Furthermore, another trend can be recognized, which points out that employees change their position more often in an organization. Both trends, multidisciplinarity and a higher fluctuation lead to the consequence that it is necessary to explicate and share knowledge. Therefore, knowledge management should take up a central role in the product development processes (PDPs). Thus, a PDP has to be considered as a socio-technical system, which is characterized not only by technical development, but also is represented as knowledge-intensive process.enSocial Sciences::330: EconomicsConference Paper10.1007/978-3-662-44009-4Conference Paper
