Abstract

Knowledge has been regarded as an important strategic resource in organizations, it is necessary to know about how to manage and integrate various kinds of resources effectively that are bestead to knowledge management. Recently, the importance of the information technology (IT) for effective KM activities has been indicated. The match of IT and KM is an important concern for executives. However, their high-high fit doesn't always yield positive organizational outcome since enough exceptions indicated that business strategy and knowledge strategy, as well as human resource management strategy are interdependent that must be integrated as a whole. Drawing on the concept of strategic alignment, this study proposed a KM strategic alignment model (KMSAM) within which business strategy, HRM strategy, KM strategy, and IT strategy are coexisted. Empirical data for hypotheses testing are collected from top ranked companies in Taiwan; yielding 161 valid samples. Performance implications of Strategic alignment are examined using covariation approaches. The results indicate that strategic alignment among these four strategies is contribution to business performance.
