Abstract

In light of the fast-paced technological changes, businesses have become increasingly knowledge-intensive. They face the challenges of discerning blurred organisational boundaries amongst the inter-organisational relationships and throughout supply chains, reconfiguring the existing control mechanisms, integrating diversified resources and specialised knowledge, as well as coordinating inter-organisational collaboration in time and space. Integrating highly specialised knowledge across national borders and organisational boundaries requires firms to enhance their capabilities to deploy resources and coordinate activates in line with any intended micro-structural changes. And creating trustworthiness is pivotal for efficient flow of tacit dimension of knowledge at the boundaries of inter-partner or inter-organisational relationships. Any innovative activities require collaborative processes of organisational learning and trusting relationships that will result in enhancing interdependence and mutual expectations.
