Justification on Knowledge Management Strategies: A New Perspective on Knowledge Creating Process.
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A variety of knowledge management strategies have been developed because knowledge has come to be considered as a most valuable strategic asset.These strategies have been categorized as being either human or system oriented.However, it is still unclear how these strategies are affected by knowledge creating processes such as socialization, externalization, combination, and internalization.This paper proposes a model to illustrate the relationship between knowledge management strategies and their creating processes.The model is derived on the basis of samples from 58 Korean firms.The model shows that the strategies vary depending on different knowledge creating processes.Our finding is that, in order to manage knowledge effectively, human strategy is more likely to be adopted in the case of the socialization process while system strategy is more likely to be adopted in the case of the combination process.
