SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
This book provides a theoretical perspective on the nature of organizationally relevant knowledge and indicates the kind of research that might generate empirically tested hypotheses to further the development of a knowledge-based theory of the firm. The authors provide both theory and a way of linking it to the real world, using the conceptual framework known as the information-Space, or I-Space.
