Abstract

We identify a set of metaknowledge-based activities that underpin the leveraging of organizational knowledge as a strategic resource. Using interpretive grounded theory methods, we examined how two large firms reproduced their knowledge assets while transferring and adapting them to new contexts of utilization. We found that the activities of reutilization and adaptation of such knowledge assets were supported and guided by specific types and functions of metaknowledge. Our findings offer a nuanced characterization of the role of metaknowledge in collaborative settings, and open a new perspective on the relationship between managerial cognition and metacognition and the foundations of dynamic capabilities.
