Gest?o do Conhecimento – GC – como recurso estratégico e fonte de Vantagem Competitiva Sustentável – VCS – na perspectiva Resource-based view – RBV

摘要

The Knowledge Management – KM – searches to integrate organization to the knowledge that can be created, shared and stored. This study aims to show how the KM is used as a strategic resource and source of Sustainable Competitive Advantage – SCA – in the Resource based view – RBV – perspective. We made a survey in the form of census with the students of Master Business Administration – MBA of FAGEN – Faculdade de Gest?o e Negócios – da UFU – Universidade Federal de Uberlandia –. This students are managers and have employees with your leadership. After a review of the literature on KM and SCA, we have structured the instrument of research from the Knowledge Management Diagnostic created by Bukowitz and Williams (2002) and from the Framework VRIO proposed by Barney (1991,1995). Considering the criterion of overall performance of 55%, the calculation of the median indicates a percentage of 70%. However, the GC is used at a preliminary level. That way, there is the need for the companies to recognize the importance of the KM and also to work for its effective implementation. Finally, aligned to the company’s global strategic plan, the KM could be used as a strategic resource and source of SCA in the RBV perspective.
