PurposeMany educators are increasingly acquainting themselves and becoming adept with interactive technologies like augmented reality and virtual reality. Some of them are also looking forward to using Metaverse applications, as they want to benefit from its immersive three-dimensional...

Organizations need to build and use knowledge to remain viable in the face of competition and change. Due to the limits of organization and the bounded rationality of individuals working within the organizations it is impossible to make all of the required knowledge accessible in explicit and...

Geographical clusters of innovative activity are mediums for the efficient transfer of tacit knowledge and its effective translation into innovation. Their force of attraction stems from their ability to lower variable costs in innovative processes. Lower variable costs are the result of...

Markets for knowledge are increasingly important to innovation, competitive advantage, and economic growth. This paper examines five distinct markets through which knowledge can be exchanged: the market for codified knowledge (licensing), the market for tacit knowledge (alliances), the market...

Research highlights the role of external knowledge sources in the recognition of strategic opportunities, but is less forthcoming with respect to the role of such sources during the process of exploiting or realizing opportunities. We build on the knowledge-based view to propose that realizing...

Journeys to a sustainable future have become important to industry, government and research. In this paper, we examine evolutionary, relational and durational perspectives on sustainability journeys. Each perspective emphasizes different facets of sustainability – shifts in selection...

The present paper proposes a new way of thinking regarding the relation between innovation and knowledge using a Physics-borrowed model, trying to prove whether knowledge resources can "flow" (be percolated) in a network or a grid, in order to be transformed in technological innovation. In the...

This study examines the relationship between knowledge management (KM) (in terms of external acquisition and internal sharing) and innovation behavior. The concept of absorptive capacity and assumptions from the dynamic capabilities view underlie the proposed framework and hypotheses. The...

This paper was written in full recognition of the fact that there has been little or no systematic research on the relation of monopoly and competition to invention/innovation and knowledge management under conditions of periodical monopolistic/imperfect competition and offers a novel approach...

The present paper investigates the barriers against the knowledge flows which are intended to produce innovation. The analysis is made at the at the individual, organisational and inter-organisational levels, underlining the importance of knowledge communication, collaboration and accumulation...
