The literature of organizational knowledge reveals that companies can be regarded as knowledge-intensive systems (e.g. Newell et al., 2002). However, the epistemological assumptions have not been well clarified in this literature. Therefore, an attempt to improve the knowledge-based theory of a company is necessary here (Spender, 1996a).
