The Alignment of Organizational Knowledge and
Business Strategies. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 104
The alignment concept has traditionally been
applied in the IT, HR, and Strategic Management
fields. This book breaks that tradition by extending
alignment into the knowledge management (KM) field.
It focuses on knowledge resources alignment and the
performance impact of aligning knowledge and
business strategies. Casting knowledge as a key
performance differentiator, the author examines
the scope, essence, and importance of knowledge
alignment. The author identifies and discusses
strategies used in managing knowledge,
differentiates between KM strategies and knowledge
strategies, elaborates how organizations can
craft their knowledge strategies based on the
strategy diamond, and develops frameworks and
models for alignment in KM. Using empirical data, an
alignment model based on the strategic knowledge
orientation of organizatons is validated followed by
an analysis of the relationship and performance
impact of aligning knowledge and business strategies.
The book is timely and an asset to managers who want
to understand and apply the alignment concept in
their KM initiatives and to academicians and students
engaged in research, teaching, and learning in the KM
field.
