A Study On Learning-type Organizational Construction Of Knowledge-management-based Enterprises

Today’ society has been entering the knowledge economy era, and knowledge has therefore become the primary force of promoting economic growth and social development. Knowledge management activities centering on discovering, storing, sharing, applying and innovating knowledge will become the essential components of the design of the organizational management system. Learning-type organizational theory is the brand-new theory which evolved from the end of last century. During the practice of a variety of organizational theories, we’ve found out that learning-type organizational theory is closely related to knowledge management, both of which provide a powerful impetus to enhance the organization’s core competitiveness and to achieve the organization’s sustainable development by means of supplementing and promoting each other.Through correlation analysis both at home and abroad, a marked performance has been accomplished in the construction of knowledge management and learning-type organizations. However, it still remains space for further exploration. It is generally acknowledged that knowledge has close relation to learning. Knowledge is the content of learning and objective as well, while learning is the driving force of knowledge communication and re-creation. The knowledge dissymmetry of both inside and outside of an organization is the major reason for organizational learning. On the one hand, organizational knowledge is one of the decisive factors of organizational learning, and on the other, organizational learning contributes to the evaluation process of organizational knowledge. Thus, learning-type organizations make of the most effective organizational forms of achieving organization’s knowledge management, while organization’s knowledge management becomes the key and core of constructing learning-type organizations.The study attempts to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the KM-LO’s integration model, from the aspects of the static environment-support factors and dynamic learning operational model. KM-LO’s static environmental factors involve both exterior and interior factors, which support the construction of model integration. A good exterior environment is important for enterprises’ survival and development in the information era, and it serves as a strong driving force of enterprises’ sustainable development. On the other hand, interior environmental factors consist of enterprises’ organizational strategy, system, structure, cultural atmosphere and human resources. The great importance of KM-LO’s dynamic learning operational model consists in the dynamic combination of knowledge flow and organizational learning within an enterprise. Therefore, knowledge-management-based learning-type organizational model is driven and promoted by static environment-support factors and dynamic learning operational model, which is beneficial to the transfer of both explicit knowledge and implicit knowledge.The study employs Analytic Hierarchy process to set up evaluation system of knowledge-management-based learning organizations. It aims to design and establish the system’s overall frame, objectives at different levels, measuring and assessing indicators, weight added value and etc. In addition,1600questionnaires are utilized primarily to study the five representative enterprises in the field of advanced manufacturing industry, modern service industry and Hi-tech industry. Furthermore, on the basis of the interview results, the study conducts an all-round, in-depth and objective assessment of the current situation of learning-type organization construction of knowledge-management-based enterprises, which helps to apply learning-type organizations’ integration model theory to practice.In order to set up learning-type organizations, learning, and shared organizational culture is highly required, in line with flexible, flattened, networking organizational structure and shared, stimulating and open organizational systems. Moreover, a perfect knowledge management chain benefits the knowledge selection, sorting, innovation, forms the knowledge bank and thus plays a vital role in the survival and development of an enterprise.
