Since the era of our ancestors, knowledge has been the core factor of economic growth and social development. The creation of new knowledge, new ideas and the capabilities of making them embodied in products, processes and organizations are the eternal dynamic in the development of human beings. From hunting to farming to machinery, Human society has changed a lot in every huge transition. Long time ago, Ancient Egypt, India, Babylon and China have contributed their own unique knowledge system. After the industrial revolution, the United Kingdom, the United States and other capitalist countries dominate the world economic development depending on their strong scientific and technological superiority. At present, United States, Japan, and like this have been recognized to be the countries with knowledge economy in the world, Innovative Composite Index of which is significantly higher than that of other countries.Since the reform and opening up policy has been carrying out, relying on the state's reform and opening up policy and natural resources, labor and capital comparative advantages, China has maintained a high economic growth rate within 30 years, but the economic growth is faced with the "growth Limit" brought by the tension relationship between the environment and resources. To maintain sustained economic growth, we must establish an expanding reproduction growth mode at the connotation level with the technology innovation as the driving force and the development potential, and increase our productivity efficiency by relying on the scientific and technological progress and independent innovation. In the Sixteenth Plenary Session, the CPC put forward the policy of implementing the scientific concept of development, and strengthening the contribution of independent innovation capacity. And the National Conference on Science and Technology proposed a goal to change China to be an innovation-oriented country before 2020, and established a priority strategic position of science and technology. The report of the 17th National People's Congress of the Communist Party of China clearly pointed out: improving the ability of independent innovation and building an innovation-oriented country are the cores of the national development strategy and are the keys to improve our comprehensive national strength. We are soberly aware that implementing the strategy of revitalizing our country by science and education, strengthening our comprehensive national power in the basis of economy, science and technology will be finally decided by the international status of China.Enterprise is not only the country's economic foundation and lifeline, but also the important arena of contemporary science and technology innovation; not only the important force to promote scientific and technological progress, but also the subject and the actors of technical innovation investment. But most of Chinese enterprises can't bear this difficult task now, the most prominent of which is that they always devote to introduce while don't pay more attention to digestion, absorption and the re-innovation, the low rate of self-sufficiency of key technology, and the enterprises with the technological innovation as the core competitiveness are still less relatively. To effectively enhance China's international scientific and technological competitiveness and its influence, it is necessary to establish enterprises' principal position in technological innovation and scientific and technological input, enhance their research and development capabilities, insist the introduction, digestion, absorption of advanced technology and integrate with independent innovation, achieve the integration of the market development, technological innovation and integration of the production and operation, and improve our enterprises' capacities of effectively absorbing, creating, and sharing the global innovative knowledge.Classical economic theory says that the economic growth comes from the accumulation of capital and the division of labors, and enterprises should comply with the resources distribution by market, and let capital flow to the areas with the most efficient productivity. Neoclassical economic theory sees companies as a series of commercial contracts or some institutions to reduce transaction costs in the specific market, in the inherent gene of which the combination of real capital and human capital through mutual Nonlinear effects of factors such as entrepreneurship, mechanisms, technical and cultural, forms the business fluctuation. Selecting more competitive enterprise mechanisms, more advanced innovative technology, better entrepreneurs and more positive corporate culture in the adaptation to the market competition can help to promote the growth evolution of enterprise.In the knowledge manager's vision, all forms of physical capital and human capital are the way of knowledge accumulation and storage. A knowledge-based economy always reflects the growth of knowledge and material savings, that is, through the three ways of integration of knowledge and physical resources, the organization of physical resources and the enhancement of actors' understanding capacity to achieve the physical resource conservation. P. Drucker said summarily that the reason for the existence of enterprises is mining customers' demands, producing products and services to meet these demands in order to create value. And innovation is the entrepreneurs' effective tools to achieve this aim. Innovation activities of enterprise in the Context of Knowledge Management are the process