Abstract :
Knowledge and knowledge sharing are an important facet of innovative activities. This paper aims to investigate knowledge creation in innovation context and presents the construct of using the supported scenario process as a venue of facilitating knowledge creation in innovation related activities. The process is outlined and tested empirically to investigate whether scenarios offer help in facilitating innovation through knowledge sharing and creation. The testing suggests that the supported scenario process has properties which support knowledge sharing.
