Real-world applications often require the joint use of datadriven and knowledge-based models. While data-driven models are learned from available process data, knowledge-based models are able to provide additional information not contained in the data. In this contribution, we propose a method to divide the input space on the basis of the validity ranges of the knowledge-based models. By doing ...

Knowledge Acquisition (KA) Scripts capture typical modification sequences that users follow when they modify knowledge bases. KA tools can use these Scripts to guide users in making these modifications, ensuring that they follow all the ramifications of the change until it is completed. This paper describes our approach to design, develop, and organize a library of KA Scripts. We report the res...

We will neglect so called quasi-problems of knowledge management, such as: group knowledge, organizational memory or organizational learning. The thing that is not a quasi-problem, but is not considered at all is the question: How much influence does the group/organization have on expert/decision makers learning? This question could be also examined using knowledge-based system, similarly as Ko...

Research summary: When faced with a new technological paradigm, incumbent firms can opt for internal development and/or external sourcing to obtain the necessary new knowledge. We explain how the effectiveness of external knowledge sourcing depends on the properties of internal knowledge production. We apply a social network lens to delineate interpersonal, intra-firm knowledge networks and cap...

Introduction The role of knowledge in firm strategy and performance is well documented in the literature. There are numerous theoretical and empirical studies examining the relationship between knowledge and firm performance. The essence of these studies is that the higher the level of knowledge acquired or accumulated, the greater the level of firm innovation and performance. For example, Lieb...

The concept of knowledge has gained in interest since industrialized economics have induced a shift in importance from labor, capital and natural resources towards intellectual resources. This study investigates how the management of knowledge influences the innovation performance of a firm. While former studies mainly focused on knowledge management cycles, we distinguish different types of kn...

Abstract The new knowledge intensive direction of technological change is magnified at the firm level by limited exhaustibility knowledge. This triggers cumulability and extensibility for which larger firm, lower generation costs from using a stock existing knowledge, exploitation related to output based on use same piece consequences are twofold. First, size, share intangible capital in total ...
