Description

Using a series of 12 historical case studies that are based on extensive archival research, this book explains why firms succeed or fail in communicating, transferring knowledge and discovering new expertise. By analyzing how workable trade-offs between opposing forces have been achieved in the past, this study provides a set of guidelines for executives who embark upon inter-firm projects.
