Inter-project learning: processes and outcomes of knowledge codification in project-based firms

摘要

In this paper, we argue that the literature o knowledge codification has been overly concerned with the economic properties of its outcomes, neglecting the importance of its underlying learning processes. Following Zollo and Winter [Organisation Science, 2001, in press], the paper distinguishes three learning processes: experience accumulation, knowledge articulation And knowledge codification and suggests a framework to analyse the learning abilities of project-based firms.
