Der Hafen von Haithabu

30 Jahre nach den Ausgrabungen mehrerer Hafenanlagen von Haithabu hat Sven Kalmring nun erstmals die ganze, bisher kaum zu übersehende Fülle von Dokumenten zusammengeführt, digitalisiert, analysiert und so neue Erkenntnisse über das uralte Terrain gewonnen. Bei der vorliegenden Arbeit handelt es sich um die überarbeitete und ergänzte Fassung seiner Dissertation, die im Mai 2008 an der Philosophischen Fakultät der Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel zur Erlangung des Doktorgrades eingereicht wurde

Analysis of Interrelations Between Business Models and Knowledge Management Strategies in Consulting Firms

Knowledge is an important matter for consulting firms - as a resource, as a product or service, and as a trigger for internal value creation processes. Therefore, a strategy for management and utilisation of knowledge in its different state is needed. It is sensible to assume, that this strategy is strongly influenced by a respective consulting firm’s business model. This paper provides an analysis of the interrelation between business model and Knowledge Management strategy. Four determinants are defined to allow a detailed description of different Knowledge Management strategies. Methods and techniques of Knowledge Management are subsumed under these determinants. The use of these methods determine, whether a Knowledge Management strategy is dominated by central or de-central elements. This article describes different types of business models and derives recommendations for corresponding Knowledge Management strategies. Case studies of four Grolik,Kalmring,Lehner,Frigerio KM Strategies in Consulting Firms international consulting firms with different business models and different Knowledge Management strategies are used to validate these recommendations
