Competence Management in a Knowledge-intensive Company Under the Ajar Innovation Strategy

Abstract

The paper deals with the role of competence management in the development strategy of modern knowledgeintensive companies. The ajar innovation strategy, which assumes that different agents manage different stages of the life cycle of the same technology, encourages companies to manage changes in the formation of competencies and their implementation. In turn, between the formation and implementation of competencies, there are some institutional filters maintaining certain management decisions and blocking the implementation of others.
