Description
- Abstract: To encounter with Knowledge Management, the organizations should select appropriate knowledge strategy and knowledge management strategy.
- System Dynamics simulation for Developing and intenerating knowledge management and Knowledge strategy
- Ameneh Khadivar , Sima Javaheri
- There are different methods for developing these strategies.
- A System Dynamics model developed to select and integrate both strategies.
- In the proposed model organizational factors such as business strategy, structure, culture, human resource and IT infrastructure have been considered.
- From the dynamic approach perspective, the knowledge creation processes and the level of explicit or tacit knowledge have direct impact on selected strategies.
- The stock variable and their initial value have been identified the flow variable and theier increasing/decreasing rate have been determined and casual loops and stock and flow diagrams was proposed.
- After simulating and testing the dynamic model, different scenarios and policies have been presented for the case study.
- The results indicate improvement in both KM strategy and knowledge strategy.
- Keywords: knowledge management, knowledge management strategy, knowledge strategy, system dynamics
