Abstract:

The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of knowledge [ creation mode (e.g. goal-driven and goal-free) and organizational culture on knowledge creation and sharing performance in the context of high technology (high-tech) companies [ with the contribution of Dynamic Simulation Model. Both goal-free and goal-framed creation modes are more likely to support knowledge creation, while the goal-driven mode is not likely to be favorable for knowledge creation. The paper has leveraged the systems dynamic paradigm to conduct sustainable enterprise modelling and iThink system to implement the models. High-tech companies who are frequently looking for new ideas for product design [ and manufacturing technologies [ are more likely to adopt the goal-free creation mode. High-tech companies who would like to emphasize goal achievement with respect to creation in manufacturing should form an organizational culture with a characteristic of market competition [. Also, a company with both goal-free and/or goal-framed creation modes is more likely to be willing to frame its strategic decisions (or goals) and then freely look for creative ways to reach the goals.
