Knowledge Management Maturity Level of Indonesian Government Institutions and State-Owned Enterprises

Abstract

This qualitative study aims to examine the maturity level of Indonesian government institutions (IGI) and state-owned enterprises (SEO) in knowledge management (KM). KM maturity is measured using three KM components—people, process, and technology—and categorized using four levels—develop, standardize, optimize, and innovate. This research collected and analyzed various forms of qualitative data, such as secondary data, in-depth interviews, and observations. An integrative case study was conducted and resulted in a clear understanding of the implementation, level, and output of KM maturity in IGI and SEOs. Research findings can be broken down into two outputs: (1) The first is the identification of KM implementation in IGI and SEOs, which formed the basis of the authors’ KM mapping plot. KM has become a strategy to manifest bureaucratic reform in IGI to become knowledgeable institutions in disruptive settings. (2) The second is a method to propose KM maturity level. Future research could incorporate the efficacy variables of KM implementation and develop KM maturity typology criteria.
