Resumo

Resumo:: A gestão do Conhecimento (GC) é um tema que vem despertando o interesse de muitos pesquisadores nas últimas décadas, sendo grande parte das contribuições orientadas por etapas, denominadas processo de GC. Por se tratar de um tema abrangente, as publicações sobre o processo de GC apresentam contribuições multidisciplinares e, desta forma, esta pesquisa tem por objetivo conceituar este processo, analisando as principais abordagens que orientam o estudo de cada etapa, e, também, levantar as principais publicações que tratam do tema, classificando-as quanto à sua área de contribuição. Para alcançar estes objetivos, este artigo é orientado por uma pesquisa teórico-conceitual, na qual foram estudados 71 artigos. Os resultados desta pesquisa apontam que o processo de GC é constituído de quatro etapas: aquisição, armazenamento, distribuição e utilização do conhecimento. Na fase de aquisição, as temáticas estudadas são aprendizagem organizacional, absorção de conhecimento, processo criativo e transformação do conhecimento. Na fase de armazenamento, as contribuições tratam do indivíduo, organização e tecnologia da informação, enquanto na fase de distribuição os estudos concentram-se nas temáticas contato social, comunidade de prática e compartilhamento via tecnologia de informação. E, por fim, na fase de utilização, são abordados os temas forma de utilização, capacidade dinâmica e recuperação e transformação do conhecimento.

Abstract

Abstract:: Knowledge Management (KM) is a subject that has aroused the interest of many researchers in the last decade, being great part of contributions driven by steps, named KM process. Because it is an embracing theme, publications about KM process have multidisciplinary contributions and, thus, this research aims to conceptualize this process, analyzing the main approach that guides the study of each stage, and also, to raise the main publications on the subject, classifying them as to their contribution area. To reach these goals, this article is oriented by a theoretical-conceptual research, in which 71 articles were studied. The results indicate that the KM process consists of four stages: acquisition, storage, distribution, and use of knowledge. In the acquisition phase, the studied themes are organizational learning, knowledge inception, creative process and knowledge transformation. In the storage phase, the contributions deal with a person, an organization and information technology, while in the distribution phase the studies concentrate in social contact themes, practice community and sharing via information technology. And, finally, in the use phase, we address the form of use, dynamic capacity and retrieval and knowledge transformation.
