3. Nonaka and Nishiguchi discuss
the steps companies have taken to overcome barriers to knowledge sharing with
suppliers and competitors—coevolution and coopetition. Many textbooks on
knowledge management, however, caution firms to protect their intellectual
property thoroughly and carefully through noncompete agreements, patents,
nondisclosure agreements, and other legal means, indicating that loss of
intellectual property such as inventions, designs, processes, organizational
structures, and marketing plans can damage organizational competiveness as much
or more than losing capital equipment and other tangible assets. How is it
possible to reconcile these competing points of view?
