摘要
This paper reports on a conceptual analysis of the role of tacit knowledge in innovation processes. The presentation will focus on foundations of tacit knowledge, how tacit knowledge is acquired and transferred, and how it is utilised in the innovation functions of small technology companies. The study hints that tacit knowledge can play an important role in the initial stages of the innovation processes of small technology enterprises. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
