Effects of technological innovation on knowledge acquisition inside the organiz...
Silva, Dorotéa; Romero, Fernando; Vieira, Filipa DionísioThis paper examines the effect(s) of technological innovation in companies’ key relationships on knowledge acquisition and knowledge exploitation.

Building on evaluation models that assume stages and decision moments, we propose a complement to those models by suggesting specific methodologies, tools and criteria that seem to be appropriate for each specific stage. The research was based on a structured inquiry on the evaluation practices of thirty three firms from...
