Abstract

This research evaluates the hypothesis that knowledge management in the organization should be developed in conjunction with change management. The ability to implement change is a critical factor in creating value based on knowledge and consequently in effectiveness of organizations. The empirical dataset includes 95 Russian private and state-owned organizations. Results of modeling confirm that knowledge management and change readiness are both important for private organizations, but for state-owned organizations, knowledge management is not a factor affecting effectiveness. This means that state-owned organizations reproduce the Soviet bureaucratic style of management at the present time.
