Studies and researches have unanimously agreed that the knowledge gap is one of the precise concepts of knowledge management, which is defined as the difference between the available knowledge and the knowledge required in the organization. As there are minimal and limited researches conducted on the subject, this study addresses the knowledge gap within knowledge management under the title: "Analysis of Strategic Knowledge Gap in Organizations Using Mathematical Modeling.” Where the problem of the study was represented in the main question: How can the knowledge gap of knowledge management be analyzed through the use of mathematical modeling? The main purpose is to present a conceptual framework of knowledge gap within knowledge management in an institution, then, develop a mathematical model to analyze the strategic knowledge gap in organization.
In this study, content analysis approach to study the knowledge gap applications, connotation, and the studies that were conducted on it. As well as studying mathematical models, their characteristics, implementations and utilization in the fields of knowledge management. Then, a scientific modeling approach was followed to develop a mathematical model to analyze the strategic knowledge gap in organizations. Hence, the conceptual framework was defined by classifying it into three types, as follows: the strategic knowledge gap, the organizational knowledge gap, and the human knowledge gap. Then developing a mathematical model for the strategic knowledge gap within organizations, with the aim of assessing the volume of the strategic knowledge and determining its impact on the strategic performance gap.
This study presented a model of two mathematical relationships, the first is between the available knowledge in the organization, and the required knowledge to implement the strategic plan. The second relationship is between the strategic knowledge gap and the strategic performance gap. Then, the model was tested on hypothetical data of four organizations, by applying the self-assessment of available and required knowledge for each year of the organization’s strategic plan, then analyzing the assessment output by using (SPSS) to understand the mathematical relations.
Most notable outcome of the study was that the knowledge gap is inversely affected by the increase or the decrease in the available knowledge, and that the strategic performance gap is directly affected by the strategic knowledge gap in the organization. This concludes, that to reach an optimal minimal strategic performance gap, the organization must have a minimal strategic knowledge gap. This requires a cumulative decrease in the gab for consecutive years. The study recommended applying the model to any organization over the span of three years of its strategic plan.
Key words: : Knowledge management, knowledge gap, mathematical modeling. |