that the core knowledge moves constantly in the space of modern enterprises to get the most effectiveness.Enterprise Innovation activities originated from the innovation force led by the pressure of market competition and strong development desire of enterprise. Such driving force promotes the enterprise knowledge movement and develops to be innovative products to improve enterprise efficiency, and it meets the enterprises' growth desire, and further stimulates this desire. In recent decades, the conversion speeds from scientific theory to application technology and from application technology to the end-product has been constantly updated. The core knowledge movement of enterprise has also been accelerated according to the path of knowledge creation, transfer and application. Based on the re-interpreting of the inner structure of enterprise knowledge, the author constructs a co-evolutionary model of enterprise knowledge movement: The relationship between technical knowledge and attribute knowledge is the one between productivity and production relations, and the two jointly form a double-helix structure of company with life. The enterprise knowledge is described as the formation and evolution of knowledge along with the time dimension, and the knowledge transfer and application along with the space dimension. The author describes the process as "knowledge formation - knowledge transfer - knowledge application."The chapterâ…¡makes a research about the base of enterprise knowledge movement. First the author defines the conception of enterprise knowledge and other related concepts, and then reviews the existing studies on the enterprise knowledge movement. By reviewing, we know that Peter Drucker proposed the concept of "knowledge management" firstly, Teece put forward the thought of knowledge transfer earlier, and Ikujiro Nonaka first systematically put forward SECI model of enterprise knowledge creation. Although the researches of knowledge process management refer to the basic process of knowledge movement, and the enterprise as a subject of knowledge management has been gradually paid more attention, the research results about "Enterprise Knowledge movement" are extremely rare at home and abroad.In the third chapter, the author attempts to set up an enterprise knowledge co-evolutionary model. The author thinks that the enterprise knowledge includes the two categories, technical knowledge and attribute knowledge. Technical knowledge is a knowledge used to transform the world by human beings, and attribute knowledge is the collectively form of the mechanism and cultural factors. By making enterprise as an openly complex system, the author amends the meaning of information space of Max H. Boisot, and redefines and builds the enterprise knowledge system and the concept of time and space. The basic dimension of this enterprise knowledge space is the knowledge acquisition, transfer and evolution. And the main form is the co-evolution of the enterprise technical knowledge and attribute knowledge. (Table 0-1)The main body of this article is the chapterâ…£toâ…§. The author studies the classification of enterprise knowledge movement, the knowledge movement in the enterprise and the co-evolution led by knowledge spillover respectively, then mainly analyzes that how to design the enterprise knowledge movement at the organizational level. With the case of Shanxi Fen Wine Group, the author attempts to give a specific movement template of enterprise knowledge co-evolution. The author concludes that the growth of enterprise depends on the driving force of innovation desire. Growth, transfer and application of knowledge will help to achieve more knowledge easily, and will become an important innovation agent of enterprise. Technical knowledge needs to indicate its spillover effect and fulfill its true added value. And it also needs the co-operation of management and market, and a huge investment security and the construction of flexible and looking-forward culture environment. And entrepreneurial strategy, vision and risk awareness are perhaps the most important factors to promote enterprise knowledge movement.There are three innovation points of this paper: puts forward the concept of enterprise knowledge movement first beyond the scope of knowledge transfer, and thinks that its meaning is the three levels of enterprise knowledge driven by innovation: enterprise knowledge formation, transfer and application, and the three constitute an indivisible highly unified whole. Second, the author gives a new interpretation to the internal structure of enterprise knowledge, proposes and demonstrates an enterprise knowledge co-evolution model about the technical knowledge and attribute knowledge. Third, the author tries to breakthrough the new classical static equilibrium analysis methods in the research process, and uses the complex analysis method with the real business case to study the nonlinear dynamic movement of enterprise knowledge. And this paper also confirms this model with the case of Shanxi Fen Wine Group.Because of limitations of some conditions, this paper fails to carry out a specific appraisal of enterprise knowledge capital, and describe its movement trail at the micro level. Enterprise Knowledge movement is a new concept, the definitions of whose connotation and extension are of great uncertainty. Because of the limited time of the research about the project of Shanxi Fen Wine Group, coupled with the difficulty of enterprise data acquisition, many of the objectives of the case study couldn't be achieved.
