摘要
The division of labour encourages the development of differentiated knowledge, and therefore of distinctive capabilities, which are 'knowledge how' rather than 'knowledge that' - a distinction akin to that between technology and science. The consequent problems of co-ordination may be handled by access or control, which suggests a choice between markets or firms; but market relationships must be managed, and no person can know enough to control a complex firm, 'Managing capabilities' is itself a capability, and must be limited by differences between knowledge bases, which may be acute even when capabilities are closely complementary.
