Abstract
In Jensen et al. (2007) we documented the existence of two different modes of learning and innovation in Danish firms. One, the DUI (doing, using, and interacting) mode, is based on informal processes of learning and experience-based know-how. The other, the STI (science, technology, and innovation) mode, is based on the production and use of codified scientific or technical knowledge. We also showed that firms which were able to combine these two modes (usually DUI firms that introduced elements of STI or STI firms that introduced elements of DUI) were more innovative than firms which relied on only one of the two modes.
