Abstract:
The resource-based view and the knowledge-based view are important
developments in strategic management theory, and "knowledge management"
has exploded in the popular management literature. There is, however,
little empirical literature that explores the connections between firms"
attempts at knowledge management and their HR strategies. In this
paper, we focus particularly on links between knowledge management and
staffing practices. High-technology manufacturing was selected as the
site of our research, as high-technology firms rely on highly skilled
employees to innovate and develop new products and are therefore an
ideal environment for exploring the strategies employed for both
managing knowledge, and recruiting and retaining employees. Drawing
particularly on the work of Hansen et al. (1999), this paper identifies
and explores two fits between knowledge management and HR strategy or
what we call KM-HR configurations: "personalization-retention" and
"codification-recruitment". We argue that there is no one way to manage
knowledge and its links to HRM and build a simple framework of potential
KM-HR configurations with propositions for future research.
Keywords: Knowledge management; human resource strategy; resource-based view; knowledge-based view; competitive advantage.
