Keeping Creativity & Innovation Going in Knowledge Organizations
As knowledge organizations succeed and grow, they operate by subordinating
innovation to products and markets. Their new strategy is guided by the goal
to capitalize on the strengths of their successful product(s) or to attain
certain market positions. This is how they evolve from knowledge organizations
to traditional organizations and are set on a path to slow growth. To allow
for continuing growth, we will model a possible life cycle and operating
characteristics by drawing examples from various knowledge organizations and so
provide alternative strategies to keep creativity and innovation humming.
