Abstract

The greatest scientist in the field of management P. Drucker described the period from the end of the Second World War to 2020 as a transition to an economy based on knowledge. The modern knowledge-based economy is characterized by the integration of information and knowledge from different fields. Therefore, organizations need mechanisms that are capable of generating or acquiring knowledge. This paper will present the mechanism of collaboration of enterprises in the context of agile concept in Russian industry. Businesses should be integrated into dynamic networks formed around well-defined market opportunities so that knowledge can be shared. Through this process, knowledge is transformed into new products and services. An empirical study of industrial enterprises in Russia has been conducted from 2014 to the present. Both qualitative and quantitative methods were used for analysis. The continuously growing knowledge base is the most important result of the mechanism's action. This study is a value for researchers in the field of industrial economics and industrial practitioners.
