Abstract

Ideas and inventions are at the centre of innovation, and these in turn are significantly influenced by knowledge. Knowledge is thus a prerequisite for innovation: the generation, exploitation and manipulation of new forms of knowledge by firms to create new products. There are two main sources of knowledge for innovation that impact innovation differently: internal and external sources.
