| Research Abstract |
This research aims to analyze the technological knowledge-creation process within a firm in Pre-world War II and finds the following facts.(1) The duties of engineers, who graduated from higher education institution, were to create quantitative information about artifact and to supervise workers. In their performing the former, engineers made use of"knowing how"they had learned at school.(2) Workers, using skills through experience on the job, created unique technological information that engineers could not do.(3) Engineers and workers were in a complementary relation for technological knowledge creation.
