Abstract

The purpose of this study are as follows : First, This study conceptually provide an insight of reasons that organizations seek to create, acquire, store and distribute knowledge at the level of an organization and of process how they can transform or evolve to knowledge based organizations. Second, this study confirms examine what theories can be used to knowledge management, how such theories can be useful to analyse knowledge management and provide a theoretical foundation for knowledge management research. Applied to the theories of knowledge based and resource based view and institutional theory, the essence of knowledge management confirms that the organization finds job-related knowledge and know-how retained by individual of organizational members systematically and shares common knowledge within the organization and explains knowledge creation, multi-dimensional knowledge transition and share in all dimension of individual, group, and organization. As a result of comparative analysis of theory of organizational knowledge creation theory, In knowledge management, building of knowledge-creative culture, transitional process of explicit knowledge and tacit knowledge, knowledge creation and knowledge operation are important. In the basis on these study results, we discussed how the organizational knowledge creation theory can be used to manage knowledge in the organization, and also proposed hypotheses based on some arguments against the universal acceptance of the theory.

본 연구는 지식원천 이론과 제도적 이론관점에서 조직의 지식 수용과정과 창출활동을 분석 설명하고자 하였다. 연구목적으로는 첫째, 지식경영과 지식경영활동에 적용되어지고 있는 다수의 이론들의 본질을 선행연구를 중심으로 살펴하고, 둘째, 지식경영에 적용된 이론들의 차이점과 공통점을 분석하여, 효과적인 지식경영을 위한 제언을 제공하는 것이다. 연구결과, 지식경영활동의 자원과 제도를 중심으로 본 지식 수용이론과 조직의 지식창조활동과 관련된 이론들을 중심으로 지식경영 활동의 본질을 확인한 결과, 지식수용 활동은 구성원 개인들이 보유하고 있는 업무관련 지식이나 노하우를 체계적으로 발굴하여 조직 내부의 보편적 차원의 지식으로 공유하고 적극 활용하여 조직 전체의 경쟁력 향상 도모가, 지식창출 활동은 조직 내 개인, 집단, 조직 등 모든 차원에서 지식 창출을 위한 학습, 다차원적 지식이전과 공유를 위한 창조적 문화 활성화과정의 중요성을 이론으로 살펴보았다. 또한, 지식 창출 이론의 비교 분석의 결과, 우리는 보편적으로 받아들여지고 있는 조직의 지식 창출이론에 대하여 몇몇 인자에 기초하여 조직의 지식을 관리하는 데 제안 할 수 있는 가설과 방법을 논의 하였다.
