Abstract

In recent times, knowledge has become the major driving force for economic development through free trade and competition. In the process, the global economy got gradually transformed into a knowledge-based economic system. Since knowledge is considered as a critical strategic resource, its development and utilization has become a matter of major concern to all analysts. It is in this context, the present paper derives its relevance and utility. It is being increasingly realized that competition is not fought in the market places but in the R&D Labs, which are said to be the factories of ideas (or knowledge in general) while the markets are their testing grounds. Keeping this in mind, the paper attempts to analyze the nature and significance of the dynamics of knowledge development and also the role and significance of idea generation and its ideation modes, to gain competitive advantage.

A brief account of autopoietic epistemology is given in Georg Von Krogh, Johan Roos and Ken Slocum, "An Essay on Corporate Epistemology", Strategic Management Journal, Vol 15, 1994, pp. 53-71. According to this approach, ideas breed ideas and knowledge breed knowledge. This inherent feature could be due to the ever increasing epistemic base by which the capacity to produce knowledge increases; the outcomes of which go to increase the base. In a sense, this implies self-generating processes. This logic can be extended to the innovative systems leading ultimately to the continuous growth processes.
