Este trabalho tem como principal objetivo evidenciar e analisar o relacionamento entre os elementos que constituem a gestão estratégica do conhecimento: os fatores inerentes a gestão do conhecimento e as dimensões estratégicas organizacionais que apóiam esta gestão; no contexto das empresas residentes em parques tecnológicos do estado de São Paulo, apresentando mecanismos que sejam capazes de direcionar ao estabelecimento de posições de vantagem competitiva a situação peculiar destas empresas. Com intuito de atingir o objetivo proposto foi realizada uma ampla revisão bibliográfica que abrangeu muitos estudos sobre o processo de gestão do conhecimento e administração estratégica, buscou-se com isso: identificar os principais fatores do processo de gestão do conhecimento, por meio de atributos que os qualificassem e identificar as dimensões estratégicas que de alguma forma estavam relacionadas a gestão do conhecimento. Com isso, foi possível analisar a relação entre os fatores supracitados no contexto organizacional das empresas instaladas no: Parque Científico e Tecnológico de Campinas - Ciatec e o Parque Tecnológico de São Carlos - ParqTec. A pesquisa é caracterizada como exploratória e descritiva, por realizar descrições categóricas da situação, visando descobrir as relações existentes entre os elementos componentes da mesma, e por explorar um assunto pouco abordado. Para a pesquisa empírica, aplicou-se na coleta de dados um questionário fechado, por meio de correio eletrônico aos dirigentes das empresas, o questionário empregava a escala Likert e visou mensurar a percepção dos dirigentes em relação aos elementos da gestão estratégica do conhecimento. Com base nesses resultados foi possível realizar: a análise descritiva, a análise de correspondência, o teste binomial e o diagrama de correlação que permitiu avaliar a associação entre as variáveis investigadas. De modo geral, observou-se nos resultados que o comportamento dos parques em relação ao processo de gestão do conhecimento difere de forma significativa, demonstrando que aspectos como: a influência do ambiente, diferentes estilos de administração e distintos tamanhos de equipes de trabalho, entre outros, influenciam fortemente no gerenciamento das empresas. No que concernem as estratégias empregadas pelas empresas que subsidiam a gestão do conhecimento, uma maior proximidade de comportamentos foi verificada, indicando que elementos como: a equivalência na área de atuação das empresas e necessidades parecidas de mão-de-obra qualificada, requer estratégias similares. E por fim, a análise do relacionamento entre os fatores que caracterizam a gestão do conhecimento e as dimensões estratégicas expressou que esta relação gestão do conhecimento e dimensões estratégicas estava mais estruturada nas empresas instaladas no Parque Científico e Tecnológico de Campinas, apesar de tratar-se de uma infra-estrutura recente de incorporação de empresas. / The main objective of this work is to evidence and to analyse the relationship between the elements that characterized the strategic knowledge management: the knowledge management factors and strategical dimensions; in the context of companies located in technological parks in São Paulo?s state, presenting mechanisms that it may be capable to direct to the establishment of competitive advantage to the peculiar situation of these companies. It was realized an ample bibliographical revision about many studies of knowledge management process and strategical management, searched: to identify the main factors of the knowledge management process, by attributes that characterize them; to identify the strategical dimensions related to the knowledge management. So it was possible to analyze the relation between the above mentioned factors in the organizational context of the companies resident in: Scientific and Technological Park of Campinas - Ciatec and the São Carlos Technological Park - ParqTec. The research is characterized as exploratory - descriptive, for carrying through categorical descriptions of the situation, aiming at to discover the existing relations between the elements, and for exploring a subject little discussed. For the empirical research, a closed questionnaire was applied in the collection of data, by e-mail to the companies managers, the questionnaire used the Likert scale and aimed at to calculated the perception of managers in relation to the strategical knowledge management. With these results, it was possible to realize: the descriptive analysis, correspondence analysis, the binomial test and the correlation diagram that allowed evaluating the association between the investigated variables. In general way, it was observed in the results that the behavior of the parks in relation to the knowledge management process differs from significant form, demonstrating that aspects as: the influence of the environment, different styles of administration and distinct sizes of work teams, etc, influences strongly companies management. In related to the strategies, that subsidize the knowledge management, used for the companies, a stronger proximity of behaviors was verified, indicating that elements as: equivalence in the performance area and similar necessities of qualified manpower requires similar strategies. And finally, the analysis of the relationship between the factors that characterize the knowledge management and strategical dimensions expressed that it was more structuralized in the companies of the Scientific and Technological Park of Campinas, surprising, a time that it deals with a recent infrastructure to the incorporation of companies.