contrast, strongly lack of attention from KM researches. However, last years, different streams of research raise the question of managing knowledge in entrepreneurial firms. KM researchers consider a question of KM processes in SMEs, which in most cases have entrepreneurial nature. This kind of research provided some proof that knowledge is managed in SMEs, but it is found that SMEs follow more informal ways of managing knowledge (Hutchinson and Quintas, 2008). From the side of entrepreneurship studies there is also interest for investigation of KM in entrepreneurial firms (Blackburn and Kovalainen, 2009). In order to cover this gap I am investigating knowledge strategies of entrepreneurial firms that do their business in IT-industry and that are residents of business incubators
