Book Description
The knowledge and innovation are considered as the essential sources of the competitive advantage of companies. Thus, the strategy based on knowledge and innovation is crucial for sustaining their competitive advantage. The objective of this study is to propose an approach of Knowledge Management (KM) for innovation in design and build a computer system on the approach in order to help the designers to innovate more efficiently. For obtaining our objective, we model the mechanism of KM for innovation with a systemic knowledge model of content and context, a meta-model and a macro process of KM. we build a networking process of innovation and a state transition model of design integrating the KM activities. In order to operationalize the approach of KM for innovation, a hierarchical model is constructed by integrating the metamodel and macro process of KM with the processes of innovation and design. For demonstrating the functionalities and applicability of the proposed approach, a software prototype based on the approach is developed and applied in an industrial case study.
