Abstract

The purpose of this article is to introduce the concept of Enterprise knowledge capital, which explores how the enterprise combines and uses resources in the form of knowledge and information. It also facilitates the identification of internal and external stakeholders involved in the innovation process. Its study reveals the stakes related to its accumulation, use and appropriation. The first part of this paper gives a synthetic definition of knowledge capital, while linking it to current and related concepts. The second part presents its roles in the production process and the particular functions of information in this dynamic. In today's digital enterprise and industry 4.0, the collection, processing and use of information to enrich knowledge capital and accelerate innovation processes, while reducing costs, are key elements for enhancing competitiveness.
