Abstract

This paper captures the consolidation of the growing field of knowledge management in Japan and the West by bibliometric analyses, showing the importance of knowledge creation theory as a holistic view for overcoming the organisational dilemma of how to create knowledge and exploit it at the same time. Inductively developing the concepts of common ground and complementary specialisation, the paper shows similarities and differences between productive research communities in Japan and the West. Deeply rooted in epistemological traditions, the complementary specialisation in research activities offers opportunities through better integration of productive communities and dynamic knowledge creation.
