Abstract

It has been argued that strategic alliances offer opportunities for using purposive inflows and outflows of knowledge to accelerate cooperative innovation. In this introductory article, we seek to identify the means by which knowledge fusion helps create new knowledge and technological innovations. By analyzing the previous researches in terms of fusion and collaboration, we summarize the approaches of knowledge fusion based on IT application. Meanwhile, we also give effectiveness mechanisms and brief agenda for research in this important area. This study offers deep theoretical and managerial insights for firms and other institutions to manage knowledge fusion in strategic alliances.
