Strategies for Managing Knowledge

Abstract

This chapter concentrates on strategies for managing knowledge. Guiding principles for a successful KM strategy are introduced. Five questions lead the reader to develop a KM strategy. Relevant KM strategies such as an innovation-oriented KM strategy, «Best Practice» strategy, process-oriented KM strategy and project-oriented KM strategy are explained. The metaphor of organisations as knowledge markets provides principles and rules to implement KM strategies. The KM-tool explained at the end of the chapter is the called «knowledge market».
