How can we sustain knowledge management?
Knowledge in organizations is sustainable and managed through organizational processes and routines. Organizations need to activate the process of knowledge acquisition, creation, utilization and sharing with the capacity for the employees to absorb both the tacit and explicit knowledge (Sun, 2010). To ensure sustainability, the company must acquire systemic knowledge and strategically engage their employees and stakeholders both through internal and external social networking. The process, cultural and structural context must be considered in the management process of knowledge to ensure the process is absorbed and acceptable.
Organizations must develop processes that ensure effectiveness of knowledge transfer and utilization. There must be avenues for ensuring that companies get rid of knowledge and routines not useful and the employees engaged in learning new processes and routines that are beneficial to organizations (Pallaschke, Roberta, 2010). Knowledge transfer processes must be both internal and external to ensure necessary experiences are captured and that the organization performs within or above standards established. This will ensure proper knowledge is captured and utilized and that proper knowledge management processes and strategies are sustained in the organization (Liu, Song, & Xiu-Hao Ding, 2013).
