Management + Costing
Once "Knowledge Configuration Management" is in place, quantitative analysis becomes again possible.
Obviously, the parameters need to be tailored to the specific categorisation of "knowledge snippets" that will have been negotiated with the knowledge producers.
Why introducing again the quantitative analysis?
Consider this as possible side effect, not a mandatory element of a “knowledge retention” policy.
Introducing quantitative analysis after adopting the new approach could be useful to actually share the costs of producing and maintaining a specific "knowledge snippet".
And it is not only useful for "Internal Transfer Pricing", but also when spinning out a unit or negotiating a joint venture.
Obviously, also if the demonstrated value or cost of an item is X, corporate policy realities could result in a lower transfer price, considering the balance as an additional element of overhead, paid by the organisation as a whole.
