Study goals
To investigate how structured knowledge management practices and advanced collaborative technological tools integrate knowledge among consortium members temporarily with heterogeneous levels of knowledge in the DREX pilot.
Relevance / originality
This study highlights the originality of empirically analyzing knowledge management in temporary consortia in the submission process of Phase 2 of the DREX pilot, demonstrating how structured practices and collaborative tools promote knowledge integration in ephemeral and complex contexts.
Methodology / approach
Qualitative descriptive multiple case study. Analysis of two DREX pilot consortia through semi-structured interviews with participants. Data triangulation based on theoretical propositions grounded in the literature.
Main results
Structured KM practices and simple collaborative tools facilitate interorganizational integration. Initial in-person meetings build trust. Google Docs, WhatsApp, and Slack accelerate knowledge sharing in temporary contexts.
Theoretical / methodological contributions
Extension of the SECI model to temporary interorganizational arrangements. Validation of the “Ba” concept in collaborative digital environments. Framework for knowledge management in technological innovation consortia with tight deadlines.
Social / management contributions
Practical guidelines for forming financial innovation consortia. Guidance for managers on effective knowledge management tools and practices in temporary collaborative projects with high technical specialization.
