“…As explained in the following Literature Review section, many reports have indicated the important role of tacit knowledge in radical innovation (Mascitelli, 2000;Zucker and Darby, 2001;Li et al, 2008) and explicit knowledge in incremental innovation (Gatignon et al, 2002;Garcia-Muina et al, 2009;Zhou and Li, 2012). This appears feasible because tacit knowledge is usually obtained through an expert's life-time experiences and therefore provides previously unknown insights (Liu, 2014;Mascitelli, 2000); such unexpected ideas are beneficial for radical innovation, which produces revolutionary changes (Mascitelli, 2000;Li et al, 2008;Shamsie and Mannor, 2013); and explicit knowledge, which is easily transferred and shared, can be efficiently applied to continuously improve existing knowledge (Hallin and Marnburg, 2008;Zack, 1999;Zhou and Li, 2012).…”
