Abstract: Knowledge Management (KM) is typically defined as the holistic combination of measures for managing people, processes and technology. However, most of the KM literature focuses on the technology part, and the explicit integration of Human Resource Management (HRM) into KM initiatives is seldom examined. Thus, shedding light on how HRM practices combined with KM initiatives leverage the firm's human capital and create value is our major aim. Drawing on the Resource-Based View of the firm (RBV), and combining the advances of the KM and HRM literature, this paper proposes a model for leveraging human capital and value creation by combining HRM and KM initiatives.

Keywords: human capital; human resource management; HRM; knowledge management; competitive advantage; resource-based view; RBV; value creation. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
