Abstract
I have already referred to the prominent role of knowledge for individuals, organizations, and society as a whole. Building on the theoretical framework of the knowledge-based view of the firm, this prominent role of knowledge, along with key issues related to the creation, sharing, transfer, and storage of knowledge, will be further explored in this chapter.
A knowledge-based theory of the firm differs from all previous theories in that it must grasp the un-understood. (Spender and Grant, 1996: 8)