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has forced companies to undergo a rapid digital transformation, including a shift towards remote-hybrid work structures. This has disrupted traditional ways of working, including strategic knowledge management (SKM). Effective SKM is crucial for organizations to succeed under remote-hybrid working arrangements and requires modernization of knowledge management strategies. Despite significant research on SKM and remote-hybrid work separately, there is a lack of understanding of how remote- hybrid work structures affect SKM, and the development of effective strategies to manage strategic knowledge in this new digital environment. Purpose: This thesis aims to investigate how remote-hybrid work structures influence the management of strategic knowledge in organizations. It aims to bridge the fields of SKM and hybrid organizations by exploring how organizations can design their infrastructures and processes to succeed with SKM under a remote-hybrid work structure. Method: This study adopts a critical realism research philosophy, an abductive research approach, and an exploratory single case study design to explore SKM in the context of remote- hybrid work structures. Data was collected through seven semi-structured interviews with CEOs and partners at different offices of the case company, as well as four observation sessions. The analysis of data was conducted in three steps, namely empirical analysis, abstraction, and retroduction. Conclusion: This study offers a unique perspective on the relationship between remote-hybrid work structures and SKM processes in organizations. By highlighting the importance of digital infrastructure and knowledge-sharing culture, the study identifies key factors for successfully managing strategic knowledge in this new work context. The study also provides a new conceptual framework that bridges the fields of remote-hybrid work and SKM, emphasizing the interlinks between infrastructures, organizational culture, and SKM processes. These insights provide a valuable contribution to both SKM research and practical implications for managers seeking to design effective SKM infrastructures and processes that provide a strategic advantage.

This study set out to provide important empirical evidence on the role of knowledge management (KM) within Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in New Zealand and the United Kingdom and to explore how such companies handle their planning and strategic choices. In today’s knowledge economies the management of knowledge has become vital. In the context of SMEs, this is even more critical because they often operate under difficult conditions and are subject to global pressures from large corporations and demanding customers. In spite of the significance of SMEs as essential for any nation’s growth and success, and even though many scholars and business managers claim that knowledge management is highly relevant for SMEs, there has been little research about this concept in SMEs, in general, and in New Zealand, in particular. The few studies in the literature conclude that this concept is mostly neglected by SMEs even though it is vital and has high potential benefits for them. A quantitative research method approach was adopted. Self-completion questionnaires were sent to the senior management of firms with 100 employees or less, from a cross-section of industries. As part of this process an original knowledge management model was developed. The basic research questions were deduced from this model and the items in the questionnaire were created to answer these research questions. In New Zealand, a total of 417 SMEs were contacted by mail and 180 useable questionnaires were returned. In the United Kingdom, 1268 SMEs were contacted and 241 useable responses were received. The response rates of 43.2% in New Zealand, of 19% for the United Kingdom and of 25% in total, are satisfactory. Therefore, the basis of this study was a large (421 responses) and high quality transnational sample, which allowed for sound quantitative analyses. The claim by previous researchers that knowledge management in the SME sector is not yet fully developed appears to be supported by the results of this research. The large majority of respondents regard themselves as not familiar enough with the concept of knowledge management to actually benefit from it in practice. Even though the respondents in both countries seem to appreciate knowledge management as a relevant and useful concept with potential, many do not seem to be sufficiently informed about this concept. Few have a knowledge management initiative in place or are planning or in the process of setting up one. The responses, which vary little between the two sub-samples, point to a short-term rather than a long-term management perspective being dominant. Major barriers in terms of the deliberate creation and sharing of knowledge are a lack of time and higher importance given to daily operational activities. The respondents - predominantly senior managers - indicate that they primarily consider themselves to be responsible for ensuring that knowledge is captured and shared and relatively little responsibility is given to other employees or specialists. SMEs do apply several aspects of knowledge management, however, this is generally informal and with an operational rather than a strategic focus. From the responses it is apparent that knowledge is shared internally mostly via people-based mechanisms. More advanced measures such as the systematic collection, organisation and storage of knowledge are less common. The results indicate a number of differences between the respondents. In this regard it is most evident that the more familiar respondents are with the concept of knowledge management the more proactive they are in terms of managing knowledge on an operational and strategic level. This transnational research strongly links knowledge management to strategy and it clarifies how this concept can impact the formulation of strategy and the strategic competence of SMEs. Therefore, the results add new knowledge to the areas of SME research and strategic knowledge management.
