Evolution and Challenges in Knowledge Management

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the implications for competitive advantages derived from strategic knowledge and the knowledge transfer process. An important issue in a knowledge-based view (KBV) is to delimit the source of competitive advantages, that is, knowledge versus knowledge management processes (acquisition, transfer, generation). Based on KBV and knowledge management literature, this article considers the importance of both parts. Specifically, the thesis focuses on strategic knowledge and the knowledge transfer process.
