Abstract

Abstract: Knowledge management is a key resource for enabling projects and organizations to address the current challenges of competitive environment. This article aims to investigate the central themes of knowledge management in the project context, exploring the relationship between knowledge management and project performance. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out, adopting bibliometric analysis, codification and content analysis. The search and sampling process was conducted in the Web of Knowledge (Web of Science Core Collection) database. First, the results identified the main strategies to deal with tacit and explicit knowledge, which are experts’ knowledge acquisition and project documentation through coded forms, respectively. Both types of knowledge, tacit and explicit, are strongly related to two of the project success dimensions: GP efficiency, and success of the product/service. The literature pointed out that organizations recognize the importance of knowledge management but they still face many barriers to implement it in practice. The publications allowed verifying that the subjects are still little related, making it a challenging field for future studies.

知识管理与项目绩效关系分析:文献回顾与概念框架

摘要:知识管理是项目和组织应对当前竞争环境挑战的关键资源。本文旨在探讨项目背景下知识管理的核心主题，探讨知识管理与项目绩效之间的关系。为此，本文采用文献计量学分析、编撰法和内容分析法进行文献综述。在Web of Knowledge (Web of Science Core Collection)数据库中进行检索和抽样。首先，研究结果确定了处理隐性知识和显性知识的主要策略，分别是通过编码形式获取专家知识和编制项目文档。这两种类型的知识，无论是隐性的还是显性的，都与项目成功的两个维度密切相关:GP效率和产品/服务的成功。文献指出，组织认识到知识管理的重要性，但在实践中实施知识管理仍面临许多障碍。这些出版物允许验证这些主题仍然很少相关，使其成为未来研究的一个具有挑战性的领域。

期刊介绍： Gestão & Produção is a journal published four times a year year (March, June, September and December) by the Departamento de Engenharia de Produção (DEP) of Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar). The first issue of Gestão & Produção was published in April, 1994. Actually, G&P was result of experience of professors of DEP/UFSCar in editing, in the beginning, "Cadernos DEP" in the 1980s, followed by "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção". The last three issues of "Cadernos de Engenharia de Produção" were a test previous to the launch of Gestão & Produção because most of the journal characteristics were already established, like regularity.
