Most knowledge management work encourages practicing managers to pursue ever more knowledge development and sharing. There is an assumption that more knowledge always leads to greater competitive advantage and superior financial performance. Even though this may be the case, it is far from proven, and the application and use of knowledge management techniques may actually be more strategic, with optimal levels of effort and spending determined by differing circumstances. This study investigates these topics by assessing whether knowledge strategies might vary by industry, asset structure, and other potential variables.

The Relationship

With the growing awareness of the crucial role that knowledge can play in gaining competitive advantage, several issues with regard to knowledge management (KM) initiatives have challenged executives. The articulation of the relationship between an organization’s competitive strategy and its knowledge strategy is the most eminent. This chapter addresses the issue of how to align knowledge strategy with enterprise business strategy. Based on the premise that the realization of business value from KM investments requires alignment between business and knowledge strategies, the issue is addressed by developing a strategic alignment model for KM. This model, which is based on the Henderson-Venkatraman strategic alignment model, includes the external domains (opportunities/threat) and internal domains (capabilities/arrangements) of both business (B-) and knowledge (K-) strategies and the relationships between them. Furthermore, it provides alternative strategic choices. The model is used to study a KM initiative at Buckman Laboratories.

Knowledge has been recognized as the most difficult resource traded and imitated. The creation and use of knowledge needs to be managed at the level of individuals, groups, and companies. For the Bank itself, knowledge management is not organizing knowledge of their human resources as assets, but also as a key competitive advantage amid the global banking market. This paper discusses how knowledge management will be very beneficial for the BTPN Sharia to maintain a competitive advantage. Pengetahuan sudah diakui sebagai sumber daya yang paling sulit diperdagangkan dan ditiru.

Paper ini membahas bagaimana manajemen pengetahuan akan sangat bermanfaat bagi BTPN Syariah untuk menjaga keunggulan kompetitif.
