Personalising organisational knowledge and organisationalising personal knowledge

Abstract

Purpose This paper aims to study the relationship between personal knowledge management (PKM) and organisational knowledge management (OKM). Design/methodology/approach Based on the proposed framework of PKM and OKM, the author has analytically modelled and studied the strategies of linking the two to manage personal knowledge for organisational purposes. Findings Applying a framework categorising PKM and OKM from two dimensions – knowledge properties and management perspectives – the author proposes the strategies of personalising organisational knowledge (POK) and organisationalising personal knowledge (OPK) as the effective linkage between PKM and OKM. Integrating a knowledge management system (KMS) into the framework, the author determines the optimal level of KMS in facilitating the implementation of POK and OPK strategies. Research limitations/implications Future research may relax some of the assumptions and empirically verify the analytical results. Practical implications The research provides guidelines for matching investments in information technology with appropriate knowledge management strategies. Originality/value With a unique approach, the paper contributes to the missing link between PKM and OKM.
