Technology innovation and knowledge management in the high-tech industry

This study presents a comprehensive and integrated discussion of the various facets of technology innovation and Knowledge Management (KM) for high-tech firms. KM represents a key contemporary trend and is a key management discipline in decision making, strategy development, information systems and technology management. KM provides a broad perspective, an efficient method of problem-solving, sharing managerial knowledge and leveraging technological knowledge. This work focuses mainly on influences that might shape the future of knowledge-based technological innovation in the knowledge economy, particularly, the influence of knowledge activities. Accordingly, it is important to provide some brief perspectives on the development of technological innovation and KM.
