Knowing in order to grow better – in companies, too
A recently discussed thesis demonstrates the positive relationship between sharing and development in production organisations
Turning knowledge into a shared asset, so as to promote the better development of an enterprise. An important benchmark that is difficult to attain for more or less all production organisations, a goal that highlights a corporate culture that not only strictly cares about production, but also about the global impact of its activities – Sara Pax explores this tangle of issues in her thesis, discussed only a few weeks ago at Franklin University.
Indeed, “Examining the influence of knowledge leadership behaviours on the enablers of knowledge management in small and medium-sized companies” summarises a complex investigation focused on the management of knowledge in companies, where knowledge is understood as a key factor for the financial success and the long-term sustainability of a small business. In particular, the goal of this study is to understand whether a relationship exists between leadership behaviours and knowledge management tools. In addition to this, Sara Pax’s work provides leaders, especially in SMEs, with important evidence that supports their efforts to adopt knowledge management practices allowing everyone to adequately benefit from them within their company.
The outcomes of this analysis show the existence of a statistically significant link between a management mode that fosters learning and positive relationships with employees, the creation of a collaborative atmosphere within the company itself, and the improvement in the management of the whole production organisation. Making knowledge available to everyone and as such turning it into an enterprise’s shared asset is, in other words, one of the best ways to leverage competitiveness, a tool available to those entrepreneurs and managers who know how to use it. Moreover, it is also one of the best expressions of that good corporate culture that succeeds in seeing production organisations as entities not purely focused on making a profit, but on attaining something more complex and comprehensive, too.
