Knowledge Management for Innovation and Product Development in Supply Chains

  • Conference paper
Knowledge Discovery, Knowledge Engineering and Knowledge Management (IC3K 2012)

Abstract

New Product Development (NPD) has been viewed as critical to a firm’s competitiveness and development. This paper presents a theoretical framework that utilizes existing approaches to facilitate effective use of knowledge management techniques in the NPD process. The development of this framework is based on the integration of relevant theoretical fields such as supply chain management, and open innovation. More specifically, it has accurately reflected on the nature of existing knowledge management systems and captured the core issues of NPD in a three stage approach of knowledge audit, knowledge calibration and knowledge absorption.
