Abstract

The product innovation contains a series of knowledge activities, such as knowledge assimilation, conversion, creation and dissemination. Knowledge management is the crucial issue for the efficiency and quality of product innovation. In this paper, a knowledge fermenting (KF) model has been applied to analyze the process of product innovation. The key factors and feedback control of knowledge fermenting are investigated to construct a theoretical basis for better management of product innovation in the future.
