“…Because the cognitive effort made in codifying knowledge results in a richer and deeper understanding of the knowledge and the creation of new knowledge (Cowan et al, 2000;Zollo and Winter, 2002), ventures that have invested in patenting their knowledge should be a richer source of knowledge. In this way, patents are a credible signal of the quality of a firm's codified knowledge base (Cohendet and Meyer Krahmer, 2001) and "convey information about the lines of research a firm is conducting and how quickly the research is proceeding" (p. 646, Long, 2002). The extent to which a venture has patented its technical inventions thus reflects is depth of technological knowledge (Griliches, 1990).…”

“…These firms invest more in in-house R&D activities (Cohendet and Meyer-Krahmer, 2001;Veugelers, 1997) and can find in basic and applied research activities a way to increase firm's scientific knowledge base in the long-term (Rafferty, 2003). On the contrary, a characteristic of small firms is that of having a narrow knowledge base due to the limitations of resources they possess (Gopalakrishnan and Bierly, 2006).…”

“…As a consequence of this change in firms' behaviour, new priorities arise for innovation policy and thus it is important for policymakers to understand how firms generate and acquire new knowledge (this is how they build up their competences) and what benefits stem from these processes (Cohendet and Meyer-Krahmer, 2001). …”

AbstracThis study analysed the effect of R&D subsidies on strategic decisions taken by firms when faced by innovation. The traditional approach of evaluating the impact of these subsidies on the net figure of R&D expenditures does not enable us to establish how public financing influences decisions involving technological knowledge generation, nor the economic returns which could be derived from this process. The study analyses these effects taking into consideration the size of the firm, since it is a widely used variable in designing innovation policies. The study revealed that public funding, regardless of size, mainly stimulated investments aimed at gaining knowledge within the firm's technological domain, while it did not expand the technological knowledge frontier. The findings also show that subsidies only enhance the generation of incremental innovations in the case of small firms. The study concludes that the present approach to subsidies allocation is permitting the continuity of a certain strategic behaviour which specialises in leading the firm towards a quest for immediate results rather than constructing a sustainable competitive advantage.

“…), su comunicación y transferencia es menos dependiente del contexto en el que ha sido producido 2 y puede ser intercambiado en diferentes momentos y entre diferentes espacios (y soportes). Su mecanismo de adquisición y transferencia está asociado a procesos lógicos y adquiridos mediante la educación formal y estudios (ANCORI, BURETH, y COHENDET, 2000; COHENDET y MEYER- KRAHMER, 2001;JOHNSON, LORENZ, y LUNDVALL, 2002;LAM, 1997).…”

“…De esta manera, la codificación es un proceso recursivo y dinámico del conocimiento sobre el conocimiento mismo que tiene más probabilidades de suceder cuando se dispone de conocimiento acumulado (libro de códigos) y experiencia en aprender del conocimiento nuevo (COHEN y LEVINTHAL, 1990). En tanto proceso recursivo y acumulativo la codificación del conocimiento no está separada de sus condiciones de codificación, es decir, que es un proceso situado social, temporal y espacialmente (COHENDET y MEYER-KRAHMER, 2001;LAM, 2000), razón por la cual, expresa un sendero de aprendizaje único y difícilmente imitable. Una comunidad de conocimiento desarrolla sus capacidades de codificación en la medida en que desarrolla sus capacidades de aprendizaje colectivo.…”

Resumen:Las innovaciones sociales requieren incorporar conocimiento externo a sus prácticas y reutilizar el conocimiento producido en las diferentes prácticas que la propia innovación requiere. Para que este proceso de comunicación y transferencia suceda no es suficiente con disponer de un saber hacer (dimensión tácita) sino que es preciso codificar niveles de conocimiento (dimensión explícita). Así, la articulación de conocimiento en una comunidad innovadora es un proceso de codificación de conocimientos dispersos, articulando o asimilando sistemas de codificación.Palabras Clave: innovación social; comunicación; transferencia; conocimiento; codificación. Communication and Social Innovation Transfer.Codification and Knowledge Communities Abstract Successful social innovations require the incorporation of external knowledge as well as the transformation of the knowledge produced during the development of the innovations themselves. In order for this process of communication and transference to be properly conducted it is not sufficient to have the know-how (tacit dimension) but it also necessary to encode different levels of knowledge (explicit dimension). Thus the knowledge management in an innovative community is a process of encoding scattered knowledge, either articulating or assimilating coding systems.
