Abstract
The latter half of the 20th century witnessed a shift in the economic activity from manufacturing to services. As a consequence of this shift, we saw the emergence of a knowledge-based
economy, where the reliance on knowledge to build capabilities and competencies took
precedence. It thus became vital for organizations to focus on the production, communication
and consumption of knowledge to sustain their competitive advantage (Grant, 1996; Grant &
Phene, 2021).
