Abstract The transformation into a full fledge innovative firm requires the firms to embrace, the concept of learning organisation. Transformation should be based on the premise that the foundation of good innovation is good knowledge. Furthermore, it is widely accepted that knowledge is a key component of the concept of learning organisation. Knowledge transfer which central to the innovation chain should be based on good knowledge which has been by appropriate method for measurement of knowledge. It is shown in this paper that assessment of knowledge should result in a better management of innovation. The paper proposes that good innovation strategies are always based on good knowledge and that in order to differentiate between which knowledge is good and which is useful or applicable for innovation, then knowledge must be first evaluated or assessed using an appropriate assessment method. The paper also shows that a method for assessing the attributes of knowledge should encompass nine important characteristics of knowledge.

Innovation Knowledge

The intensity and directions of knowledge flows between different actors are essential determinants in innovation. Knowledge acquisition is needed to find the relevant signals from markets, and knowledge sharing can facilitate benefits from network externalities and collaboration. A deeper understanding of the dynamics within knowledge transfer is, however, still needed. Thus, our goal is to clarify the effects of knowledge sharing on innovative performance. We test our model with a sample of 299 medium-sised and large Finnish companies. Our multi-way ANOVA results indicate that the level of innovation performance varies between the knowledge sources and the types of knowledge sharing.

The article is an introduction to the issues and results of a new trend in interdisciplinary research, which is integrated reporting. „Violated balance”, characteristic of contemporary global economy, forces us to seek solutions oriented to symbiosis between economic, social and environmental progress, which is the basis for fundamental changes in mental models that determine the way the economic organization oper-ates. On the basis of literature studies, as well as management (of innovation, knowledge, etc.) science studies and research on changes in legal regulations of accounting, one can venture to say that the change in accounting paradigms is an innovation which stems from legal requirements. Legislation stimulates conceptuality, including information management, standardization of accounting, etc. Innovation theory refers to technological, organizational and market changes, so a question ariseswhether this theory can be applied to accounting practices as well? In this way an idea emerged for inves-tigating the question if the implementation of legal regulations such as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the standards of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) is a manifestation of the inno-vation theory in the development of accounting systems, especially in reporting.

Industry Needs

Modern information and telecommunication technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving in time and there is a constant need for specialists, who have good knowledge to meet the industry needs. One way to perform industry specific knowledge transfer form industry to academia is to involve partner's specialist in teaching the courses. The aim of this paper is to introduce an example of course setup in teaching VoIP and IMS technologies for ICT students. We analyze the opportunities and limitations seen in organizing and teaching this course based on our 3-year experience. We also give some suggestions for developing the course when industry interest and support, due to the situation in economy and market, may change in time.

This study aims to understand better research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) and assess how they influence university-industry (U-I) collaboration empirically. Primary data were collected from a focus group consisting of representatives of universities and government entities from Portugal and Spain. Secondary European Union (EU) data on the application of smart specialization measures and the innovation in these two countries were also included. The results reveal difficulties in implementing RIS3, resulting in decreased investment in research and innovation in all production sectors. Evidence also pointed to the negative impact of smart specialization measures on U-I collaboration and, consequently, on the respective knowledge transfer.

This paper presents a framework for introducing effective knowledge transfer across departments and disciplines at all stages of a project lifecycle, with the aim of improving the process of asset integrity in the Third Millennium.The tools of building a learning organisation are presented as a starting point for promoting a knowledge management culture that recognises that most of the valuable information resides with the people and needs a mechanism for capture.All too often, vital information remains with key people on the job because they simply do not have a means to transfer that knowledge into a system.Asset integrity knowledge management provides a framework to identify the key stages in the life cycle of an asset and how to share and capture knowledge at all stages to lead to significant benefits in managing asset integrity.

Innovation Strategies

Current literature indicates a high rate of New Product Development (NDP) failure. Many believe that the main reason behind such failures is the way the NPD process is managed. This includes a lack of clear project definition, too much focus on internal processes and procedures ignoring customer needs and requirements, lack of communication and knowledge transfer among various people within the organization, etc. The current study provides an analytical tool in the form of a two dimensional matrix that maps various stages of the NPD process to the existing innovation strategies. This analytical tool can then be used by business analysts to assess the degree of innovativeness of various activities involved in NPD process, as a basis for enhancing the effectiveness of the overall product development initiatives.
