Technological knowledge and organizational knowledge are distinguished in order to define economic competence formally. This definition is made operational in the simplest possible linear model of production. Productivity gains are shown to originate from changes in organizational capabilities that are made effective by changes in the assignment of complementary input factors. They have no connection with economies of scale or scope. A numerical application illustrates the role of internal organization as a source of productivity in the operation of unchanged quantities of inputs combined in fixed proportions.
