Creating the balance between them is unique for every enterprise, for every respective management.
This research paper consists of the following parts: introduction, selected theoretical and empirical framework and conclusion.
The theoretical framework gives selected overview of the relevant researches in the field of knowledge management and innovation and their respective interrelation in new knowledge creation and commercialising of this new knowledge as innovation.
The empirical framework describes the research design and gives the selected results obtained through the research of selected enterprises based on Questionnaire that covers key parameters previously discussed in the theoretical framework. Research focus is measuring the existence, the exchange, the creation of knowledge within enterprises and its usage in terms of new product development and/or improved products of the respective enterprises.
