A knowledge review: implications for future research and practical application

Mikic, Stefan; White, Gareth; Razak, Azley Abd

Abstract

Knowledge has evolved from being an abstract concept that resides within the human mind to a manageable resource that is capable of contributing to organisational competitive advantage. Research in the field is largely divergent, both in methodological execution and in objective, resulting in potential for a widening of the gulf between scholastic endeavour and practical value. A ‘Knowledge Matrix’ based upon Tranfield and Starkey’s (1998) social and cognitive dimensional conceptualisation is used to depict the theory-practice gaps that exist in the knowledge management literature.
