Abstract

To succeed in the face of constantly changing business challenges, Purchasing and Supply Management (PSM) needs to develop strong knowledge management (KM) mechanisms to equip individuals with accurate, reliable, and up-to-date knowledge and has, therefore, become a significant factor in building competence in this area. Although inter-organizational processes within the context of supply chains and supplier development have previously been studied, little is known about the transformative nature of the PSM function itself. Following a process perspective and drawing on the SECI model of knowledge creation, we contextualize the construct of knowledge assets in PSM and conceptualize mechanisms behind their conversion. Based on thirty-four interviews with PSM practitioners, we show how PSM knowledge is curated and study the applications of KM dynamics within the PSM practice. Our work also highlights barriers to this process and provides recommendations for improving PSM practices and strengthening learning capabilities.

采购与供应管理中的知识转化:过程视角
为了在面对不断变化的商业挑战时取得成功,采购和供应管理(PSM)需要发展强大的知识管理(KM)机制,为个人提供准确、可靠和最新的知识,因此,它已成为在这一领域建立能力的重要因素。虽然以前已经研究过供应链和供应商发展背景下的组织间过程,但对PSM功能本身的变革性质知之甚少。本文从过程视角出发,借鉴知识创造的SECI模型,将PSM中知识资产的构建情境化,并对其转换背后的机制进行概念化。基于对34位PSM从业者的访谈,我们展示了PSM知识是如何策划的,并研究了知识管理动态在PSM实践中的应用。我们的工作还强调了这一过程的障碍,并提供了改进PSM实践和加强学习能力的建议。
