To achieve better organizational performance from managing knowledge, management strategists recommend that firms relate knowledge management with business activities. As a resource, knowledge can be related to business through alignment, as is applicable to other resources such as information. Despite interest in managing knowledge, however, there has been little or no research about aligning knowledge-related resources with business. Lack of empirical evidence creates a gap between the theory and practice of knowledge management. In this study, I integrated theories about knowledge and alignment to develop an alignment framework and model for knowledge management research, developed a knowledge strategy construct, and empirically tested the alignment model within a mediation perspective along with the Miles and Snow's strategic typology. Mediation was interpreted as the mechanism through which knowledge strategy could catalyze business strategy for the attainment of better performance and vice versa. |
