Abstract
Knowledge creation modes (especially socialization and internalization) enhance architectural innovation (AI) capability of U.K. manufacturing firms. AI is the reconfiguration of product or process components and creating completely new interfaces between them. Knowledge creation modes enhance firms' AI to create new products while utilizing their architectural knowledge. Knowledge socialization and internalization are the most important modes that affect AI. Socialization helps to share tacit knowledge while internalization enables individuals to absorb and embody accumulated know-how to envision new product ideas.
