Аннотация:Abstract: The research goal is to investigate the specificity of activities of
startup entrepreneurial teams that co-develop new product concepts with
stakeholders.
We identified a specific pattern of knowledge conversions/transferring
through observations of collaborative activities, followed by questionnaires
and interviews with members of the entrepreneurial team.
The research pool comprised eleven entrepreneurial teams of 4-6 members
each. The predominant objects of conversions and transferring among the
entrepreneurial team members and external stakeholders were identified as
tacit knowledge types: know-how (what, why), insights, intuition, attitudes,
beliefs (as a type of attitudes), and entrepreneurial vision. Types of conversions and transferring were the same in all the teams but the application of
managerial tools (facilitating means) that allowed transferring/conversions
varied. The identified specificity of knowledge processing could be used to
optimize those tools/methods by elaborating specific measurable criteria of
how efficiently tacit knowledge was transferred and converted.
