Furthermore, knowledge intensity increases all knowledge processes. Knowledge intensity also moderates the relationship of documentation and knowledge sharing with knowledge creation. The interaction effect is negative, meaning that firms in less knowledge\u2010intensive conditions will benefit more from documentation and knowledge sharing for their knowledge creation purposes, and ultimately innovation.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>The data are limited to companies from Finland, Russia and China.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:italic>To promote innovation, managers should pay close attention to knowledge creation processes in organizations.
