Abstract


Most of the value added in manufacturing, product service companies is created by knowledge-based service activities such as research and development, marketing research, product design, customer service, advertising, or distribution. Winning firms are organizations that most successfully master the business issues critical to their performance, and develop the most precise understanding of definitions of value and creation of value. Competitive advantage has a lot to do with leveraging the knowledge assets of the firm, while at the same time determining how competitors are likely to leverage theirs.
