The empirical segment of our work is based on data on KM strategies and organizational performance from a sample of 131 Korean firms. Our results suggest three types of relationship among KM strategies: non-complementarity, and non-critical symmetric complementarity, and asymmetric complementarity.
Integrating explicit-oriented with tacit-oriented KM strategies showed non-complementarity.
which suggests a drag on obtaining higher levels of organizational perlormance our analysis of KM strategies based on KM source shows that companies could benefit from KM by implementing extemal-riented or internal- oriented strategy.
Combining the tact-internal-oriented and explicit-external-oriented KM strategies indicates a complementarity relationship.
which implies synergis effects of KM strategies on performance.
