Abstract
Knowledge management is a process that transforms individual knowledge into organisational knowledge. The aim of this paper is to show that through creating, accumulating, organising and utilising knowledge, organisations can enhance organisational performance. The impact of knowledge management practices on performance was empirically tested through structural equation modelling. The sample included 329 companies both in Slovenia and Croatia with more than 50 employees. The results show that knowledge management constructs (i.e. information technology, organisation and knowledge) positively affect organisational performance.

The knowledge-creating company : how Japanese companies create the dynamics of innovation

TL;DR: In this article, Nonaka and Takeuchi argue that Japanese firms are successful precisely because they are innovative, because they create new knowledge and use it to produce successful products and technologies, and they reveal how Japanese companies translate tacit to explicit knowledge.

Organizational culture and knowledge management processes: case study in a public university

TL;DR: The results of the factor analysis used in this study suggest that adhocracy organizational culture, in which an organization is characterized by emphasis on individual initiative and employee empowerment, may not necessarily affect all knowledge management processes equally.

Evaluation of goodness-of-fit indices for structural equation models

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the use of goodness-of-fit indices for the assessment of the fit of structural equation models to data and assess their strengths and weaknesses, and discuss less biased estimates of goodness of fit and a relative normedfit index for testing fit of a structural model exclusive of the measurement model.
