| Abstract | Summary form only given as follows. Over the last few decades, scholars and researchers have been increasingly drawn to the study of innovative processes and, more generally, to issues relating to the creation and transfer of knowledge. This appeal stems from the growing need to combine a detailed analysis of how innovative processes really unfold with a theoretical framework that holds good at national, industry and firm level. (Nonaka and Takeuci, 1995) In order to accomplish such a challenging objective, the author proposes to revise the concept of size and, in particular, the large/small dichotomy which, if applied indiscriminately, may obscure important facts and can therefore be misleading. The paper discusses the assumption that there exist two 'ideal' but conflicting prototypes around which innovative processes and the creation of new knowledge are articulated: on one side is ranged the large firm or large organization, with its vast fund of resources and its store of gradually accumulated skills, both deemed to be crucial strengths; on the other side stands the small firm, with its gear-shifting flexibility and its mould-breaking boldness. By examining processes of decomposition and modularisation involving large firms, the author argues that things are no longer quite so clear-cut and that a new synthesis needs to be attempted. More specifically, the paper analyses experiments in production and research and development where small and large get combined by means of new (modular) organisational forms. Manufacturing cells and spin-offs-which are discussed in the paper through a case-study approach-are just two possible unconventional attempts to combine the strengths of seemingly alternative approaches to design and implementation. Such a new way of decomposing the organisational structure entails several consequences for the governance of the firm and demands to address several issues. |

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.
