The objective with the project ´Knowledge appropriation´ has been to increase the appropriation of already existing knowledge within to knowledge areas at CBI: (a) ´Innovative business development´ and (b) ´Innovation Audits´. This has been undertaken by means of running a number of firm based projects and by development and ´packaging´ of add-on services to these two methods.

Packaging of add-on services related to the method has been performed. The business development projects have had substantial impact and effect in the firms. The services have yet not been used in any systematic project.
Approach and implementation
The project has been organized in three sub projects. Two sub projects relate to running firm based projects according to CBI methodology and the subsequent packaging of add-on services related to these two methods (CBI knowledge areas). The firm based projects have used master students in the research teams whereas the packaging has been undertaken by CBI senior researchers.
