Abstract

Using intellectual resources available, to produce long-term competitive advantage in engineering design, requires evolution in the ways strategies are executed. This means linking effective knowledge management methods to business strategies, and strategies to operations. Intellectual resources management should not consider only individual or organizational factors, but the forms of social coalitions between these two resources. The goal of this paper is to apply existing knowledge management models with the experience of the authors, to recognize enabling factors for managing intellectual resources in engineering design. Models discuss the form, time, place and context in which the information and knowledge is shared and exploited.

Keywords: knowledge, intellectual resources, management, engineering design
