KHOTA, I.A.  y  PRETORIUS, L.. Embedded innovation - Strategic management incubators for knowledge hegemony. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2008, vol.19, n.1, pp.105-118. ISSN 2224-7890.

Global competitiveness and category leadership is the strategic challenge for South African innovators over the next decade. Within the context of engineering management, this research identifies the strategic drivers and corporate positioning necessary to meet this challenge and to create a vibrant manufacturing and innovation landscape leading to wealth for South African stakeholders. Focusing on the product life-cycle, the research identifies 'incubators of competitive advantage' within the areas of context-management, resource-management, and opportunity-management. The aim is to establish an organisational paradigm relating to the creation of intellectual capital and to knowledge management within these arenas, as sources of innovation and competitive advantage.
