20.500.12556/RUL-180694 Knowledge-management collaboration and labor brokerage performance a multilevel study of entrepreneurial market making Entrepreneurs operating in knowledge-intensive markets will seek to reduce costs with tacit-knowledge-management mechanisms. When seeking a competitive advantage in knowledge-intensive industries, individuals will create value from general market information and engineer the transaction cost for clients. These market-making individuals will operate within a firm to gain benefits from information-sharing collaboration. Firms will make investments in tacit- information sharing to assist individual collaboration, resulting in increased firm performance. The value creation process for knowledge-intensive markets is crafted from general market information. The value appropriation process is unique to knowledge-intensive industries with the engineering of a client’s transaction costs as a competitive ad- vantage. The research develops a schema for the engineering of transaction costs using entrepreneurial market-making efficiencies mapped to the determinants of transaction costs theory. The multilevel econometric model examines both firm-level and individual-level investments in tacit-knowledge management. Results suggest firm-level investments in information sharing may not improve the performance of the individuals in the firm. However, when there is a firm structure and individuals actively share information, then efficiency is created, leading to larger deals and increased firm performance. Future research developing those efficiencies found in knowledge-management strategies is needed. This article also calls for further development and observations of engineering transaction costs, specifically in knowledge- intensive industries. entrepreneurship knowledge management labour efficiency business efficiency transaction cost engineering labor brokerage podjetništvo obvladovanje znanja delovna uspešnost business efficiency true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2026-03-13 17:12:50 2026-03-13 17:14:55 2026-03-14 04:38:03 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2026 0 0 Str. 1-15 iss. 1, article no. 1 Vol. 28 Mar. 2026 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 658.3 2335-4216 10.15458/2335-4216.1365 270204419 https://www.ebrjournal.net/home/vol28/iss1/1/ 1 78613e7e-1ef7-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230366 Knowledge-Management_Collaboration_and_Labor_Brokerage_Performanc.pdf Knowledge-Management_Collaboration_and_Labor_Brokerage_Performanc.pdf 1 3D5250ACB285B68AA1736AE169C6DDBD d1194a913a6b08e4a3e644044ac2f8dc7c96c0eb077754aae6b01ca95090a249 aea6ce0f-1ef7-11f1-b0ab-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=230369 Ekonomska fakulteta Economic and business review 0 0 0
