| Abstract | Summary form only given. This paper presents the findings of a study aimed at investigating the influence that some factors, describing the cognitive, social, and management environment during technical problem-solving, have on the generation of new knowledge in small manufacturing firms. In a previous study we have examined the direct impact of these factors upon knowledge generation. Here we examine the mediated impact of factors upon knowledge generation. Using path analysis we examine an a priori theoretical model of influences of some constructs on knowledge generation. Ninety-one cases of technical problem solving that occurred during product innovation within 35 small firms were studied. Two key findings arise from our study, each adding substantially to the understanding of how knowledge is created in small firms during technical problem-solving and to the impact that some management practices and social behaviors adopted in the organization have on the amount and quality of knowledge created. First, the hypothesized model explains the logical process of knowledge creation during innovation in small firms moderately well, supporting what literature says about the generation of knowledge within organizations. Our second key finding is that the hypothesized model puts emphasis on the subtle relationship existing among uncertainty, ambiguity and the adoption of practices and behaviors aimed at reducing them. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
