KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES AS INTERMEDIARY VARIABLES BETWEEN ITBUSINESS STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT AND FIRM PERFORMANCE

Since the relationship between knowledge management and ITbusiness strategic alignment should be investigated further, highlighting the importance of knowledge (both tacit and explicit) in the formation and implementation of IT strategy; this research aims to review and discuss the links between data, information, and knowledge; how researchers classify knowledge; the ways that firms could manage their knowledge and systems; the difficulties and challenges that firms might face when implementing knowledge management systems, and the ways in which managers should resolve such challenges; and empirical research on the linkage between knowledge management strategies and firm performance. Consequently, further research is needed to validate the ways researchers measure the associations among IT-business strategic alignment, knowledge management, and firm performance in both developed and developing countries and across different industries

Strategy as Learning: Capturing Emerging Knowledge

The process of strategy making presents a multi-faceted debate, with the ‘Learning School’ of strategic management being one of the main approaches to conceptualise strategy formation. This approach suggests that strategy making is a process of emergent learning over time, where strategy makers critically reflect on past experience, experiment in new competitive conditions and adapt their strategies accordingly. The premises of the Learning School are similar to the premises of action learning, and yet, the action learning paradigm appears to have made little or no impact in strategic management literature and practice. This paper proposes that implementing an action learning methodology into the process of strategy making could make an important contribution to strategy makers by capturing, harnessing and developing organizational learning and knowledge

A platform for enterprise-wide healthcare knowledge management

The importance of effective information and knowledge management in enterprises has spurred the development of numerous information and knowledge management software.Whilst emphasis is placed on effective document management, the essence of knowledge management is diluted as the focus is presently on managing uninterpreted data and information in document-type formats.To address this issue of the lack of true knowledge management in enterprises, especially in healthcare enterprises, we propose a Platform for Enterprise-Wide Healthcare Knowledge Management (KM-Platform).This platform is made up of two suites of applications and services, i.e. the Intelligent Agent-Based Knowledge Management Application Suite and the Strategic Visualisation, Planning and Coalition Formation Service Suite
