Abstract

Os benefícios da gestão do conhecimento em empresas atuantes em mercados competitivos são conhecidos. A empresa líder no segmento de segurança privada no setor empresarial de Santa Catarina serviu como base para pesquisa quanto à adoção da gestão do conhecimento. A pesquisa foi exploratória, com método qualitativo. Os resultados permitiram constatar a viabilidade da gestão do conhecimento nas empresas do setor.

As Bayley and Shearing (2001) inform, there is a strong pressure from insurance companies on organizations to hire specialized capital protection services. This reality leads to the need of knowledge production and maintenance for the success of business activities in this sector. Knowledge management is a process that creates, organizes and disseminates knowledge in the organization, facilitating and controlling access to knowledge in order to enable the company to have more agile actions.
