the purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the potential contribution of the flow–fundmodel to analysing the organisation of production processes by exploring the links withtwo other levels of analysis: namely, the input–output relations and innovative activitythrough the development of new knowledge.The flow–fund model focuses on the time dimension of production activities whichrequire specific ‘knowledge how’, in addition to ‘knowledge that’. The flow–fund methodol-ogy allows us to analyse the task distributions and the organisation of production processesthat are both absent from input–output models. The time-dimension of the flow–fund anal-ysis provides the necessary bridge to explain the co-evolution of organisational settings andnew productive knowledge.
