BARIERRS AND SOLUTIONS IN THE KNOWLEDGE FLOW PERCOLATION MODEL

Abstract

The present paper investigates the barriers against the knowledge flows which are intented to produce
innovation. The analysis is made at the at the individual, organisational and inter-organisational levels, underlining
the importance of knowledge communication, collaboration and accumulation in assuring the percolation of knowledge
and making the grid of our model more and more fertile and able to support innovation. The paper also identifies some
solutions to decrease the identified barriers.
