Abstract
ABSTRACT Knowledge transfer is a key prerequisite for the success of setting up management systems in organisations, as they become one of the strategic resources that can ensure increased performance or significant growth. There are a number of strategies using multiple activities (patent sales, custom research, consulting, horizontal mobility, publishing activities, human resources management practices) that ensure effective knowledge transfer for achieving long-term competitive advantage. These initiatives are considered as an important aspect of knowledge management and sustainable business development. The article aims to identify and evaluate a group of key factors to ensure the transfer of knowledge in selected Czech organisations. Data were obtained through a questionnaire technique of data collection (n = 183) using descriptive and multidimensional statistics in combination with a focus group (n = 8). Four key factors have been identified to ensure knowledge transfer, namely internal factors, altruism, satisfaction, organisational identity.
期刊介绍:
Knowledge management is a term that has worked its way into the mainstream of both academic and business arenas since it was first coined in the 1980s. Interest has increased rapidly during the last decade and shows no signs of abating. The current state of the knowledge management field is that it encompasses four overlapping areas: •Managing knowledge (creating/acquiring, sharing, retaining, storing, using, updating, retiring) •Organisational learning •Intellectual capital •Knowledge economics Within (and across) these, knowledge management has to address issues relating to technology, people, culture and systems.
