Quali sono gli elementi organizzativi che consentono alla creativita di trasformarsi da potenziale in effettiva? Il presente lavoro mira a fornire una risposta a questi intriganti interrogativi, divenuti fondamentali nel nuovo paradigma dell’informazione e della conoscenza, in cui il sostenimento del vantaggio competitivo e sempre piu spesso legato alla capacita di garantire continuita innovativa. Le risposte vengono avanzate a partire da un’analisi interpretativa della letteratura sul tema della creativita e delle competenze dinamiche d’azienda e da un’analisi longitudinale di casi eccellenti di imprese nel settore della moda che fanno della capacita di rigenerazione continua delle proprie risorse di creativita la fonte del proprio vantaggio competitivo.

This paper addresses this issue conceptually, building on the assumption that it is distribution and usage of market knowledge which makes the difference in innovative competition. We build on two different streams of research: market orientation and market knowledge, and knowledge brokering. We show why the emergence of internal market knowledge brokers may enhance the opportunity of innovation for organizations. We distinguish four different types of internal brokers. This distinction is related to the typology of knowledge to be transferred between two internal parties and the cognitive distance between these parties. Conclusions and implication are drawn on how companies should manage these figures of internal brokers in order to favor the distribution and the usage of market knowledge on the edge of innovation.

Inevitabilmente viene sollevata la questione della insostenibilità della concorrenza internazionale, in particolare cinese, e della aggressività delle politiche di penetrazione. Le imprese italiane, da sempre abituate ad utilizzare la leva del prezzo come strumento competitivo fondamentale per sviluppare i mercati esteri, grazie alle svalutazioni competitive della lira, sono completamente spiazzate di fronte ad una concorrenza aggressiva e determinata.

However, strategic management researchers have challenged this thesis, by contending that market-driven innovations are only incremental, consist of minor changes of existing products and do not contribute to build a sustainable competitive advantage in the long term. Recent literature has tried to answer to this criticism, by suggesting that there are two different components of market orientation that can differently affect innovation performance. On the one hand, in fact, responsive market orientation is likely to produce incremental innovations, by being it focuses on expressed customer needs; on the other hand, proactive market orientation is more likely to produce radical innovati...
