Abstract:

Managing knowledge successfully is key for an organization to increase its innovative potential. The InKTI method supports the improvement of knowledge transfers in product and production engineering. To ensure acceptance, applicability, and contribution to success in practice, it is necessary to validate the InKTI method. This paper focuses on evaluating the contribution to success in a Live-Lab study with student engineering teams. Based on the results two consecutive field studies have been conducted to evaluate not only the success but also support, and applicability of the InKTI method.
