Abstract
Conventional wisdom holds that knowledge reuse is positive for firms and also scholarly work usually takes for granted that firms benefit from knowledge reuse (e.g. Langlois 1999; Markus 2001; Majchrak et al. 2004). Building on this premise, researchers have focused on exploring how firms can enhance the share of knowledge reused in their products and services, typically assuming implicitly that this is in the best interest of the firm (see Chapter 3 for a review of existing literature following this tradition).
