Synergistic Alignment Between Knowledge Management and Management by Objectives: A Multidimensional Model to Sustain Competitive Advantage in The Knowledge Economy

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: In this study, we propose to develop an integrated theoretical framework that articulates Knowledge Management (KM) and Management by Objectives (MBO) as complementary levers to catalyze organizational performance and competitive sustainability. We go beyond the fundamental principles of MBO, expanding the relevance of establishing SMART goals (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound) to include a new dimension: 'Cognitive Adaptability'. Additionally, we apply contemporary theories on social capital, organizational intelligence, and organizational ambidexterity to examine how KM can be instrumentalized to enhance the effectiveness of MBO. Through a robust conceptual model, it is demonstrated how the strategic convergence of the two approaches can unlock sustainable organizational value, optimize decision-making, and drive innovation.
