Knowledge processing and ecosystem co-creation for process innovation: Managing joint knowledge processing in process innovation projects

David Sjödin · 2018 · International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal

Summary. Firms pursuing process innovation must manage knowledge sharing across ecosystems of suppliers and customers. This study of nine industrial firms identifies three technological challenges—complexity, novelty, and customization—that create knowledge-processing demands. The research shows that joint problem-solving, open communication, and end-user involvement enable ecosystem partners to navigate these demands successfully. Procurement strategies that emphasize contracting and relationship development facilitate effective knowledge processing across partners.
