| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The foundations of knowledge as economic input were clarified (Magnier-Watanabe, 2014). Knowledge should be treated and managed as an economic factor of production on par with land, labor, and capital. The proposed model of knowledge based on breadth and depth can be applied by the firm to assess its existing stock of knowledge, spot knowledge gaps and examine the cost to fill them, and identify core knowledge worth safeguarding.
The second major finding is the mediating role of both tacit and explicit knowledge in translating management innovation into increased firm performance (Magnier-Watanabe and Benton, 2017). This highlights the need for management innovation (HR incentives for instance) which first considers the type of knowledge needed to enhance performance.
