Abstract: Treating knowledge as fourth key resource of value adding processes has led to major changes in economic and management theory. Empirical proof of knowledge related hypotheses is scarce. There is a lack of coherence between the different concepts of knowledge management as well as a major gap between knowledge management theory and practice. The first part of this paper critically examines the similarities and differences of the leading perspectives of knowledge management and organizational learning. The result of this analysis is a new integrative approach of knowledge management that helps to link knowledge management theory with practice. The second part of this paper applies this approach via a case study analysis of a large German automotive supplier. Results show how the know-how of 10,000 employees can be identified and transformed into shared action with regard to the strategic goals of the firm.
