“…According to Bierly and Chakrabarti (1996), internal knowledge creation occurs when members of the organization generate, transfer and integrate new knowledge within the boundaries of the firm. Internal knowledge creation capability entails the addition of new components in the firm's knowledge base through organizational creativity, experience, apprenticeship, experimentation, R&D, and problem solving (Bontis et al, 2002;Nonaka, 1994;Smith et al, 2005). It also covers renewal of the knowledge stock through firm's employees exchanging their existing knowledge and combining it in new ways (Danneels, 2008;Helfat and Peteraf, 2003;Rosenkopf and Nekar, 2001;Zollo and Winter, 2002).…”

HOW DOES ORGANIZATIONAL SIZE IMPACT ON KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION CAPABILITIES AND INCREMENTAL VERSUS RADICAL INNOVATION PERFORMANCE?ABSTRACT While prior studies recognise the importance of knowledge accumulation capabilities in innovation performance, current research has still failed to empirically identify its role with regard to different types of innovation performance. The objective of this paper is to address this knowledge gap and to explore the relationships between internal knowledge creation and absorptive capabilities, and radical and incremental innovation performance. The study also contributes to analyzing the complex effect that organizational size has in the whole innovation process, influencing its antecedents (internal knowledge creation capability and absorptive capability) as well as its outputs (incremental and radical innovation performance), as the literature has produced inconsistent results and the issue is subject to continuing debate. This study demonstrates that incremental innovation performance is positively affected by both knowledge accumulation capabilities and size. However, results show that only absorptive capability has a positive direct effect on radical innovation performance, whereas size has a negative non-significant effect on it. The effect of size on knowledge accumulation capabilities also turns out to be mixed. It appears to increase internal knowledge creation capability, but it does not affect the absorption of new external knowledge, and thus does not help to develop radical innovations.

“…In order to deliver consistently superior performance, the resources and skills managed by the organizations have to provide alternatives that can present themselves as value sources and flows (BONTIS, 2002). Thus, this study leads mainly through a scenario twisted by the concern upon the efficiency of the development of course offers, which leads to the perception of a high value added, focused on capabilities.…”

This research aimed to identify the drivers regarding performance and value creation in Higher Education Institutions (HEI). As theoretical framework, this study has used, as the concept of Value, the Intellectual Capital and the Financial Capital and respective application possibilities in Higher Education. The answers obtained came from Deans of a Brazilian private HEI, which offers educational services to a target public mostly represented by students from classes C and D. By means of the survey data, subjects were categorized into three clusters: Academic, Corporative and Operative. Each of these profiles provides a different view of the drivers that create value to the HEI's strategy and operations.

“…Galbraith, 1973). Since then, both elements (stocks and flows of knowledge) have been central issues in numerous research areas, such as the resource-based view (Barney 2001), the examination of capabilities (Eisenhardt and Martin, 2000;Zander and Kogut, 1995), the information view of new product development (Ancona and Caldwell, 1992) and organizational learning (Bontis, Crossan and Hulland, 2002;Huber, 1991). Stocks of knowledge are described as the accumulation of knowledge assets within a firm, while flows of knowledge represent the streams of knowledge that move between different parts of a firm, or between external agents and the firm, and that can be assimilated and transformed into stocks of knowledge (DeCarolis and Deeds, 1999).…”

Findings -A framework for conceptualising organizational forgetting. Moreover, the results of the case study analysis include a categorization of organizational forgetting and a set of propositions about their causes.Originality/value -Scientific research on knowledge management has focused on the processes of knowledge creation, use and transfer, but has devoted little attention to the processes of knowledge degradation and destruction.
