Knowledge Flows Through Unbounded Innovation

Abstract

Beyond the boundaries of the organizations, they act fearlessly to adopt open innovation tactics and models in order to gain access to the necessary resources. In open innovation, “open” refers the sharing of organizational tacit knowledge. Knowledge management is essential in organizations because it promotes the development of a successful organizational business model and makes a difference in completing various organizational tasks and forms that may lead to the discovery of new knowledge. This journey starts from the flow of information and takes organizations toward innovation that has no boundaries. For this reason, the research question involves the kind of relationship that exists between knowledge flow and open innovation. This chapter aims to illustrate the importance of knowledge flow through unbounded innovation, particularly the correspondence between aspects of knowledge management and open innovation.
