Title: Critical Analysis of Knowledge Constituents and Impact on Organizational Knowledge Orientation-an Exploratory Study
Abstract: Knowledge is an important element for becoming a learning organization. It is the source of intellectual capital which is turned into customer value. In general sense it is information in action to solve problems and locate opportunities. It has fragmented, tacit and explicit forms and is codified as an object for inter-transferable exchange through a process. It follows a life cycle and is influenced by human and social factors, organizational structure and processes, technology adoption and a mix of various disciplines in management. However what exactly the knowledge constituents are, and in what proportions such constituents of knowledge are responsible for knowledge creation are not clearly understood in the management literature. The present study, through an exploratory research, is an effort to highlight the critical constituents of knowledge in organizations as identified from literature review. The paper looks at some of the important issues about Knowledge, the Knowledge Framework, the factors responsible for creating Knowledge & Challenges involved, for understanding an organization’s Knowledge orientation. This insight is helpful for an organization to understand its critical knowledge constituents, their impact in shaping organizational knowledge orientation and thus chalking out a knowledge strategy for a sustained competitive advantage
