Abstract

One of the most important discoveries of our time is that knowledge opens the way, not only to economic development, but also to business and corporate success. While a small group of academics and other scholars has always coherently emphasized the relevance of knowledge assets, only recently there has been general agreement upon the fact that this is the crucial issue. Actually, some may assert that it still has to emerge completely. The truth is that many have simply failed to offer a correct vision of the way firms and management are affected by the increasing importance of knowledge assets, so expectations are seldom satisfied and the common perceptions of their potential in family business are misleading. The rationale of our reasoning is that knowledge cannot be considered regardless of the process through which it is achieved. This premise needs to be integrated by the analysis of the cognitive capabilities of the agents and the organizational context in which they interact, as well as the different kinds of knowledge required to process knowledge itself.
