  Wellsprings of Knowledge focuses on the knowledge-creating activities and behaviors that managers guide, control, and inspire: developing problem-solving skills; experimenting to build for the future; integrating information across internal project and functional boundaries; and importing expertise from outside the firm. Since not all knowledge creates competitive advantage, the author helps managers understand what constitutes a core capability for their firm, and which non-strategic capabilities can be jettisoned or outsourced.
