| Abstract: | Today, firms are facing many contradictions: efficiency versus creativity, exploitation vs. exploration, speed vs. time-consuming resource building. This paper argues that a firm's capability to synthesize such contradictions is the key to understanding why a firm can be more efficient at producing knowledge than market. A firm can create new knowledge and capability that go beyond the balancing point in the existing frontier with its synthesizing capability, which is embedded in its knowledge vision etc. |
