Also, collectively ten semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted at our case company Tetra Pak with an additional questionnaire which was provided to us by one of the interviewees in order to build groundings of this thesis. This thesis outlines research in several areas such as the concepts of framework innovation and knowledge along with research on learning organization, clusters, knowledge integration and the SECI model to showcase how they can be combined in a specific context. This paper contributes to the fields of knowledge management and cluster theory by explaining how Tetra Pak works with internal knowledge and the integration of external knowledge and how they are consequently shared in the company to support innovative work.
