This paper examines the process of creating and exploiting synergies between business units of a multi‐unit corporation and the creation of internal value by combining and exploiting knowledge. It offers a framework to create and manage such synergies and undertakes an empirical test through in‐depth study across three business units of Royal Vopak, a Dutch‐based global multi‐unit corporation. Finally, it offers lessons for corporate managers trying to create and manage cross‐unit synergies.Copyright © 2006 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
