Quantitative model of organization’s knowledge potential assessment

Abstract

Although plenty of scientists have researched the theoretical and practical problems of assessing organization’s knowledge potential for a few decades, a unified and single methodology of assessment has not been accepted. The outcome of our research is the original concept for determining knowledge potential, essentially based on new principles. An assessment of the factors making a real impact helped in building a model including such components as employee’s knowledge potential, knowledge potential synergy, and organization’s external medium. The quantitative specifications of the above introduced components have been prepared. Practical application of the model has been researched by an experiment.
