| Abstract: |
Based on the observation that on one hand a lot of knowledge management initiatives lack of a precise assessment of the relevant knowledge assets and that on the other hand actual concepts of knowledge audits lack of a sound theoretical basis, the aim of this paper is to describe the theoretical basics of such a knowledge audit: Its core idea lies in the integration of knowledge stock- and knowledge flow measurement. The concept of Intellectual Capital (IC) makes clear that knowledge measurement from this perspective deals with the measurement of knowledge stocks. Hence, the impact of IC investments at the beginning of a period can be identified in an increased knowledge stock at the end of the period. Unfortunately, IC measurement approaches do not provide managers with explicit recommendations on how to deal with the resource knowledge within a period. Hence, managers can be provided with knowledge flow measures in order to be able to manage the resource knowledge more specifically. A case study illustratesthe benefits of knowledge flow measurement in order to plan and evaluate knowledge management projects explicitly.
