Knowledge generation and diffusion in the German wind energy industry
研究了合作创新项目如何促进知识生成并融入产业知识库，通过德国风能产业的三个案例识别出六种互动关系，对理解产业创新与知识扩散有帮助。
Abstract This paper shows that collaborative innovation projects (CIPs) are an important arena for both knowledge generation and its incorporation into the industrial knowledge base (IKB). By differentiating between the cultural-cognitive, normative, and regulative dimensions of technology generation and diffusion, we describe interdependencies between CIPs and IKBs. On the basis of three vignettes from the German wind energy industry, six interrelations (translation, imitation, structuring devices, consolidation, strategic closure, and strategic inertia) are identified on how CIPs contribute to IKBs.
