Abstract: This study examines the impact of modern Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and the firm's reconfiguring capabilities on knowledge utilisation by using data from a sample of 299 companies. The study builds on and extends the existing literature on the knowledge-based view of the firm and the management of human resources. The findings show a connection between the practices employed by the firm and its ability to utilise knowledge. The need to adopt modern practices and to develop the ability to reconfigure existing structures and processes for effective knowledge use is emphasised. Managerial implications and avenues for further research are discussed.
