Abstract

Knowledge becomes a crucial production factor that is traditionally sourced from individuals and groups within a firm. In a globalised economic world with products and services of growing complexity, firms are challenged to depend on external knowledge. Hence, knowledge becomes an asset that can be exchanged as traditional goods. Currently knowledge exchanges are manufactured on demand. The key question is how digital media can efficiently and effectively support knowledge exchanges in economic situations. We will discuss a generic framework for knowledge trading media (KMT) that homogeneously integrates economic transactions and generic digital services. With this reference model, a means is provided by which knowledge trading can be intentionally designed and analysed.
