Abstract
This chapter analyses the concept of collaborative knowledge management introducing a case study of an Italian firm, MOMA, the main actor of the network ‘Pole of Excellence on Knowledge’. This chapter illustrates MOMA’s vision, evolution, profile and business strategy.
Data were gathered from different sources: semi-structured interviews, field observation and archival material.
The case study presented is an original business model, where high tech is combined with innovative research. The formula guarantees innovation and product evolution and highly competitive services. MOMA’s specialist, distinctive competences are united and opportunely integrated with those of the other actors of its network.
