This research is focused on Taiwan’s CNC machine industries for exploring the impacts of knowledge management on the performance of new product development. The influence of the characteristics of technological knowledge on knowledge management is also studied. The research was conducted mainly based on deep case studied. The research subjects include four R&D projects two which are selected from two companies of CNC machine industry.
The preliminary conclusions are as follows:
1. The more the R&D project knowledge is absorbed from different sources, wide ranges,
and multiple organizational learning activities, the better the performance of new product development would be.
2. The more the R&D project knowledge creates the technological breakthrough and the
newly added value, the better the performance of new product development would be.
3. The more the R&D project knowledge is accumulated with the documentation, the amass
of activities, and the core resourcefulness, the better the performance of new product development would be.
4. The more the R&D project knowledge is diffused in different patterns and activities, the
better the performance of new product development would be.
5. There exists a direct relationship between the knowledge management of R&D project and the degree of change of technological knowledge.
6. There exists a direct relationship between the knowledge management of R&D project and the degree of explicitness of technological knowledge.
7. There doesn’t exist a direct relationship between the knowledge management of R&D project and the degree of path dependence of technological knowledge path.
8. There doesn’t exist a direct relationship between the knowledge management of
R&D project and the degree of modualization of technological knowledge.
9. There exists a direct relationship between the knowledge management of R&D projects and the degree of complexity of technological knowledge.
As a result, it is suggested that the R & D departments of the companies possessed with different characteristics of technological knowledge should design the organizational
form and activities that are conformed to the characteristics of technological knowledge for facilitating the practices of knowledge management.
The internal technology inheritance and the external technology resource deployment
have to be executed ordinarily; and the appropriate resources as well as human power
shall be properly allocated in accordance with the different steps of new product
development with a view to intensifying the satisfactory result.
Key words: characteristics of technological knowledge; knowledge management;
new product development efficiency; Taiwan CNC machine industry;
