Abstract

Knowledge management is vital to organization management and is done by pursuing different strategies, which are mainly based on two basic knowledge management approaches called the explicit-oriented approach and the tacit-oriented approach. In this paper, we have tried to consider the type of knowledge strategy of organizations in a new classification including organizations with routine or non-routine processes. Thus, the two important knowledge strategies of organizations, the explicit-oriented and the tacit-oriented strategy, are evaluated using a questionnaire completed by 64 companies of either the type with routine or the type with non-routine processes. Then, the relation between the state of knowledge in the companies and the types of companies was determined by using logistic regression and it was found that the companies which use explicit knowledge operate more routinely and vice versa, the companies which use tacit knowledge operate less routinely.
