This paper presents a knowledge management framework for developing a community of collaborative innovation based on a systematic review of the relevant literature in knowledge management and collaborative innovation. The proposed conceptual framework adequately considers the development of the community of collaborative innovation with respect to the management of collaborative innovation objectives, knowledge resources, knowledge activities, and the critical factors for effective knowledge management activities. The paper contributes to the existing research in collaborative innovation by proposing a multi-dimensional knowledge management framework for the development of the community of collaborative innovation. It argues for the adoption of a holistic approach to effective organizational knowledge management
in supporting the overall effectiveness, efficiency and competitiveness of the community of collaborative innovation. The proposed framework is of practical significance as it can be used as an assessment tool to identify the critical factors for the development of communities of collaborative innovation across organizations through effective knowledge management in
complex systems.
