Strategies for the Knowledge Management in Value Co-Creation of Industrial Services
During the value co-creation process, organizations share several resources with their partners, including knowledge. This intangible resource is essential for innovations development, which ensures companies' competitiveness. However, the knowledge transfer across organizational boundaries exposes companies to some risks. Thus, this study aims to examine which KM strategies for value co-creation in industrial services have been presented in the literature. To achieve this goal, first, the authors carried out a systematic literature review (SRL). Then, the resulting portfolio was analyzed following the content analysis proposed by Bardin. From this analysis, it was feasible to identify four KM strategies for value co-creation in industrial services. Among them, adoption of information systems showed a higher frequency. Based on these study findings, it is possible to broaden the knowledge of factors that influence KM in value co-creation and offer advice to managers on how to manage the knowledge shared among firms that jointly create value.
