Wissensmanagement in Unternehmen

Corporate Knowledge Management has to be accessed by its contribution to business objectives. Thus KM activities have to focus on "knowledge in action", which leads to decisions and activities. Knowledge in action becomes reality in the interaction of explicit and tacit elements. All KM initiatives have to refer to this interaction as basical logic of knowledge processes. But business objectives are heterogenous or even in a negative relationship with each other. This bcomes also obvious in the differences of interactions between explicit and tacit knowledge. But if business objectives and the resulting knowledge logics are funtamentally different and in the same time KM is used as supporting instrument for achieving business objectives, then tailor-made KM methods refering to the specific knowledge logics have to be developed and aimed to the different business objectives. This is the task KM research has to tackle.
