Strategic Learning and Knowledge
Management
By Ron Sanchez and Aimé Heene
John Wiley & Sons., 252 pp.
Reviewed by Andrea Levy
Strategic Learning and Knowledge Management draws on ongoing research
into organizational competence to introduce several new approaches
to the strategic management of learning and knowledge. Concepts
from emerging theory in competence-based competition are used to
investigate processes of strategic learning, examining both organizational
contexts in which learning takes place and organizational dynamics
for creating new knowledge. The search for competitive advantage,
however, also challenges organizations to become more effective
in using their existing knowledge to greatest strategic benefit.
Accordingly, this volume also examines processes within firms that
improve both the creation and application of new knowledge in competitive
and cooperative interactions between organizations. Strategic Learning
and Knowledge Management challenges many notions prevalent in current
discussions of knowledge and learning, such as the strategic value
of 'tacit knowledge' and the need to rely primarily on internal
learning processes. Using case studies from American and European
companies, the contributors bring you up to date with current thinking
about managing strategically important knowledge in organizations.
