Factors Influencing The Knowledge Management Strategy Based On Knowledge Externalization

The 21st century is days of knowledge economy. Knowledge Management is necessary outcome of the rapid development of IT. An organization is made up of different types of knowledge. The knowledge is stored at process, regulation and rules, also as best practices, technologic knowledge, customer trust, MIS, culture and so on. In corporation operation, the most important input and value source is knowledge. The principal operation mechanism of corporation is creating, transfering, integrating and appling knowledge assets, especially tacit knowledge. Tacit knowlege is the motivity of technologic innovation, crucial source of competitive advantage as well. However, research into transfer, developement and utilization of corporation tacit knowledge systematically is lacking.This study investigates meaning, classification and process of tacit knowledge transfer, analyzes knowledge management strategy based on tacit knowledge explicitation. Then, this study presents tacit knowledge explicitation process model based on SECI model by Nonaka, which analyzes knowledge sharing, transfer and creating in the process of tacit knowledge explicitation. Furtherly, influencing factor model of tacit knowledge explicitation is built up to analyze influencing factors involved. In addition, technologic innovation performance is taken into accout in the model.The conclusion of this study is as below:(1) Information resource factor has distinct positive impact on tacit knowledge explicitation. In addition, it has direct impact on technologic innovation performance.(2) System strcture factor has distinct positive impact on tacit knowledge explicitation. However, the significance of this impact is not very considerable. In addition, it has indirect impact on technologic innovation performance, working through tacit knowledge explicitation.(3) Situational system factor has distinct positive impact on tacit knowledge explicitation. In addition, it has direct impact on technologic innovation performance.(4) Tacit knowledge explicitation has paticularly distinct positive impact on technologic innovation performance.(5) Information resource factor is distinctly correlated to situational systemfactor. In other words, significant synergic effect is present between them.The influencing model provides management principle which combines theory with practices and analysis tools for knowledge-intensive companies to make choices to improve tacit knowledge explicitation. Then, this paper presents some feasible means and countermeasure for advancing tacit knowledge explicitation to improve tacit knowledge explicitation, to make perfection and development of tacit knowledge management practices.
