Abstract

The implementation of business strategies in an enterprise requires the engagement of all employees, but especially of knowledge workers. In this way, many organizations are focusing on knowledge sharing within the company. Knowledge sharing among knowledge workers could be a critical enabler of an effective implementation of business strategies. This study analyzes the links between the knowledge sharing of knowledge workers and the success of the implementation of business strategies in Polish manufacturing enterprises. It focuses on defined groups of knowledge workers in a manufacturing company and is based on a survey and on data obtained from 119 Polish manufacturing enterprises. This is followed by a discussion of the results of the empirical studies and of the supporting literature.
