The search of new knowledge in the firm’s innovation process: a literature review
Abstract
We propose an examination of the current literature on innovation, taking into account, specifically, the concept of knowledge diversity and knowledge recombi- nation. We analyze bibliometric data using the software VOSviewer and we derive indications on the principle analyzed research fields, where they come from and in what directions they are going.
