Knowledge Management Strategies

KM in practice seems to be an effort that comprises all kinds of different activities, measures and technologies. Unfortunately, it seems that organizations do not pay very much attention to the strategic value of their initiatives. Thus, there is a lack of clear distinction between different KM strategies or dimensions of strategies that can be used to characterize one particular KM strategy. This paper is made an attempt to describe about KM strategies and practice as well. This research paper discuses different types of repositories and role of repositories in KM , further it addresses incentives to make use of good repository records. KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES In the learning literature, the nature of the market environment is a critical factor (e.g. Baldwin et al., 1997). In general, in low environmental turbulence conditions, the perceived need for change and the need for new information are likely to be low, and low-level learning (e.g. employee development) may be acceptable. Alternatively, under conditions of high environmental turbulence, the perceived need for change, for information, and for higher-order learning is likely to be higher. There appears to be a paradox. While strategic alliances are implemented more efficiently when there is minimum tension between the partners, knowledge creation is maximized when such tension is increased (Phan an Peridis, 2000). Therefore, the greater the perceived turbulence in the business environment, the greater the need for inter-organizational learning.
